12 O יהוה, You establish peace for us, for You have also done all our works in us.
13 O יהוה our Elohim, other masters besides You have had rule over us; only in You do we make mention of Your Name.
14 The dead do not live; the departed spirits do not rise. Therefore You have visited and destroyed them, and made all their remembrance to perish.
15 You shall increase the nation, O יהוה, You shall increase the nation; You are esteemed; You shall expand all the borders of the land.
16 O יהוה, in distress they shall visit You, they shall pour out a prayer when Your disciplining is upon them.
17 As a woman with child and about to give birth writhes and cries out in her pain, so shall we be before Your face, O יהוה.
18 We have conceived, we writhed in pain; we have given birth to wind. We have not accomplished deliverance in the earth, nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
