12. "A high and glorious throne is the place of our sanctification from the beginning.
13. O Lord, Hope of Israel: all who forsake you will be confounded. Those who withdraw from you will be written into the earth. For they have abandoned the Lord, the Source of living waters.
14. Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed. Save me, and I will be saved. For you are my praise.
15. Behold, they themselves are saying to me: 'Where is the word of the Lord? Let it come.'
16. But I am not troubled; I am following you as my shepherd. And I have not desired the day of man, as you know. That which has gone forth from my lips has been right in your sight.
17. May you not be a dread to me. You are my hope in the day of affliction.
18. May those who persecute me be confounded, but may I not be confounded. May they be fearful, and may I not be fearful. Lead over them the day of affliction, and crush them with a double destruction."
