12O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works also Thou hast wrought for us.
13O Jehovah our God, lords have ruled us besides Thee, Only, by Thee we make mention of Thy name.
14Dead -- they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory.
15Thou hast added to the nation, O Jehovah, Thou hast added to the nation, Thou hast been honoured, Thou hast put far off all the ends of earth.
16O Jehovah, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured out a whisper, Thy chastisement [is] on them.
17When a pregnant woman cometh near to the birth, She is pained -- she crieth in her pangs, So we have been from Thy face, O Jehovah.
18We have conceived, we have been pained. We have brought forth as it were wind, Salvation we do not work in the earth, Nor do the inhabitants of the world fall.
