“What aileth thee, O thou sea, that thou fleest? Thou Jordan, that thou turnest back? ”
“What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Jordan, that you turned back?”
“Why do you flee, O sea? Why do you turn back, O Jordan River?”
“The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.”
“What was wrong with you, O sea, that you went in flight? O Jordan, that you were turned back?”
“What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back?”
For he has inclined his ear to me. And in my days, I will call upon him.
The sorrows of death have surrounded me, and the perils of Hell have found me. I have found tribulation and sorrow.
And so, I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, free my soul.
Merciful is the Lord, and just. And our God is compassionate.
The Lord is the keeper of little ones. I was humbled, and he freed me.
Turn again, my soul, to your rest. For the Lord has done good to you.
For he has rescued my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from slipping.
