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.
