Sirach 51:11-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. Then I remembered your mercy, O Lord, and your works, which are from the very beginning.

12. For you rescue those who persevere for you, O Lord, and you free them from the hands of the Gentiles.

13. You exalted my habitation upon the earth, and I made supplication that death would pass away.
