English text
Samuel the priest gave up the ghost,
And all Israel mourned. (1 Samuel 2:1)
Have pity on me, O ye my friends,
For the hand of God hath touched me. (Job 19:21)
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me,
And mine acquaintance into darkness. (Psalm 88:18)
I am weary with my groaning all the night,
Make I my bed to swim,
I water my couch with my tears. (Psalm 6:6)
My soul cleaveth unto the dust,
My soul melteth for heaviness. (Psalm 119:25)
Naked I came out of my mother's womb,
And naked shall I return.
The Lord gave, and the Lord taketh away.
And blessed be the name of the Lord! (Job 1:21)
