7:7 Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies. And arise, O Lord, my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded:

7:8 et synagoga populorum circumdabit te : et propter hanc in altum regredere :

7:8 And a congregation of people shall surround thee. And for their sakes return thou on high.

7:12 Deus judex justus, fortis, et patiens ; numquid irascitur per singulos dies ?
