And let him hear a cry in the morning and the shouting at noontime; ¹⁷ because he did not kill me from the womb; and that my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great with me . ¹⁸ Why did I come forth from the womb to see toil and sorrow, and my days consumed in shame?

¹ James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes in the Dispersion, greeting: ² My brothers count it all joy when you fall into various trials, ³ knowing that the proving of your faith works patience. ⁴ But let patience have its perfective work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. ⁵ But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask from God, who gives to all freely and with no reproach, and it will be given to Him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, doubting nothing. For the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, being driven by wind and being tossed; ⁷ for do not let that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; ⁸ he is a double-souled man, not dependable in all his ways. ⁹ But let the lowly brother rejoice in his lifting up; ¹⁰ and the rich one rejoice in his humiliation, because he will pass away like the flower of the grass. ¹¹ For the sun rose with the hot wind and dried up the grass, and its flower fell out, and the beauty of its appearance perished; so also the rich one will fade away in his ways.

Answer me, O Jehovah, my God! Make my eyes gleam, lest I sleep the death; ⁴ lest my enemy say, I have overcome him and my foes rejoice when I am shaken. ⁵ But I have trusted in Your mercy. My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. ⁶ I will sing to Jehovah, because He has rewarded me.
