Sirach 51:1-3 -"I give you thanks, O God of my father, I praise you, O God my savior! I will make known your name, refuge of my life; you have been my helper against my adversaries. You have saved me from death, and kept back my body from the pit. From the clutches of the nether world you have snatched my feet. You have delivered me, in your great mercy from the scourge of a slanderous tongue and from lips that went over to falsehood. So I raised my voice from the very earth from the gates of the nether world, my cry. I called out:O Lord, you are my father, you are my champion and my savior. Do not abandon me in time of my danger."
