the Angels of His Punishment to whom
they have been handed over so that they
might give them a little respite. And so
that they might fall down and worship
in front of the Lord of Spirits, and
confess their sins in front of Him.
63.2 And they will bless and praise the
Lord of Spirits, and say: "Blessed be
the Lord of Spirits, and the Lord of
Kings, the Lord of the Mighty, and the
Lord of the Rich, and the Lord of Glory,
and the Lord of Wisdom!
63.3 And everything secret is clear, in
front of You, and your power is for all
generations, and your glory is forever
and ever. Deep and without number are
all your secrets and your righteousness
is beyond reckoning.
63.4 Now we realize that we ought to
praise and bless the Lord of Kings and
the one who is King over all Kings."
63.5 And they will say: "Would that we
might be given a respite, so that we
might praise and thank and bless him,
and make our confession in front of His
Glory.
63.6 And now we long for a respite, but
do not find it; we are driven off and do
not obtain it; and the light has passed
away from before us, and darkness will
be our dwelling forever and ever.
63.7 For we have not made our
confession before him, and we have not
praised the name of the Lord of Kings,
and we have not praised the Lord for all
his works, but our hopes have been on
the sceptre of our kingdom, and of our
glory.
63.8 And on the day of our affliction
and distress he does not save us, and we
find no respite to make our confession
that our Lord is faithful in all his
doings, and in all his judgments and his
justice, and that his judgments show no
respect for persons.
63.9 And we pass away from in front of
him because of all our works and all our
sins have been counted exactly."
63.10 Then they will say to them: "Our
souls are sated with possessions gained
through iniquity, but they do not
prevent our going down into the flames
of the torment of Sheol."
63.11 And after this their faces will be
filled with darkness and shame, in front
of that Son of Man, and they will be
driven away from him. And the sword
will dwell among them - in front of
Him.
