God my Deliverer,
take thought for me, I pray,
for I am poor and
needy, and you are my help.
The fig tree knows
when to put forth its fruits,
the vines their time
to blossom--may I not fail
to recognize the time
of your visitation to me
because I fear you
will find me not as I wish.

You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God.

You are my help and my deliverer;
do not delay, O my God.

and the
vines are in blossom;
they give
forth fragrance.
Arise, my love, my fair one,
and come
away."

God." [Jesus to Jerusalem]
