Give peace in our time O, Lord...

 


From all evil and mischief;

From sin, from the crafts and

assaults of the devil;

From thy wrath, and from

everlasting damnation.

Good Lord, deliver us.

From all blindness of heart;

From pride, vain-glory,

and hypocrisy; From envy, 

hatred, and malice, and from

all uncharitable.

good Lord deliver us.

From fornication, and all other deadly

sin; and from all the deceits of the world,

the flesh, and the devil,

Good Lord, deliver us.

From lightning and tempest;

From plague, pestilence, and

famine; from battle and murder, and from

sudden death, and killing in Ukraine.

Good Lord, deliver us.

Jeg har ikke hastverk; ikke sola og månen heller... --- I'm not in a hurry; not the sun and the moon either ... Je ne suis pas pressé; pas le soleil et la lune non plus...

 


Vinden blåser uten å vite det.
Plantene lever uten å vite det.
Jeg lever og uten å vite det,
men jeg hvet at jeg lever.
Men veit jeg at jeg lever, eller veit jeg
bare at jeg veit det?

The wind blows without knowing it.
The plants live without knowing it.
I live and without knowing it,
but I bet I live.
But do I know I'm alive, or do I know
just that I know?
