Thou hast set anger and lust to pursue me; I have been sorely troubled by them, O God! These belong to Thee, O God; I am greatly amazed that Thou canst not control them. They may amuse Thee, but they cost us our souls; we are always full of grief and fear. Tuka says, This is the effect of our own destiny; who would ridicule Thee, the All-Powerful One?
