Provisional translation

O my God and my Lord! Thou seest what Thou seest, and Thou witnessest what Thou dost witness, and Thou beholdest, O my Beloved, how I have been afflicted [3.5s]... ...Before Me, riseth up the Serpent of wrath with jaws stretched to engulf Me, and behind Me stalketh the lion of anger intent on tearing Me in pieces
