I said: In the noon of my life I have to depart for the gates of Sheol I am deprived of the rest of my years... My tent is pulled up, and thrown away like the tent of a shepherd; like a weaver you roll up my life to cut it from the loom -- from the canticle of Hezeliah Isaiah 38:10,12 正當盛年 我就要離去 我的余年將會交給陰府之門 我的居所被拆除,從我身上拆去 彷彿是牧童上的帳棚 你好像是織工,捲起了我的生命 由織機上將我割斷 --希西家聖歌 以賽亞書 38:10,12

A canticle (from the Latin canticulum, a diminutive of canticum, song) is a hymn (strictly excluding the Psalms) taken from the Bible. The term is often expanded to included ancient non-biblical hymns such as the Te Deum and certain psalms used liturgically.

Hezekiah (or Ezekias) (Hebrew: חזקיה or חזקיהו, "God has strengthened") was the 13th king of independent Judah and the son of King Ahaz and Abijah (2 Chronicles 29:1), who was a daughter of a man (who was not the prophet) named Zechariah.
