From the letter Pe to the letter Lamed

An ancient custom gives each person a verse: the one that begins with the first letter of their name and ends with the last. For Perl, from פ to ל:

פֶּן־יִטְרֹף כְּאַרְיֵה נַפְשִׁי פֹּרֵק וְאֵין מַצִּיל׃

“Lest he tear me apart like a lion, dragging me off with no one to rescue me.”

Psalms 7:3
