System widened

In creating a score, one system "went beserk" and widdened to the point it isn't even on the page any more. How to fix it? What did I do?

When I opened it, all the systems were the correct width. *shrug*

I did notice two things. First, in mm. 43, 47-53, and 64. you have the male voices set in Voice 2 for no reason. That's why there are those unnecessary whole-measure rests.

And, just a suggestion: At m. 18, I would give the lyric "of his handmaiden" to the women, and have the men go silent. Perhaps split sopranos to cover the missing G on the word "hand" (from the tenor).
