Have mercy upon us, O Lord the God of all, and behold;

2 And send thy fear upon all the nations:

3 Lift up thy hand against the strange nations;

4 As thou wast sanctified in us before them,

5 And let them know thee, as we also have known thee,

6 Show new signs, and work diverse wonders;

7 Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath;

8 Hasten the time, and remember the oath;

9 Let him that escapeth be devoured by the rage of fire;

10 Crush the heads of the rulers of the enemies,

11 Gather all the tribes of Jacob together,

12 O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name,

13 Have compassion upon the city of thy sanctuary,

14 Fill Zion; exalt thine oracles,

15 Give testimony unto those that were thy creatures in the beginning,

16 Give reward unto them that wait for thee:

17 Hearken, O Lord, to the prayer of thy suppliants,

18 The belly will eat any meat;

19 The mouth tasteth meats taken in hunting:

20 A froward heart will cause heaviness:

21 A woman will receive any man;

22 The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance;

23 If there is on her tongue mercy and meekness,

24 He that getteth a wife entereth upon a possession:

25 Where no hedge is, the possession will be laid waste:

26 For who will trust a nimble robber, that skippeth from city to city?
