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?
