[1] 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; And let them see thy mighty power.
[4] As thou wast sanctified in us before them, So be thou magnified in them before us.
[5] And let them know thee, as we also have known thee, That there is no God but only thou, O God.
[6] Shew new signs, and work divers wonders; Glorify thy hand and thy right arm.
[7] Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath; Take away the adversary, and destroy the enemy.
[8] Hasten the time, and remember the oath; And let them declare thy mighty works.
[9] Let him that escapeth be devoured by the rage of fire; And may they that harm thy people find destruction.
[10] Crush the heads of the rulers of the enemies, That say, There is none but we.
[11] Gather all the tribes of Jacob together, And take them for thine inheritance, as from the beginning.
[12] O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name, And upon Israel, whom thou didst liken unto a firstborn.
[13] Have compassion upon the city of thy sanctuary, Jerusalem, the place of thy rest.
[14] Fill Sion; exalt thine oracles, And fill thy people with thy glory.
[15] Give testimony unto those that were thy creatures in the beginning, And raise up the prophecies that have been in thy name.
[16] Give reward unto them that wait for thee: And men shall put their trust in thy prophets.
[17] Hearken, O Lord, to the prayer of thy suppliants, According to the blessing of Aaron concerning thy people; And all they that are on the earth shall know That thou art the Lord, the eternal God.
[18] The belly will eat any meat; Yet is one meat better than another.
[19] The mouth tasteth meats taken in hunting: So doth an understanding heart false speeches.
[20] A froward heart will cause heaviness: And a man of experience will recompense him.
[21] A woman will receive any man; But one daughter is better than another.
[22] The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance; And a man desireth nothing so much.
[23] If there is on her tongue mercy and meekness, Her husband is not like the sons of men.
[24] He that getteth a wife entereth upon a possession: A help meet for him, and a pillar of rest.
[25] Where no hedge is, the possession will be laid waste: And he that hath no wife will mourn as he wandereth up and down.
[26] For who will trust a nimble robber, that skippeth from city to city? Even so who shall trust a man that hath no nest, and lodgeth wheresoever he findeth himself at nightfall?
