[1] Have mercy upon us, O Lord the God of all, and behold;
[2] And send your fear upon all the nations:
[3] Lift up your hand against the strange nations; And let them see your mighty power.
[4] As you was sanctified in us before them, So be you magnified in them before us.
[5] And let them know you, as we also have known you, That there is no God but only you, O God.
[6] Show new signs, and work various wonders; Glorify your hand and your 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 your mighty works.
[9] Let him that escapeth be devoured by the rage of fire; And may they that harm your 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 your inheritance, as from the beginning.
[12] O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by your name, And upon Israel, whom you did liken to a firstborn.
[13] Have compassion upon the city of your sanctuary, Jerusalem, the place of your rest.
[14] Fill Sion; exalt your oracles, Andfill your people with your glory.
[15] Give testimony to those that were your creatures in the beginning, And raise up the prophecies that have been in your name.
[16] Give reward to them that wait for you: And men shall put their trust in your prophets.
[17] Hearken, O Lord, to the prayer of your suppliants, According to the blessing of Aaron concerning your people; And all they that are on the earth shall know That you are 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 does 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 has 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 sowho shall trust a man that has no nest, and lodgeth wheresoever he findeth himself at nightfall?
