1 Have mercy upon us, O Lord the God of all, and look at us with favour;
2 and send your fear upon all the nations.ᵃᵇ
3 Lift up your hand against the foreign nations
4 As you showed your holiness in us before them,
5 Let them know you, as we also have known you,
6 Show new signs, and work various wonders.
7 Raise up indignation and pour out wrath.
8 Hasten the time and remember your oath.
9 Let him who escapes be devoured by raging 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 your name,
13 Have compassion upon the city of your sanctuary,
14 Fill Zion. Exalt your oracles
15 Give testimony to those who were your creatures in the beginning,
16 Reward those who wait for you,
17 Listen, O Lord, to the prayer of your servants,
18 The belly will eat any food,
19 The mouth tastes meats taken in hunting,
20 A contrary heart will cause heaviness.
21 A woman will receive any man,
22 The beauty of a woman cheers the countenance.
23 If kindness and humility are on her tongue,
24 He who gets a wife gets his richest treasure,
25 Where no hedge is, the property will be plundered.
26 For who would trust a nimble robber who skips from city to city?
