| 36 1 | Have mercy upon us, O Lord, the God of all, and look upon us, | A prayer for Israel. Sir.36.1-17 | Ἑλέησον ἡμᾶς, δέσποτα ὁ θεὸς πάντων, καὶ ἐπίβλεψον, |
| 2 | and cause the fear of you to fall upon all the nations. | καὶ ἐπίβαλε τὸν φόβον σου ἐπὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη· | |
| 3 | Lift up your hand against foreign nations and let them see your might. | ἔπαρον τὴν χεῖρά σου ἐπὶ ἔθνη ἀλλότρια, καὶ ἰδέτωσαν τὴν δυναστείαν σου. | |
| 4 | As in us you have been sanctified before them, so in them be magnified before us; | ὥσπερ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν ἡγιάσθης ἐν ἡμῖν, οὕτως ἐνώπιον ἡμῶν μεγαλυνθείης ἐν αὐτοῖς· | |
| 5 | and let them know you, as we have known that there is not God but you, O Lord. | καὶ ἐπιγνώτωσάν σε, καθάπερ καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐπέγνωμεν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν θεὸς πλὴν σοῦ, Κύριε. | |
| 6 | Show signs anew, and work further wonders; | ἐγκαίνισον σημεῖα καὶ ἀλλοίωσον θαυμάσια, | |
| 7 | make your hand and your right arm glorious. | δόξασον χεῖρα καὶ βραχίονα δεξιόν· | |
| 8 | Rouse your anger and pour out your wrath; | ἔγειρον θυμὸν καὶ ἔκχεον ὀργήν, | |
| 9 | destroy the adversary and wipe out the enemy. | ἔξαρον ἀντίδικον καὶ ἔκτριψον ἐχθρόν. | |
| 10 | Hasten the day, and remember the appointed time, and let people recount your mighty deeds. | σπεῦσον καιρὸν καὶ μνήσθητι ὁρκισμοῦ, καὶ ἐκδιηγησάσθωσαν τὰ μεγαλεῖά σου. | |
| 11 | Let him who survives be consumed in the fiery wrath, and may those who harm your people meet destruction. | ἐν ὀργῇ πυρὸς καταβρωθήτω ὁ σῳζόμενος, καὶ οἱ κακοῦντες τὸν λαόν σου εὕροισαν ἀπώλειαν. | |
| 12 | Crush the heads of the rulers of the enemy, who say, "There is no one but ourselves." | σύντριψον κεφαλὰς ἀρχόντων ἐχθρῶν λεγόντων Οὐκ ἔστιν πλὴν ἡμῶν. | |

| 16 | Gather all the tribes of Jacob, and give them their inheritance, as at the beginning. | συνάγαγε πάσας φυλὰς Ιακωβ, καὶ κατακληρονόμησον αὐτοὺς καθὼς ἀπ' ἀρχῆς. | |
| 17 | Have mercy, O Lord, upon the people called by your name, upon Israel, whom you have likened to a first-born son. | ἐλέησον λαόν, Κύριε, κεκλημένον ἐπ' ὀνόματί σου, καὶ Ισραηλ, ὃν πρωτογόνῳ ὡμοίωσας. | |
