katapi HOME Ecclesiasticus 36:1-17 - A prayer for Israel.  Sir.36.1-17

36 1 Have mercy upon us, O Lord, the God of all, and look upon us,
36 2 and cause the fear of you to fall upon all the nations.
36 3 Lift up your hand against foreign nations
and let them see your might.
36 4 As in us you have been sanctified before them,
so in them be magnified before us;
36 5 and let them know you, as we have known
that there is not God but you, O Lord.
36 6 Show signs anew, and work further wonders;
36 7 make your hand and your right arm glorious.
36 8 Rouse your anger and pour out your wrath;
36 9 destroy the adversary and wipe out the enemy.
36 10 Hasten the day, and remember the appointed time,
and let people recount your mighty deeds.
36 11 Let him who survives be consumed in the fiery wrath,
and may those who harm your people meet destruction.
36 12 Crush the heads of the rulers of the enemy,
who say, "There is no one but ourselves."
36 13 36 14 36 15 36 16 Gather all the tribes of Jacob,
and give them their inheritance, as at the beginning.
36 17 Have mercy, O Lord, upon the people called by your name,
upon Israel, whom you have likened to a first-born son.
