Have mercy upon us,
O God of all, and behold
-- --
us, and shew us the light
of thy mercies:
2 And send thy fear upon
the nations, that have not
sought after thee: that they
may know that there is no God
besides thee, and that they
may shew forth thy wonders.
3 Lift up thy hand over
the strange nations, that they
may see thy power.
4 For as thou hast been
sanctified in us in their sight,
so thou shalt be magnified among
them in our presence,
5 That they may know
thee, as we also have known
thee, that there is no God beside
thee, O Lord.
6 Renew thy signs, and
work new miracles.
7 Glorify thy hand, and
thy right arm.
8 Raise up indignation,
and pour out wrath.
9 Take away the adversary,
and crush the enemy.
10 Hasten the time, and
remember the end, that they
may declare thy wonderful
works.
11 Let him that escapeth
be consumed by the rage of
the fire: and let them perish
that oppress thy people.
12 Crush the head of the
princes of the enemies, that
say: There is no other beside
us.
13 Gather together all the
tribes of Jacob: that they
may know that there is no God
besides thee, and may declare
thy great works: and thou
shalt inherit them as from the
beginning.
14 Have mercy on thy
people, upon whom thy name
is invoked: and upon Israel,
whom thou hast raised up to
be thy first-born.
15 Have mercy on Jerusalem,
the city which thou hast
sanctified, the city of thy rest.
16 Fill Sion with thy unspeakable
words, and thy people
with thy glory.
17 Give testimony to them,
that are thy creatures from the
beginning, and raise up the
prophecies, which the former
prophets spoke in thy name.
18 Reward them that patiently
wait for thee, that thy
prophets may be found faithful:
and hear the prayers of
thy servants,
19 According to the blessing
of Aaron over thy people,
and direct us into the way of
justice, and let all know that
dwell upon the earth, that
thou art God the beholder of
all ages.
20 The belly will devour
all meat, yet one meat is better
than another.
21 The palate tasteth venison,
and the wise heart false
speeches.
22 A perverse heart will
cause grief, and a man of experience
will resist it.
23 A woman will receive
every man: yet one daughter
is better than another.
-- --
24 The beauty of a woman
cheareth the countenance of
her husband, and a man desireth
nothing more.
25 If she have a tongue
that can cure, and likewise
mitigate and shew mercy: her
husband is not like other men.
26 He that possesseth a
good wife, beginneth a possession:
she is a help like to
himself, and a pillar of rest.
27 Where there is no hedge,
the possession shall be spoiled:
and where there is no wife,
he mourneth that is in want.
28 Who will trust him that
hath no nest, and that lodgeth
wheresoever the night taketh
him, as a robber well appointed,
that skippeth from
city to city.
