Sir 33
1
Have mercy upon us, O Lord God of all, and behold us:
2
And send your fear upon all the nations that seek not after you.
3
Lift up your hand against the strange nations, and let them see your power.
4
As you were sanctified in us before them: so be you magnified among them before us.
5
And let them know you, as we have known you, that there is no God but only you, O
God.
6
Shew new signs, and make other strange wonders: glorify your hand and your right arm,
that they may set forth your wondrous works.
7
Raise up indignation, and pour out anger: take away the adversary, and destroy the
enemy.
8
Sake the time short, remember the covenant, and let them declare your wonderful works.
9
Let him whom escapes be consumed by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that
oppress the people.
10
Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the heathen, that say, There is none other
but we.
11
Gather all the tribes of Jacob together, and inherit you them, as from the beginning.
12
A cheerful and good heart will have a care of his meat and diet.
