1 Have mercy on us, O Lord, the God of all, and look upon us, And put Your fear on all the nations.
2 Raise Your hand against foreign nations And let them see Your power.
3 As in us You have been sanctified before them, So in them may You be made great before us.
4 Let them know You as we also have known You, For there is no God but You, O Lord.
5 Renew Your signs and work fresh wonders; Glorify Your hand and Your right arm.
6 Stir up Your anger and pour out Your wrath; Drive away the adversary and destroy the enemy.
7 Hasten the time and remember Your oath, And let people declare Your mighty works.
8 Let him who survives be devoured in Your fiery wrath, And may those who harm Your people meet destruction.
9 Crush the heads of the rulers of the enemies Who say, “There is no one but us.”
10 Gather together all the tribes of Jacob, And grant them their inheritance as from the beginning.
11 Have mercy upon Your people called by Your Name, O Lord - Upon Israel, whom You have likened to Your firstborn son.
12 Have pity on the city of Your sanctuary, Jerusalem, the place of Your rest.
13 Fill Zion with the celebration of Your divine virtue And Your people with Your glory.
14 Give testimony to what You created in the beginning And raise up the prophecies spoken in Your name.
15 Reward those who wait for You And let Your prophets be found trustworthy.
16 Hear, O Lord, the prayer of Your suppliants, According to the blessing of Aaron over Your people;
17 And all on earth will know That You are the Lord, the God of the ages.
18 The stomach eats any kind of food, But some food is better than others.
19 As the palate tastes the flavor of game, So an understanding heart detects lying words.
20 A crooked heart will cause grief, But a man with great experience will pay him back.
21 A woman will accept any son, But one daughter is better than another.
22 A beautiful woman gladdens a man's face And surpasses his every desire.
23 If there is mercy and gentleness on her tongue, Her husband is not like other men.
24 He who gains a wife gets his best possession, A helper like him self and a pillar of support.
25 Where there is no wall, the property will be plundered, And where a man has no wife, he will wander around and groan.
26 Who will trust a well-equipped thief Who skips from city to city?
27 Who will trust a man who has no home And lodges wherever night overtakes him?
