A prayer for Yisrael’s restoration

Sir 36:1–17

36 Have mercy upon us, Oh master the god of all, and look at us with favour;

2 and send your fear upon all the nations.[fn]

3 Lift up your hand against the foreign nations

and let them see your mighty power.

4 As you showed your holiness in us before them,

so be magnified in them before us.

5 Let them know you, as we also have known you,

that there is no god but only you, Oh God.

6 Show new signs, and work various wonders.

Glorify your hand and your right arm.[fn]

7 Raise up indignation and pour out wrath.

Take away the adversary and destroy the enemy.

8 Hasten the time and remember your oath.

Let them declare your mighty works.

9 Let him who escapes be devoured by raging fire.

May those who harm your people find destruction.

10 Crush the heads of the rulers of the enemies

who say, “There is no one but ourselves.”

11 Gather all the tribes of Ya’akov (Jacob) together,

and[fn] take them for your inheritance, as from the beginning.

12 Oh master, have mercy upon the people that is called by your name,

and upon Yisrael (Israel), whom you likened to a firstborn.

13 Have compassion upon the city of your sanctuary,

Yerushalem (Jerusalem), the place of your rest.

14 Fill Tsiyon (Zion). Exalt your oracles

and fill your people with your glory.

15 Give testimony to those who were your creatures in the beginning,

and fulfil the prophecies that have been spoken in your name.

16 Reward those who wait for you,

and men will put their trust in your prophets.

17 / 17 Listen, Oh master, to the prayer of your servants,

according to the blessing of Aharon (Aaron) concerning your people;

and all those who are on the earth will know

that you are the master, the[fn] eternal God.

36:6 The remainder of this verse is omitted by the best authorities.

36:11 The ancient authorities read I took them for my inheritance: but the Greek text is here very confused.
