Prayer of Son of Sirach Ecclesiasticus 36 Psalm 122

Most High

Have mercy upon us O Lord God of all and behold us and send Thy fear upon all the nations that seek not after Thee.  Lift up Thy hands against the strange nations and let them see Thy Power. As Thou wast sanctified in us before them; so be Thou magnified among them before us, and let them know Thee as we have known Thee, that there no God but only Thou O God.

Shew new signs and make other strange wonders: Glorify Thy Hand and Thy Right Arm, that they may set forth Thy wondrous works.  Raise up indignation  and pour out wrath ; take away the adversary and destroy the enemy.  Make the time short, remember the covenant , and let them declare Thy wonderful works.   Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire and let them perish that oppress the people.  Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the heathen that say ,there is none other but we. 

Gather all the tribes of Jacob together and inherit Thou them as from the beginning.  Lord have mercy upon the people that is called by Thy name and upon Israel whom Thou hast named Thy firstborn.  Be merciful unto Jerusalem Thy holy city the place of Thy rest.  Fill Zion with Thine unspeakable oracles and Thy people with Thy glory.  

Give testimony unto those that Thou hast possessed from the beginning and raise up Prophets that have been in Thy Name.    Reward them that wait for Thee and let Thy Prophets be found faithful.  O Lord hear the prayer of Thy servants according to the blessing of Aaron over Thy people, that all they which dwell upon the earth may know that Thou art the Lord ,The Eternal God.   

So be it





All praise and love to The God of Abraham The God of Isaac and The God of Jacob
