1Have mercy upon us, O God of all,[#36.1 Heb: Gk O Master, the God]
2and put all the nations in fear of you.
3Lift up your hand against foreign nations[#Ps 79.6; Jer 10.25]
and let them see your might.
4As you have used us to show your holiness to them,[#Ezek 20.41; 28.25]
so use them to show your glory to us.
5Then they will know, as we have known,[#Josh 4.24; 1 Kings 8.43, 60; #36.5 Heb: Gk And let them know you]
that there is no God but you, O Lord.
6Give new signs and work other wonders;
7make your hand and right arm glorious.
8Rouse your anger and pour out your wrath;[#Ps 79.6; Jer 10.25]
9destroy the adversary and wipe out the enemy.
10Hasten the day, and remember the appointed time,[#36.10 Other ancient authorities read remember your oath]
and let people recount your mighty deeds.
11Let survivors be consumed in the fiery wrath,
and may those who harm your people meet destruction.
12Crush the heads of hostile rulers[#Ps 68.21; 110.6]
who say, “There is no one but ourselves.”
13Gather all the tribes of Jacob,[#Sir 48.10; #36.13 Verse numbers 14 and 15 are not used in chapter 36]
16and give them their inheritance, as at the beginning.
17Have mercy, O Lord, on the people called by your name,[#Dan 9.18, 19; 2 Esd 6.58]
on Israel, whom you have named your firstborn.
18Have pity on the city of your sanctuary,[#2 Chr 6.41; Ps 132.8, 14; #36.18 Or on your holy city]
Jerusalem, the place of your dwelling.
19Fill Zion with your majesty[#Isa 24.23; #36.19 Heb Syr: Gk the celebration of your wondrous deeds]
and your temple with your glory.
20Bear witness to those whom you created in the beginning,
and fulfill the prophecies spoken in your name.
21Reward those who wait for you,[#Isa 40.31]
and let your prophets be found trustworthy.
22Hear, O Lord, the prayer of your servants, according to your goodwill toward your people,[#Num 6.23–27; 1 Kings 8.60; 1 Tim 1.17; #36.22 Heb and two Gk mss: Lat and most Gk mss read according to the blessing of Aaron for]
and all who are on the earth will know
that you are the Lord, the God of the ages.
23The stomach will take any food,
yet one food is better than another.
24As the palate tastes the kinds of game,[#Job 12.11; 34.3]
so an intelligent mind detects false words.
25A perverse mind will cause grief,[#Sir 34.9]
but a person with experience will pay him back.
26A woman will accept any man as a husband,
but one daughter is preferable to another.
27A woman’s beauty lights up a man’s face,[#1 Esd 4.18, 19]
and there is nothing he desires more.
28If kindness and humility mark her speech,[#Prov 31.26]
her husband is more fortunate than other men.
29He who acquires a wife gets his best possession,[#Gen 2.18; Prov 18.22; #36.29 Heb: Gk enters upon a possession]
a helper fit for him and a pillar of support.
30Where there is no fence, the property will be plundered,[#Sir 28.24a]
and where there is no wife, a man will become a fugitive and a wanderer.
31For who will trust a nimble robber[#Prov 27.8; Sir 29.24]
who skips from city to city?
So who will trust a man who has no nest
but lodges wherever nighttime finds him?
