1Have mercy upon us, O Lord the God of all, and look at us with favor;↗
2and send your fear upon all the nations.↗
3Lift up your hand against the foreign nations and let them see your mighty power.↗
4As you showed your holiness in us before them, so be magnified in them before us.↗
5Let them know you, as we also have known you, that there is no God but only you, O God.↗
6Show new signs, and work various wonders. Glorify your hand and your right arm.↗
7Raise up indignation and pour out wrath. Take away the adversary and destroy the enemy.↗
8Hasten the time and remember your oath. Let them declare your mighty works.↗
9Let him who escapes be devoured by raging fire. May those who harm your people find destruction.↗
