The Holy Scripture
Chapter XXXIII
Have mercy upon us, O Lord God of all, and behold us:
τῷ φοβουμένῳ κύριον οὐκ ἀπαντήσει κακόν ἀλλ᾿ ἐν πειρασμῷ καὶ πάλιν ἐξελεῖται
and send thy fear upon all the nations that seek not after thee.
ἀνὴρ σοφὸς οὐ μισήσει νόμον ὁ δὲ ὑποκρινόμενος ἐν αὐτῷ ὡς ἐν καταιγίδι πλοῖον
Lift up thy hand against the strange nations, and let them see thy power.
ἄνθρωπος συνετὸς ἐμπιστεύσει νόμῳ καὶ ὁ νόμος αὐτῷ πιστὸς ὡς ἐρώτημα δήλων
As thou wast sanctified in us before them: so be thou magnified among them before us.
ἑτοίμασον λόγον καὶ οὕτως ἀκουσθήσῃ σύνδησον παιδείαν καὶ ἀποκρίθητι
And let them know thee, as we have known thee, that there is no God but only thou, O God.
τροχὸς ἁμάξης σπλάγχνα μωροῦ καὶ ὡς ἄξων στρεφόμενος ὁ διαλογισμὸς αὐτοῦ
Shew new signs, and make other strange wonders: glorify thy hand and thy right arm, that they may set forth thy wondrous works.
ἵππος εἰς ὀχείαν ὡς φίλος μωκός ὑποκάτω παντὸς ἐπικαθημένου χρεμετίζει
Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath: take away the adversary, and destroy the enemy.
διὰ τί ἡμέρα ἡμέρας ὑπερέχει καὶ πᾶν φῶς ἡμέρας ἐνιαυτοῦ ἀφ᾿ ἡλίου
Make the time short, remember the covenant, and let them declare thy wonderful works.
ἐν γνώσει κυρίου διεχωρίσθησαν καὶ ἠλλοίωσεν καιροὺς καὶ ἑορτάς
Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire; and let them perish that oppress the people.
ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν ἀνύψωσεν καὶ ἡγίασεν καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἔθηκεν εἰς ἀριθμὸν ἡμερῶν
Smite in sunder the heads of the rulers of the heathen, that say, There is none other but we.
καὶ ἄνθρωποι πάντες ἀπὸ ἐδάφους καὶ ἐκ γῆς ἐκτίσθη Αδαμ
Gather all the tribes of Jacob together.
ἐν πλήθει ἐπιστήμης κύριος διεχώρισεν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἠλλοίωσεν τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτῶν
A cheerful and good heart will have a care of his meat and diet.
ἐξ αὐτῶν εὐλόγησεν καὶ ἀνύψωσεν καὶ ἐξ αὐτῶν ἡγίασεν καὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἤγγισεν ἀπ᾿ αὐτῶν κατηράσατο καὶ ἐταπείνωσεν καὶ ἀνέστρεψεν αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ στάσεως αὐτῶν
