Sirach 36A Prayer for God’s People

1Have mercy upon us, O God of all,

2and put all the nations in fear of you.

3 as we have known,

that there is no God but you, O Lord.

6Give new signs and work other wonders;

7make your hand and right arm glorious.

8

and let people recount your mighty deeds.

11Let survivors be consumed in the fiery wrath,

and may those who harm your people meet destruction.

12

16and give them their inheritance, as at the beginning.

17 your firstborn.

18

Jerusalem, the place of your dwelling.

19

and your temple with your glory.

20Bear witness to those whom you created in the beginning,

and fulfill the prophecies spoken in your name.

21 your people,

and all who are on the earth will know

that you are the Lord, the God of the ages.

Concerning Discrimination

23The stomach will take any food,

yet one food is better than another.

24

a helper fit for him and a pillar of support.

30

31 Prov 27.8; Sir 29.24 For who will trust a nimble robber

who skips from city to city?

So who will trust a man who has no nest

but lodges wherever nighttime finds him?
