2 Maccabees 1:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ Who alone art gracious, who alone art just, and almighty, and eternal, who deliverest Israel from all evil, who didst choose the fathers and didst sanctify them:

²⁶ Receive the sacrifice for all thy people Israel, and preserve thy own portion, and sanctify it.

²⁷ Gather together our scattered people, deliver them that are slaves to the Gentiles, and look upon them that are despised and abhorred: that the Gentiles may know that thou art our God.
