2 Maccabees 1:25-27

New Catholic Bible

²⁵ you alone are gracious, just, almighty, and eternal, the deliverer of Israel from every evil, the one who designated our ancestors as your chosen ones and consecrated them. ²⁶ Accept this sacrifice on behalf of all your people Israel, and protect and sanctify your heritage. ²⁷ Gather together our dispersed people, set free those who have been enslaved by the Gentiles, look with favor on those who are despised and detested, and let the Gentiles realize that you are our God.
