Have mercy, Lord, on the people who have been called by your name; on Israel, whom you made like an oldest child.
Give testimony to them that are thy creatures from the beginning, and raise up the prophecies which the former prophets spoke in thy name.
You have always been gracious to your people; listen to your servants as we pray. Then everyone on earth will recognize that you are the Lord, the God of the ages.
Show mercy to the people called by your name: Israel, whom you named your firstborn.
Show mercy, Lord, to the people called by your name, Israel, whom you treated as your firstborn.
Have mercy, O Lord, on the people called by your name, on Israel, whom you have named your firstborn,
Have mercy, O Lord, on the people called by your name, on Israel, whom you have named your firstborn,
Have mercy, O Lord, on the people called by your name, on Israel, whom you have named your firstborn,
Have mercy, O Lord, on the people called by your name, on Israel, whom you have named your firstborn.
Hearken, O Lord, to the prayer of thy servants, according to the blessing of Aaron for thy people, and all who are on the earth will know that thou art the Lord, the God of the ages.
Hearken, O Lord, to the prayer of thy servants, according to the blessing of Aaron for thy people, and all who are on the earth will know that thou art the Lord, the God of the ages.
and hear thou the prayer of thy servants. After the blessing of Aaron give thou to thy people, and (ad)dress (or direct) thou us into the way of rightfulness; (so) that all men know, that dwell in (or on) (the) earth, that thou art God, the beholder of worlds. [and hear thou the orison of thy servants. After the blessing of Aaron give to thy people, and right rule us into the way of rightwiseness; that they all know, that dwell in the earth, for thou art God, beholder of worlds.]
