22
Now bless the God of all who everywhere does great things, who raises us up from our birth and deals mercifully with us.
23
May he give us gladness in our hearts, and may there be peace in our time, in Israel as in times past.
24
May he grant us his mercy, and may he rescue us in our lifetime.
25
My spirit takes offense at two nations, and the third is not even a nation:
26
those who settled on Samaria's hills, the Philistines, and the foolish people who dwell in Shechem.
