12
Have mercy, O Lord, upon the people called by thy name, upon Israel, whom thou hast likened to a first-born son.
13
Have pity on the city of thy sanctuary, Jerusalem, the place of thy rest.
14
Fill Zion with the celebration of thy wondrous deeds, and thy temple with thy glory.
15
Bear witness to those whom thou didst create in the beginning, and fulfil the prophecies spoken in thy name.
16
Reward those who wait for thee, and let thy prophets be found trustworthy.
