9
Thou hast given us into the hands of lawless enemies, most hateful rebels, and to an unjust king, the most wicked in all the world.
10
And now we cannot open our mouths; shame and disgrace have befallen thy servants and worshipers.
11
For thy name's sake do not give us up utterly, and do not break thy covenant,
12
and do not withdraw thy mercy from us, for the sake of Abraham thy beloved and for the sake of Isaac thy servant and Israel thy holy one,
13
to whom thou didst promise to make their descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as the sand on the shore of the sea.
