Arise, O Lord, prevent them, and cast them down; deliver my soul from the ungodly; [draw] Your sword,

Awake, O sword, against My shepherds, and against the man who is My citizen, says the Lord Almighty; strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring My hand upon the little ones.

O Lord, when will You look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, my only begotten one from the lions.
