We ask thee holy Father, to establish the people that shall worship and honorably hold a name and standing in this thy to all generations and for eternity, that no weapon formed against them shall prosper; that he who diggeth a pit for them shall fall into the same himself; that no combination of wickedness shall have power to rise up and prevail over thy people, upon whom thy name shall be put in this : and if any people shall rise against this people that thine anger be kindled against them: and if they shall smite this people thou wilt smite them— thou wilt fight for thy people as thou didst in the day of battle, that they may be delivered from the hands of all their enemies.
