and

And the blessing of the Lord (will be) with him: he will be strong and stumble not;

His hope (will be) in the Lord: who then can prevail against him (He will be) mighty in his works, and strong in the fear of God,

(He will be) shepherding the flock of the Lord faithfully and righteously, And will suffer none among them to stumble in their pasture.

(He will be) shepherding the flock of the Lord faithfully and righteously, And will suffer none among them to stumble in their pasture.

He will lead them all aright, And there will be no pride among them that any among them should be oppressed.

May the Lord hasten His mercy upon Israel! May He deliver us from the uncleanness of unholy enemies! The Lord Himself is our king for ever and ever.

And Thy love (is) toward the seed of Abraham, the children of Israel. Thy chastisement is upon us as (upon) a first-born, only-begotten son,

May God cleanse Israel against the day of mercy and blessing, Against the day of choice when He bringeth back His anointed.

Under the rod of chastening of the Lord's anointed in the fear of his God, In the spirit of wisdom and righteousness and strength;

Under the rod of chastening of the Lord's anointed in the fear of his God, In the spirit of wisdom and righteousness and strength;

Great is our God and glorious, dwelling in the highest.

(It is He) who hath established in (their) courses the lights (of heaven) for determining seasons from year to year, And they have not turned aside from the way which He appointed them

In the fear of God (they pursue) their path every day, From the day God created them and for evermore.

And they have erred not since the day He created them. Since the generations of old they have not withdrawn from their path, Unless God commanded them (so to do) by the command of His servants.

And what is now, and what shall yet befall

And what is now, and what shall yet befall

And thou, shrewd mortal, prudently make known,

The whole world, saying, "Let there be," and there was.

Round about Tartarus, and he himself

Spread out the gleaming sea, and crowned the sky

And decked the earth with plants, and mingled sea

And decked the earth with plants, and mingled sea

With rivers, and the air with zephyrs mixed

And watery clouds; and then, another race

And watery clouds; and then, another race

And birds unto the winds, and to the woods

And birds unto the winds, and to the woods

The beasts of shaggy neck, and snakes that crawl,

And all things which now on the earth appear.

These by his word he made, and every thing

Was speedily and with precision done;

For he was self-caused and from heaven looked down

And finished was the world exceeding well.

And then thereafter fashioned he again

And bade him in ambrosial garden dwell,

And prayed that he might see another form

Such as he had. And forthwith, from man's side

A wedded spouse, and in that Paradise

Gave her to dwell with him. And, when he gazed

A pattern so exact; and with wise words

And afterwards delivering them commands

And to gain knowledge of both good and evil.

And to gain knowledge of both good and evil.

She gave, and urged the unknowing man to sin.

And he, persuaded by the woman's words,

And treated plain commandments with neglect.

According to their deed. And then the leaves

And put them on each other, and concealed

And put them on each other, and concealed

And cast them out of the immortal land.

And straightway they, upon the fruitful soil

Forthgoing, with their tears and groans were wet;

And to them then the immortal God himself

Sufficient food." Thus he spoke; and he made

On belly and on side, a crawling snake,

Driving him out severely; and he sent

Dire enmity between them and the one

Of evil-plotting vipers and of men.

And then indeed the race was multiplied

And there grew up one people on another

Innumerable. And houses they adorned

Of all kinds and made cities and their walls

Of all kinds and made cities and their walls

Well and expertly; and to them was given

Well and expertly; and to them was given

They mocked their fathers and their mothers scorned;

Kinsmen they knew not, and they formed intrigues

Against their brothers. And they were impure,

And they made wars. And then upon them came

And they made wars. And then upon them came

And Hades then received them; it was called

Went first and earth encompassed him around.

And therefore all men born upon the earth

[Of the surviving and most righteous men]

That cared for lovely works, and noble toils,

Distinguished reverence and solid wisdom;

And they were trained in arts of every kind,

And one devised to till the land with plows,

For sailing, and another watched the stars

And practiced augury with winged fowls;

And use of drugs had interest for one,

And others were in every other art

And a huge body; stout with mighty form

And after these a third strong-minded race

And terrible, who wrought among themselves

Many an evil. And fights, homicides,

And battles did continually destroy

And from these afterward another race

For maddening wrath and sore impiety

Were sent upon them. And wars, homicides,

And battles sent some into Erebus,

And later yet another race much worse

Single among all men, most just and true,

For noblest works. And to him God himself

In thyself and to all the people preach

Of planks strong and impervious to the wet.

And subtile skill, and rule of measurement

And subtile skill, and rule of measurement

And order; and for all things will I care

And order; and for all things will I care
