Brenton 1851
O Lord, do not resign thy sceptre to them that are not, and let them not laugh at our fall, but turn their counsel against themselves, and make an example of him who has begun to injure us.
Greek · Brenton
“Μὴπαραδῷς Κύριε τὸ σκῆπτρόνσουτοῖς μὴοὖσι, καὶ μὴ καταγελασάτωσαν ἐν τῇ πτώσει ἡμῶν, ἀλλὰ στρέψον τὴν βουλὴν αὐτῶν ἐπʼ αὐτούς· τὸν δὲ ἀρξάμενον ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς παραδειγμάτισον.
