Judith 9:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² “Please, please, God of my forefather,
    God of the heritage of Israel,
Lord of heaven and earth,
    Creator of the waters,
king of all your creation,
    hear my prayer.
¹³ Grant that my deceitful words may result
    in the wounding and destruction of those
who have devised dire plans
    against your covenant and against your temple,
    against Mount Zion and the dwelling place your children have inherited.
¹⁴ Let your whole nation and all its tribes clearly understand
    that you are God,
    the God of all power and might,
and that there is no other who protects the people of Israel
    but you alone.”
