12 Lord, have mercy on Israel, the people who are known by your name, whom you called your firstborn son.
13 Take pity on Jerusalem, your holy city, where you chose to stay.
14 Fill your Temple on Mount Zion with your glory and with hymns of praise.
15 Testify for your people, whom you created in the beginning; fulfil the prophecies that have been spoken in your name.
16 Reward those who have put their faith in you, and vindicate your prophets.
17 You have always been gracious to your people; listen to your servants as we pray. Then everyone on earth will recognize that you are the Lord, the God of the ages.
18 Any kind of food can be eaten, but some foods are better than others.
