2 Maccabees 1:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ And the prayer of Nehemias was after this manner: O Lord God, Creator of all things, dreadful and strong, just and merciful, who alone art the good king,

²⁵ Who alone art gracious, who alone art just, and almighty, and eternal, who deliverest Israel from all evil, who didst choose the fathers and didst sanctify them:

²⁶ Receive the sacrifice for all thy people Israel, and preserve thy own portion, and sanctify it.
