- 說、耶和華我們列祖的 神阿、你不是天上的 神麼.你不是萬邦萬國的主宰麼。在你手中有大能大力、無人能抵擋你。
- 我們的 神阿、你不是曾在你民以色列人面前驅逐這地的居民、將這地賜給你朋友亞伯拉罕的後裔永遠為業麼。
- 他們住在這地、又為你的名建造聖所、說、
- 倘有禍患臨到我們、或刀兵災殃、或瘟疫饑荒、我們在急難的時候、站在這殿前向你呼求、你必垂聽而拯救.因為你的名在這殿裡。
- 從前以色列人出埃及地的時候、你不容以色列人侵犯亞捫人、摩押人、和西珥山人.以色列人就離開他們、不滅絕他們。

- "But now here are men from Ammon, Moab and Mount Seir, whose territory you would not allow Israel to invade when they came from Egypt; so they turned away from them and did not destroy them.
