Holy One of Israel,
You silence the
roaring of the seas
and calm the tumult
of the peoples.
You have chosen one
abhorred and deeply despised,
and made even kings
and princes bow down before him.
May we live our lives
by faith in him,
who loved us and gave
himself for us.

and they shall prostrate themselves,
because of the LORD, who is faithful,
the Holy
One of Israel, who has chosen you.”
