O God, you desire
everyone to be saved
and to come to the
knowledge of the truth:
Save us from pride in
our own prosperity
and the belief that
we control our destiny,
for you tear down the
house of the proud
and maintain the
boundaries of the widow.
How can we be proud
of the fruit we bear?
Without you neither
fruit nor tree is good.
