Gracious, loving God,
happy are those whose strength is in you,
in whose heart are the
highways that lead to your kingdom.
Wretched are those
who worship the beast, who are full
of bloodshed, full of
deceit, who plunder for booty.
Teach us to trust in
your goodness, that you will
provide what we need
as we strive for your
kingdom and that our
name may be
written in your book of
life.
