[A post election prayer]
O God, how long shall
the wicked,
how long shall the
wicked exult?
Those who call evil
good, and good evil,
who put bitter for
sweet, and sweet for bitter,
who put darkness for
light, and light for darkness?
Lord, give us the
strength to endure all these things,
but remind us in all
circumstances to give you thanks,
rejoicing in your
love, praying without ceasing.
And remind us--even though
heaven and
earth pass away, your
words
shall not pass away.

Ah, you who call evil good

and sweet for bitter!
