Lord God, Judge of all the earth,
holiness befits your house forevermore.
Our house is built upon sand;
when the rain falls, the floods come,
what will become of us?
Teach us to discipline ourselves,
and to keep alert for evil,
which prowls like a roaring lion,
looking to devour us.
Though your decrees are very sure,
so is your steadfast love.

O LORD, forevermore.
Gen. 18:25
"…Far be it
from you to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the
righteous fare as the wicked! Far be
that from you! Shall not the Judge of
all the earth do what is just?" [Abraham,
bargaining with the LORD over the destruction of Sodom]

yourselves, keep alert. Like a roaring
lion your adversary the devil prowls around, looking for someone to devour.

fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and
it fell--and great was its fall!"
