Be silent before the Lord GOD!
For the day of the LORD is at hand ...

III. Meditation: Judgment
As we dispense justice,
we stand under your judgment.
Why do we not judge for ourselves?
Have we judged unjustly? ;
Shown partiality to the wicked?
Given justice to the weak and the orphan?
Maintained the right of the lowly and destitute?
We will be silent before you-
fear , glorify, and worship you
in the hour of your judgment.
