Good people do not always have good tidings to bear;
and in spite of themselves, false accusers may be the vessels
through which you work out your will--you are not like humans.
You can turn all things to your purposes;
we can believe and trust what you say.
You are God of the living; in you
we can lie down and sleep
in peace.
