O God, when you provide to us a cornerstone,
and we who would build rebel and reject it,
without your guidance, without vision,
our gates sink deep into the ground.
With anguish of heart and many tears,
out of much distress we come back to you
and find, amazing to our eyes, the cornerstone.
At last we know the abundance of your love for us.
and we who would build rebel and reject it,
without your guidance, without vision,
our gates sink deep into the ground.
With anguish of heart and many tears,
out of much distress we come back to you
and find, amazing to our eyes, the cornerstone.
At last we know the abundance of your love for us.

Make [my enemies] bear their guilt, O God;

because of their many transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
