Tread Down Our Foes,
O God.
Let your Holy Spirit
abide in us,
and fill us with
courage--
tread down our fear.
Tread down our callousness,
that we may show
mercy.
Tread down our
indifference;
make us encouraging.
Tread down our
hostility;
may we welcome
the alien.

Yet
now take courage, O Zerubbabel, says the LORD; take courage, O Joshua, son of
Jehozadak, the high priest; take courage, all you people of the land, says the

that I made you when you came out of Egypt.
My spirit abides among you; do not fear.
