God of gods and Lord of
lords,
Great God, mighty and
awesome--
you treat all with
fairness and honesty,
you execute justice for
orphans and widows
and you provide them with
food and clothing.
O my God, I cry to you
by day,
but you do not answer,
and by night, but find
no rest.
Lord, you sent us Jesus,
in every respect
tested as we are tested,
yet without sin.
He speaks your words,
and he gives
the Spirit without
measure.
Pray give me the Spirit,
that I may find rest.
