Almighty God, if even
the queen of Sheba struggled
for words adequate to
sing the praise of Solomon,
how much less are we
able to bless your name,
or to tell of your
salvation from day to day.
And even when we do
bless you, how often
from the same mouth
come abusive words and
accusations. Forgive us, we know this should not be!
