Holy One, you live
forever and ever;
we give you glory and
honor and thanks.
God, the people of
Syria have fallen on rocky
soil--pulled up by
their roots, scorched
by warfare, they
wither away.
The needy groan as
they search for bread;
if they still have
any treasures left,
they trade them for
food.
Rise up, O God,
and place them in the
safety for which they
long.
