Put away from us, O God,
and trample under foot,
our lust for tribute and
our delight in war,
our longing for might
and power—
the evil thoughts in our
hearts;
replace them by your
Spirit.
Then all bitterness and
wrath,
anger and wrangling and
slander,
together with all malice,
will disappear.
We will be kind to one
another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another as
God in Christ has forgiven us.
