How manifold are your
works, O God!
In wisdom you have
made them all;
the earth is full of
your creatures.
It is time for us to
sow righteousness
for the sake of the
world you have given us.
Our boat is filling
with water; the earth is perishing,
but you do not accuse
us of the crimes we are expecting.
We must recognize the
danger: selfish wastefulness
of fuels is
contributing to a changing climate.
Rain righteousness
upon us, that we may
mend our ways and
stop the burning.
