You have spoken to us, dear God,
through the visions of many prophets.
Some saw condemnation because the worship
of the people was not sincere, while others
were carried away to see your glory.
Often when I honor you with my lips, O Lord,
my heart is far from you, and I speak by rote,
but let it be with me according to your word.
My soul waits for you; in your word I hope.
