Lord God of hosts,
you expect justice, but the world
is full of bloodshed; righteousness,
but the persecuted cry out for mercy.
Lead your people in what is right;
humble us to receive your wisdom;
for when we receive and practice it,
we will learn how right it is for us.
As we grow in grace and knowledge
of our Lord Jesus Christ, teach us
to pray and work for a new world,
where righteousness is at home.
