Mighty King, lover of justice,
you have established equity;
you have executed justice
and righteousness.
All human beings are of one flesh:
natives, aliens are to be treated alike;
women are of no less value than men
(our Risen Lord greeted women first;
they held his feet and worshiped him).
But Lord, equity and justice
do not prevail in our world:
not as to nationality or race,
not as to wealth or gender.
God, help us rectify this,
our unrighteousness.
