In distress I called, and you answered me;
you relieved my shoulder from the burden,
O God; you freed my hands from the basket.
You invited me to your banquet, not me only—
everyone is invited. Put a word in my mouth
that I may pass the invitation on to others.
Let this be the word: to set the mind
on the Spirit is life and peace.
