Psalms for Praying
Nan C. Merrill
Yes, O Compassionate One, let truth
and love overcome ignorance,
according to your goodness;
that all might rejoice and give thanks!
Foolish are those who think that persecution
will bring them joy;
Nor will destruction bring them peace.
Let those who rejoice in another's misfortune,
in their shame become contrite.
Let them be humbled and turn their hearts
to You, O Beloved,
all those who know not Love!
May all who offer their lives to peace
shout for joy and be glad,
and always pray,
"Great are You, O Love,
Who dwell in all open hearts!"
Then shall I sing of your saving justice
and praise You all day long!
