Psalm 35

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!
