God of Jacob, the Lord our God -
May our souls praise You as long as we live for You are our help and our hope.
You are the maker of heaven and earth…the keeper of faith…the executioner of justice for the oppressed…the giver of food to the hungry.
You set prisoners free, open our blinded eyes, and lift up the bowed down.
Guardian of strangers and upholder of orphans and widows, we praise You.
Reigning forever…for all generations…may we trust in Your reign.
Amen.
