O Lord our God –
Draw us up from the Pit and heal us. Bring up our souls from Sheol and restore us to life.
When our weeping lingers for the night, remind us that joy comes with the morning. When we cry to You, hear our supplication.
Turn our mourning into dancing. Remove our sackcloths and clothe us with joy.
In this movement from mourning to dancing, may our souls praise You and not be silent. May our souls give thanks to You forever.
Amen.
