Oh praise the Lord for He is good; let all in heaven above and all the saints on
earth proclaim His everlasting love. In my distress I called on God; in grace He answered me,
removed my bonds, enlarged my place, from trouble set me free!

Lord, May that be said
of Jews as well as Gentiles! For only you know the heart of men, I pray that you would give
each of us the boldness to proclaim to the world that the joy that you give runs deeper than
despair!

AMEN
