Page 41 - Your Extravagant Kindness

But you, my Guardian,

do not stay far off;
my Strength, hasten to my aid.

Save me from the sword; my precious life

from these powerful dogs.

Deliver me from destruction;

rescue me so that I am not ripped apart;
and I will proclaim your glory to my people;
praise you in the assembly.

You who revere the Holy One, praise Godde!
All you descendants of Jacob, honour Godde!

Venerate the Eternal, all you heirs of Israel!

For Godde did not scorn,
Godde did not despise, the plight of the afflicted.

Godde's face is not hidden,
Godde has listened to this cry for help.

You inspire my praise in the great assembly;
I fulfill my vows in the presence of those who revere you.

Let the lowly eat and be satisfied;
let all who seek the Holy One praise Godde –

and be of good cheer!

Let all the ends of the earth

remember and turn to the Eternal –
All the people of all nations
bow down before Godde –
the Holy One, the Sovereign

who rules the nations.
