COME DIVINE

A prayer based upon Psalm 10

We call upon the Divine to be known among us, once again

May the persecution of the poor cease

May the balance in favor of the greedy move the other way

and prosperity come once again to the oppressed

May deceitful words be stopped and truth be spoken

so that hearts are once again moved

May the lurkers and those who prey on the innocent be exposed

Come, Divine, come to our aid

May no one say, “Where is the Divine these days?”

May the Divine notice

those who are helpless

struggling nations

perishing land

the cries of the humble

the fatherless

those who are oppressed

And, may these be no more
