(Psalm 111:7– Hebrew)

The works of your hands are faithfulness and justice, O Lord;
you work in truth and with equity, O Lord.

Your right hand rules with your gospel and grace for us, O Lord;
and your left hand, our good governance, O Lord.

What shall I say when I reach out my hands for yours, O Lord?
Your hand will catch me and I will pray: O Lord!

My Lord and my God: O Lord, I will pray, O Lord.
