A prayer for God’s people

Blessed are the people who know the festal shout, who walk, O LORD, in the light of your face, who exult in your name all the day and in your righteousness are exalted. For you are the glory of their strength. 1

Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you. In the cover of your presence you hide them from plots of men; you store them in your shelter from the strife of tongues. 2

May they be secure who love you! 3 Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. 4 Keep them in your name that they may be one. 5 Peace and mercy be upon them. 6

Let your work be shown to your servants, and your glorious power to their children. 7 Direct their hearts toward you. 8 May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, ”God is great!” 9 Let them ever sing for joy. 10

Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever. 11
