Inspired by Psalm 138

For your unfailing love and your faithfulness,

surpasses even your fame.

When we call, you answer;

We feel courage and boldness growing within us.

To the exalted One who looks with kindness on those who are low;

To the One who sees them from afar.

Though we walk right into trouble,

you save us.

You stretch out your strong hand against anger, and set ups and traps;

with your right hand you save us.

To the God who rescues when our cry is heard

We say

your love, Lord, endures forever—

You will never abandon the works of your hands.

And we are the work of your hands.

Remember us.      Walk among us.      Restore us.

Amen.
