Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, Who keeps faith forever; who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free; the LORD opens the eyes of the blind. The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous. The LORD watches over the sojourners; He upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked He brings to ruin.
You are to be praised, my Lord and my Master. Your hand is overall and all speak of Your hand. It is Your hand that creates, Your hand that heals, Your hand that provides. Yours is the hand of justice and righteousness, the hand of mercy, grace and love, the hand of restoration and transformation, the hand of truth and freedom. Your Hand is the Hand of the Almighty God, the hand to be feared and revered. Praise You, my Lord and my Master.
