Let all that is within me bless the goal.
Bless the truth, O my soul.

Respect that which is benign for life.
Don't forget that love relieves strife.

Respect intelligence by design.
Don't forget what you find by faith in the divine.

There is forgiveness for error.
There is relief from that which causes terror.

There is healing from infirmities.
There is the unity in diversity.

There is redemption from fear of the grave.
The attitude of gratitude crowns our hearts for what saves.

Mercy illumines our hearts and minds.
Law binds that which would otherwise despise what investigation finds.

There is satisfaction for good things.
Your youth rises high like the wind beneath eagle wings.

Judgement will be for education, the disabled and defense.
The poor will rise without crime for what makes sense.

Spending will be for national and social security.
Balance will be found with seasoned maturity.

Goodness is defined by meeting basic needs.
Each household heeds what it takes to feed.

Law is against cruelty or violence.
It is for justice that breaks the silence.

Accusation must be preceded by cause.
Investigation has to be done to find truth without flaws.

Conviction yields only to proof in the body of evidence.
Certainty finds substance beyond mere coincidence.

Punishment will confine for a time or charge with a fine
but life in prison is the limit for capital crime.

We have been drawn from the water of tidal surge.
We are learning from the verge of the urge to emerge
from the purge.

There has been compassion for mercy in survival.
The arrival of strength from the rival was vital.

Anger was a prelude to kindness.
The timeless mind sought to find us in life's likeness.

Respect that which is benign for life.
Don't forget that love relieves strife.

Don't forget what you find by faith in the divine.
Respect intelligence by design.

Let all that is within me bless the goal.
Bless the truth, O my soul.


103 Benedic, anima mea

1 Bless the Lord, O my soul, *
and all that is within me, bless his holy Name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul, *
and forget not all his benefits.
3 He forgives all your sins *
and heals all your infirmities;
4 He redeems your life from the grave *
and crowns you with mercy and loving-kindness;
5 He satisfies you with good things, *
and your youth is renewed like an eagle's.
6 The Lord executes righteousness *
and judgment for all who are oppressed.
7 He made his ways known to Moses *
and his works to the children of Israel.
8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, *
slow to anger and of great kindness.
9 He will not always accuse us, *
nor will he keep his anger for ever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, *
nor rewarded us according to our wickedness.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, *
so is his mercy great upon those who fear him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, *
so far has he removed our sins from us.
13 As a father cares for his children, *
so does the Lord care for those who fear him.
14 For he himself knows whereof we are made; *
he remembers that we are but dust.
15 Our days are like the grass; *
we flourish like a flower of the field;
16 When the wind goes over it, it is gone, *
and its place shall know it no more.
17 But the merciful goodness of the Lord endures for ever
on those who fear him, *
and his righteousness on children's children;
18 On those who keep his covenant *
and remember his commandments and do them.
19 The Lord has set his throne in heaven, *
and his kingship has dominion over all.
20 Bless the Lord, you angels of his,
you mighty ones who do his bidding, *
and hearken to the voice of his word.
21 Bless the Lord, all you his hosts, *
you ministers of his who do his will.
22 Bless the Lord, all you works of his,
in all places of his dominion; *
bless the Lord, O my soul.
