Justice shall flourish in God’s time, and fulness of peace forever

Give the king your justice, O God,
and your righteousness to a king’s son.
May he judge your people with righteousness,
and your poor with justice.

Justice shall flourish in God’s time, and fulness of peace forever

   For he delivers the needy when they call,
the poor and those who have no helper.
He has pity on the weak and the needy,
and saves the lives of the needy.

Justice shall flourish in God’s time, and fulness of peace forever

   Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
who alone does wondrous things.
Blessed be his glorious name forever;
may his glory fill the whole earth.
Amen and Amen.

Justice shall flourish in God’s time, and fulness of peace forever
