Help us with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us.
O God, you have rejected us and broken our defenses;
you have been angry; rally us!
Help us with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us.
You have rocked the country and split it open;
repair the cracks in it, for it is tottering.
You have made your people feel hardships;
you have given us stupefying wine.
Help us with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us.
Have not you, O God, rejected us,
so that you go not forth, O God, with our armies?
Give us aid against the foe,
for worthless is the help of men.
Help us with your right hand, O Lord, and answer us.

Deborah,
Terrific preaching! So creative, well constructed and right to the moment!
As a “rightee” you opened my eyes to God’s left hand! Thanks.

Thank you! As a near-sighted, clumsy, left-handed person (trifecta of bumbling), I just find the whole idea really intriguing–and challenging. It’s one that keeps interrogating my image of God.
Peace,
Deborah
