60:1 Thou hast made manifest the everlasting constitution of the world by the
things that happen. Thou, Lord, who art faithful in all generations, hast
founded the world; thou who art just in thy judgments, who art wonderful in
strength and greatness; thou who art wise in creating and prudent in
establishing the things that are made; thou that art good in the things that are
seen and faithful among them that trust upon thee, merciful and compassionate,
forgive us our transgressions and unrighteousnesses, our sins and our
negligences.
60:2 Take not into account every sin of thy servants and handmaids, but
purify us with the purification of thy truth, and make straight our steps in
holiness and righteousness and singleness of heart, that we may so walk and do
such things as are right and well pleasing before thee, and before our rulers.
60:3 Yea, Lord, cause thy face to appear to us in peace to our good, that we
may be sheltered by thy mighty hand, and preserved from all sin by thy lofty
arm, and deliver us from those that hate us unjustly.
60:4 Give unity and peace both to us and to all that dwell upon the earth, as
thou gavest to our fathers when they called upon thee with faith and truth, so
that we should become obedient to thy all-powerful and most excellent name, and
to those who rule and govern us upon the earth.
