"O YAHWEH, hear my prayer; let my cry for help come to YOU.
Do not hide YOUR face from me when I am in trouble. Turn YOUR ear to me; make haste to answer me when I call.
O YAHWEH, the nations will revere YOUR name, and the kings of the earth YOUR glory,
when YAHWEH will rebuild Zion and appear in all HIS splendor.
For HE will answer the prayer of the needy and will not despise their plea.
Let this be written for future ages, 'YAHWEH will be praised by a people HE will form.'
From HIS holy height in heaven, YAHWEH has looked on the earth to hear the groaning of the prisoners, and free those condemned to death."
- Psalm 102:2-3. 16-18. 19-21
(In the face of social chaos and a premature death, we can pray with this psalm, ratifying our hope: 'YOUR servants' children will dwell secure.')
