Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth;
break forth, O mountains, into singing!
For the Lord has comforted his people,
and will have compassion on his suffering ones.
When, O Lord
will your people know
your comfort and compassion?
When will there be singing?
Your suffering ones
cry to you
day and night
and still their onslaught
is relentless.
How can we lift our eyes?
How might we make a difference?
What will it take
to change our lives enough
that the difference will show up
in the lives of those
who are oppressed
those who struggle
under the weight
of poverty
and famine
and war.
The suffering ones-
May our compassion
that mirrors yours
bring comfort
and singing
Show us how, O God.
