1. This is my prayer:

2. I know your reputation, Lord,and I am amazedat what you have done.Please turn from your angerand be merciful;do for us what you didfor our ancestors.

3. You are the same Holy Godwho came from Temanand Paran to help us.The brightness of your glorycovered the heavens,and your praises were heardeverywhere on earth.

4. Your glory shone like the sun,and light flashed from your hands,hiding your mighty power.

5. Dreadful diseases and plaguesmarched in frontand followed behind.
