Do we hear?
Have we forgotten the Lord, our Maker? The One who comforts the afflicted and brings justice to His people?
Let us pay attention and give ear, those who seek the righteousness of the Lord. Let us look to the rock from which we were hewn.
For He is the One that brings forth joyful shouting and everlasting joy; who brings us to obtain gladness and joy.
He grants the garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, a mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting.
He is the Lord, our Savior, and our Redeemer.
Lord, grant us ears to hear.
