Lord God, you who raise up kings and cast down nations, deliver us from our troubles, that we would rejoice in your goodness and salvation and would live to praise you another day in peace and safety because of your love, through Christ our redeemer who reigns with you and the Holy Spirit over all things in glory, majesty, and wisdom forever. Amen.
‘O that deliverance for Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores the fortunes of his people, Jacob will rejoice; Israel will be glad.’ – Ps. 14:7
