Lord, where are your earlier mercies? where is the oath which you made to David in unchanging faith?

Has he by whom your ears were planted no hearing? or is he blind by whom your eyes were formed?

Why may the nations say, Where is now their God?

The Lord is far from sinners, but his ear is open to the prayer of the upright.

The man whose ear is open to the teaching of life will have his place among the wise.

Most men make no secret of their kind acts: but where is a man of good faith to be seen?

Let your eyes be looking down from heaven, from your holy and beautiful house: where is your deep feeling, the working of your power? do not keep back the moving of your pity and your mercies:

What is your desire? is my coming to be with punishment, or is it to be in love and a gentle spirit?

Or is a thief, or the worse for drink, or makes use of strong language, or takes by force what is not his, will have any part in the kingdom of God.

What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.
