Hear the moans of the prisoners. Use your great power to save those sentenced to die.
He heard the moans of the prisoners, and he freed those sentenced to die.
The name of the Lord will be heard in Jerusalem; his praise will be heard there.
But the Lord says, “I will now rise up, because the poor are being hurt. Because of the moans of the helpless, I will give them the help they want.”
The Lord listens to those in need and does not look down on captives.
Lord, be kind to us. We have waited for your help. Give us strength every morning. Save us when we are in trouble.
You will help the blind to see. You will free those who are in prison, and you will lead those who live in darkness out of their prison.
And do not cause us to be tempted, but save us from the Evil One.’ [The kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours forever. Amen.]
With God’s power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine.
