Psalm 71:1-6

With you, G*D, I claim sanctuary; 

     help me not allow shame to run my life.

With your presence dance me to the moon; 

     let’s whisper sweetness in each other’s ears until we are strong.

Our partnership grounds our common work;

     in turn we are a refuge for many.

Together we loose the grip of the greedy, and

     open the manacles of the mean.

This work brings further hope and trust

     out of tenuous beginnings and fragile ends.

From womb to tomb we push each other onward;

     in such is praise revealed.
