Almighty God, source of justice beyond human knowledge: We
thank you for inspiring Karl Barth to resist tyranny and exalt your saving
grace, without which we cannot apprehend your will. Teach us, like him, to live
by faith, and even in chaotic and perilous times to perceive the light of your
eternal glory, Jesus Christ our Redeemer; who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, ever one God, throughout all ages. Amen.
7 But you, you are to be feared!
Who can stand
before you
when once your
anger is roused?
8 From the heavens you uttered judgment;
the earth feared
and was still,
9 when God arose to establish judgment,
to save all the
humble of the earth. Selah
10 Surely the wrath of man shall praise you;
the remnant[a] of
wrath you will put on like a belt.
11 Make your vows to the Lord your God and perform them;
let all around him
bring gifts
to him who is to
be feared,
12 who cuts off the spirit of princes,
who is to be
feared by the kings of the earth.
