Deliver Us From Hostility - Psalm 140 - Leslie Brandt

"O God, deliver our nation and our world
from those men in positions of authority
who resort to violence
to carry out their objectives.
They sweet-talk us into believing

and brainwash us into blind,

until we march by their side
into bloody wars that decimate and destroy
our brothers and sisters
in the family of man.

Deliver all of us, O Lord,
from the notion that anything of value or worth
can be obtained by hostile or violent actions." 


- Leslie Brandt, "Psalms Now"
