Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
We bless you from the house of the Lord.
The Lord is God,
and he has made his light to shine upon us.
Bind the festal sacrifice with cords,
up to the horns of the altar!
You are my God, and I will give thanks to you;We pray for your mercy to be upon us as we seek you in faith. Amen.
you are my God; I will extol you.
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever! (Psalm 118:26-29)

Render true judgments,Would you empower us by your Spirit to show mercy just as the Samaritan did on the road to Jericho. Your Word tells us that those who show mercy will be shown mercy.

and let none of you devise evil against another in your heart. (Zechariah 7:8-10)
