A Song of Judith

Judith 16:13-16

I will sing a new song to my God, *for you are great and glorious, wonderful in strength, invincible.

Let the whole creation serve you, *for you spoke and all things came into being.

You sent your breath and it formed them, *no one is able to resist your voice.

Mountains and seas are stirred to their depths, *rocks melt like wax at your presence.

But to those who fear you, *you continue to show mercy.

No sacrifice, however fragrant, can please you, *but whoever fears the Lord shall stand in your sight for ever.
