O Hope of Israel, its Savior in times of distress, do not be like a stranger in the land or like a traveler who stays only a night; but be always in the midst of your people: We bear your name, do not forsake us!

Indeed, let the LORD give what is good: Let righteousness go before him and prepare the way for his steps. Psalm 85:9-13(NIV)
