May the gentle strength of this piece quiet and center your hearts as you worship and pray through this time of commoration, and through days of threats of war and increasing violence. May we remember all those who are innocent victims of violence in our world, and may we pray for those who believe that violent means will offer solution to conflict..

May we all be nurtured through praying and singing this psalm to be people of God's peace.
