Latter-Day Psalms
Thou hast set thy precept in his heart, and if he err therefrom he shall die.
Thou hast given to one strength to keep thy commandment, and to another thou hast ordained sin.
To the one thou hast awarded peace even in sorrow. For the other thou hast set a fiery hell in his heart to torment him.
O God, we cannot understand thy government. Thy justice is not ours.
But what thou wilt, that is just. O God, conform our will to thine.
