Latter-Day Psalms
"The Fiend is risen against you, is risen against you! Shall the holy place of the Lord God be defiled?
For the land that bred you is the holy place of God; but the land also of the enemy is holy land."
We will not defile the holy lands with blood, and lay before God an offering of destruction.
"Arise! And overthrow the oppressor, who marshals your brethren against you to make you slaves."
The oppressor also marshals us. We will not help him to enslave.
"Rise up, ye young men of all the nations and learn war, that ye may overthrow the oppressor from all his dominion!
The Lord God commands you to war, that the flame of your spirit may be kindled, that ye may feel God.
For the shrine of the Most High is defiled in you, and he will purge it with war.
Therefore put off the habit of peace, and throw away self, and set aside your heart's desire.
For the land that bred you is the holy place of God; but the land also of the enemy is holy land."
We will not defile the holy lands with blood, and lay before God an offering of destruction.
"Arise! And overthrow the oppressor, who marshals your brethren against you to make you slaves."
The oppressor also marshals us. We will not help him to enslave.
"Rise up, ye young men of all the nations and learn war, that ye may overthrow the oppressor from all his dominion!
The Lord God commands you to war, that the flame of your spirit may be kindled, that ye may feel God.
For the shrine of the Most High is defiled in you, and he will purge it with war.
Therefore put off the habit of peace, and throw away self, and set aside your heart's desire.
