Spoken prayer translation:
You are eternally powerful, my Master.
You resurrect the dead and are
fully able to save.
You cause the wind to blow and send
down the rain.
With devoted love you sustain
those who are living; with deep
compassion you resurrect the
dead. You uphold those who fall,
heal the sick, set captives free, and
maintain faithfulness to those who
sleep in the dust.
Who is like you, capable of powerful
deeds, and who can compare with
you? You are a King who causes
death and resurrects, and you
make salvation sprout forth!
You are faithful to resurrect the dead.
Blessed are you O LORD, who
resurrects the dead
