A Benediction

22 And now bless the God of all,
    who everywhere works great wonders,
who fosters our growth from birth,
    and deals with us according to his mercy.
23 May he give us[a] gladness of heart,
    and may there be peace in our[b] days
    in Israel, as in the days of old.
24 May he entrust to us his mercy,
    and may he deliver us in our[c] days!
