Goldman Sachs Doing God's Work

Ever since Lloyd Blankfein's interview with a British paper describing his work as that of "God's", sarcastic reactions came from all quarters. I posted NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd's piece earlier. Now on Mish's well-known economics blog, we are given 2 versions of "Lloyd's Prayer": -

My [Mish's] Version of "Lloyd's Prayer"

Our chairman who art at Goldman
Blankfein be thy name
Thy rally’s come, God’s work be done
In the Dow as it is in the Nasdaq
Give us this day our daily gain
And forgive us our frontruning, as we punish those who frontrun against us
And bring us not under indictment
But deliver us from regulators
For thine is the cashflow, and the power, and the bonuses, forever and ever. Amen

Anon Version Sent to Mish

OUR CHAIRMAN
WHO ART AT GOLDMAN
HALLOWED BE THY NAME

THE RALLYS COME,GODS WORK BE DONE
WE HAVE NO FEAR OF CORRECTION
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY GAIN
AND BANKRUPT OUR NEAREST COMPETITORS
LEAVING NO ONE LEFT TO STAND AGAINST US
AND BRING US NOT UNDER INDICTMENT

FOR THINE IS THE TREASURY
AND THE HOUSE AND THE SENATE
FOREVER AND EVER
GOLDMAN
