There is an interesting passage in the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Joseph speaking to God

"Execute judgement for me so that the humble and poor do not perish. Thou hast no need for any nation or people to help Thee. Thy finger is greater and more powerful than anything in the world. For thou optest for truth, and in thy hand there is no violence whatsoever. Also thy mercies are many and thy lovingkindness is great for all those who seek thee."
