lyrics

The joy of the wicked lasts but a moment
Though his pride reaches to the heavens
His head touches the clouds
He will be banished like a vision of the night

The heavens will expose his guilt
The Earth will rise up against him
Such is the fate from God
The heritage appointed

Why do you console me with nonsense
till there’s nothing left?
The heavens will expose his guilt

Look at me and clap your hand over your mouth
When I think of this I am terrified
trembling ceases my body
as I say, “why do the wicked live on?”
They grow old and increase in power and prosperity
He said I would lie in my grave in peace
I’ve no desire to know your ways

Are they like the straw swept away by the wind
like the chaff, by a gale?

Can anyone teach God anything?
