You took your poor brother’s bread
and you let the hungry starve
You turned away the widow
You broke the orphan’s arms
(Can a wise man be of use to God?)
Your sins are endless!
So the fear surrounds you
and a sudden dread comes
And the darkness you can’t see
the waters cover you
Isn’t a God above in heaven?
Look at the stars and see how high they are!
You say what can God see
when He’s hiding in the clouds?
So give up and give in
Make your peace with Him
Set His words in your heart
and your gold in the dust
Let Almighty be your gold
and He will hear you when you pray
He’ll shine a light on all your ways
and when you lift your face
when they cast you down
you’ll say, “the Humble He will save”
And the guilty man will find deliverance
in the innocence of your hand
If only I knew where to find Him
if I could go to His seat
I would state my case
and fill my mouth with arguments
What would He say?
Would He oppose me
or hear me out?
that the upright man would be
delivered from his Judge
I look ahead, but He is not there
So I look back, but I do not find Him
He works on my left, I cannot see Him
He turns on my right, but I am blind
He knows the way that I go
and when He’s tried me I know
I’ll come forth as gold
My foot has held to His path
I have not turned aside
I have treasured the words of His mouth
more than necessary food
Some take their poor brother’s pledge
(What his soul desires he does)
And they turn away the widow
(The darkness will not silence me)
And they let the hungry starve in the cold
His shelter is a stone in the rain, with no clothes
From the city hear the groans
of the wounded souls
that God doesn’t hear
The adulterer waits till twilight
He says, “no one will see me”
for he’s covered up his face
The Earth consumes the snow
like the grave does those who’ve sinned
His mother forgets him
while the worm so sweetly feeds
He’s exalted for a little while
then he’s cut off like the heads of grain
