[Lament] Woe is me, the summer fruit is gone, No cluster waits, no first ripe fig at dawn. The faithful have vanished out of the land, Each brother hunts with a net in his hand. [Verse I] The prince asks payment, the judge names a price, The great man speaks desire and they weave it as right. The best is a briar, the straightest a thorn, The watchman's day rises and order is torn. [Household Refrain] Trust not a friend when truth has grown thin, Guard the mouth even near to your kin. Son against father, daughter against mother, A household's enemies rise from one another. [Turn] But I will look to the LORD in the night, I will wait for the God who hears when I cry. Do not rejoice when I fall in the dust; When I sit in darkness, the LORD is my light. [Chorus] Who is a God like unto thee, Pardoning guilt, delighting in mercy? Anger does not remain forever; Covenant love outlives the weather. Who is a God like unto thee, Casting our sins to the depths of the sea? [Verse II] I bear the indignation because I have sinned, Until he pleads the cause and brings justice again. My enemy sees and is covered with shame, The walls will be raised, the boundaries change. [Bridge] Nations come trembling from fortress and field, They lay hands on mouths when their boasting is stilled. Shepherd your people in Bashan again, Show wonders as once in the land out of Egypt. [Final Chorus] Who is a God like unto thee, Subduing iniquity, setting captives free? Mercy to Abraham, truth unto Jacob, The oath to the fathers remembered in love. Who is a God like unto thee, Casting our sins to the depths of the sea? [Outro] Darkness was not the ending; Mercy kept the promise.
