For the Leader of David
As the benighted man thinks within
G-D doesn’t care what chagrin
As the Lord looks down from heaven on mankind
To find a man of understanding with the Lord intertwined
All have turned bad altogether foul
Not even one can but at each other just growl
Are they so witless all those evildoers so lewd
Who devour my people as they devour food
And never a thought to invoke the Lord
What an evil horde
There they will be seized with freight
For G-d is present in those in the light
You may set at naught the counsel of the lowly
But the Lord is his refuge as he is wholly
O that the deliverance of Israel might come from Zion
When the Lord restores the fortunes of His scions
Jacob will exult, As Israel rejoices
As the world will finally see their true choices
