[Instrumental] [Verse] Now, our God, great, mighty, and awesome God, who preserves the covenant of mercy, do not discount all the hardship that has befallen us, Our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our ancestors, and your entire people, from the time of the kings of Assyria until this day! [Chorus] Today we are slaves! As for the land which you gave our ancestors That they might eat its fruits and good things— see, we have become slaves upon it! Its rich produce goes to the kings you set over us because of our sins, Who rule over our bodies and our cattle as they please. We are in great distress! [Instrumental] [Verse] In all that has come upon us you have been just, for you kept faith while we have done evil. Yes, our kings, our princes, our priests, and our ancestors have not kept your law; They paid no attention to your commandments and the warnings which you gave them. [Chorus] Today we are slaves! As for the land which you gave our ancestors That they might eat its fruits and good things— see, we have become slaves upon it! Its rich produce goes to the kings you set over us because of our sins, Who rule over our bodies and our cattle as they please. We are in great distress! [Instrumental] [Verse] While they were still in their kingdom, in the midst of the many good things that you had given them And in the wide, fertile land that you had spread out before them, They did not serve you nor turn away from their evil deeds. [Chorus] Today we are slaves! As for the land which you gave our ancestors That they might eat its fruits and good things— see, we have become slaves upon it! Its rich produce goes to the kings you set over us because of our sins, Who rule over our bodies and our cattle as they please. We are in great distress! [Instrumental] [End]
