In times of woe, when I'm distressed,
O YAH, incline Your ear to me.
My days like smoke are swift, compressed;
My bones, a firebrand's agony.
My heart is smitten, withered, dry;
Forgotten is my daily bread.
Like pelican and owl, I cry,
A sparrow on a rooftop, dread.
My foes reproach me through the day;
I've eaten ashes, tears I've drunk.
Your wrath has cast me far away;
My days, a shadow, have I shrunk.
But You, O YAH, forever reign;
Your name endures through every age.
Arise, have mercy on Siyyon's plain;
The time has come to turn the page.
Your servants love her stones and dust;
The nations soon will fear Your name.
In glory, YAH, You've shown Your trust;
You've heard the prayers of those in shame.
This song we write for future days,
When people yet unborn will sing.
From heaven's height, You set Your gaze
To free the captives, hope to bring.
In Siyyon, they'll declare Your praise;
When kingdoms gather in one voice.
Though now my strength fails in my ways,
Your endless years make me rejoice.
The earth and skies, Your hands have made;
They'll perish, change like garments old.
But You remain, Your glory stayed;
Your servants' seed You will uphold.
[Outro: repeat and fade]
Your faithful love, through ages long,
Endures beyond all earthly measure.
Our hearts, once weak, in You grow strong;
Your presence is our lasting treasure.
