<p class="poetry">And when he is carried to the tombs,p> <p class="poetry">and watch is kept<n id="1" /> over the funeral mound,<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">The fatherless child is snatched<n id="1" /> from the breast,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">the infant of the poor is taken as a pledge.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">But if God<n id="1" /> is quiet, who can condemn<n id="2" /> him?p> <p class="poetry">If he hides his face, then who can see him?p> <p class="poetry">Yet<n id="3" /> he is over the individual and the nation alike,<n id="4" />p>

<t /><p class="poetry">&#8220;Now then, be good enough to look<n id="1" /> at me;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and I will not<n id="3" /> lie to your face!p>

<p class="poetry">He is a well-watered plant<n id="1" /> in<n id="2" /> the sun,p> <p class="poetry">its shoots spread<n id="3" /> over its garden.<n id="4" />p>

<p class="poetry">God abandons me to evil<n id="1" /> men,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and throws<n id="3" /> me into the hands of wicked men.p>

<p class="poetry">my face is reddened<n id="1" /> because of weeping,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">and on my eyelids there is a deep darkness,<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">For he has been thrown into a net by his feet<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and he wanders into a mesh.<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">He has blocked<n id="1" /> my way so I cannot pass,p> <p class="poetry">and has set darkness<n id="2" /> over my paths.p>

<p class="poetry">Whatever you decide<n id="1" /> on a matter,p> <p class="poetry">it will be established for you,p> <p class="poetry">and light will shine on your ways.p>

<p class="poetry">Can his armies be numbered?<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">On whom does his light<n id="2" /> not rise?p>

<p class="poetry">For she leaves<n id="1" /> her eggs on the ground,p> <p class="poetry">and lets them be warmed on the soil.p>

<p class="poetry">Is it good for you<n id="1" /> to oppress,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">to<n id="3" /> despise the work of your hands,p> <p class="poetry">while<n id="4" /> you smile<n id="5" />p> <p class="poetry">on the schemes of the wicked?p>

<p class="poetry">If my heart has been enticed by a woman,p> <p class="poetry">and I have lain in wait at my neighbor&#8217;s door,<n id="1" />p>
