1 "They've kicked me around ever since I was young" - this is how Israel tells it -

2 "They've kicked me around ever since I was young, but they never could keep me down.

3 Their plowmen plowed long furrows up and down my back;

4 Then God ripped the harnesses of the evil plowmen to shreds."

5 Oh, let all those who hate Zion grovel in humiliation;

6 Let them be like grass in shallow ground that withers before the harvest,

7 Before the farmhands can gather it in, the harvesters get in the crop,

8 Before the neighbors have a chance to call out, "Congratulations on your wonderful crop! We bless you in God's name!"

1 Help, God - the bottom has fallen out of my life! Master, hear my cry for help!

2 Listen hard! Open your ears! Listen to my cries for mercy.

3 If you, God, kept records on wrongdoings, who would stand a chance?

4 As it turns out, forgiveness is your habit, and that's why you're worshiped.

5 I pray to God - my life a prayer - and wait for what he'll say and do.

6 My life's on the line before God, my Lord, waiting and watching till morning, waiting and watching till morning.

7 O Israel, wait and watch for God - with God's arrival comes love, with God's arrival comes generous redemption.

8 No doubt about it - he'll redeem Israel, buy back Israel from captivity to sin.

1 God, I'm not trying to rule the roost, I don't want to be king of the mountain. I haven't meddled where I have no business or fantasized grandiose plans.

2 I've kept my feet on the ground, I've cultivated a quiet heart. Like a baby content in its mother's arms, my soul is a baby content.

3 Wait, Israel, for God. Wait with hope. Hope now; hope always!
