The Wolf Is Saying

The Wolf Is Saying

You breached all his fences 

You made his fortifications a ruin  

For every matter of iniquity

For the ox, the donkey, the lamb, the garment 

For every lost item which he says, "This is it," 

The matter of both of them 

Shall come before the judge

To bind up his princes with his soul 

And he made his elders wise

He who the judge finds guilty 

Shall pay double to the other

A song of ascents about Solomon

For You have girded me with strength for the battle 

You have subdued under me those that rose up against me 

If the Lord will not guard a city  [Its] watcher keeps his vigil in vain

It came about that on the seventh day 

The people went out to gather, but they did not find 

It is futile for you who arise early 

Who sit late, who eat the bread of toil 

The Lord said to Moses, How long will you refuse 

To observe My commandments and My teachings? 

The wisest of her princesses answer her 

She too returns answers to herself

For I raise up My hand to heaven 

And say, 'As I live forever.’ 

Israel came to Egypt and Jacob 

Sojourned in the land of Ham

He made him the master of his household

And the ruler over all his possessions

So will the Lord give to one
Who banishes sleep from himself

Now the sons of Eli were base men 

They knew not the Lord  

If the Lord will not build a house  Its builders have toiled at it in vain
