O Lord, how long more must I wait in anguish?
\nFor your vindication I languish.<\/p>\n
I am tormented day and night in her presence;
\nProvoked by her cutting words, her angry soul.<\/p>\n
My spirit defeated, my heart sorrowed,
\nMy soul so empty, I cry to you in vain.<\/p>\n
Please let your eye never leave me,
\nFor her scorn shoots like arrows when I least expect them.<\/p>\n
Please protect me under your armour,
\nFor you are my fortress that never falls.<\/p>\n
I turned on my family to follow you,
\nA high price I could never have prepared for.<\/p>\n
In hurt they excluded me, outcasted
\nFor what they perceive as a grave defiant sin.<\/p>\n
Banish the blindness from their eyes!
\nMelt their hearts of stone!<\/p>\n
You have preserved me in my pain.
\nMy cries are not in vain.<\/p>\n
When I can\u2019t feel you, still I\u2019ll sing,
\nFor to your wondrous cross I\u2019ll cling.<\/p>\n
