O God turn Your ear to me Hear my prayer, don't ignore my plea Pay attention to me, reply Answer me when I moan and cry Because of the voice of my enemy On account of those who act wickedly For they oppress and accuse me Of evil, they hate me passionately My heart is shuddering inside Afraid of death I'm terrified Fear and trembling enter my core And I've become overwhelmed with horror I said, "If I had wings I'd love To fly away and just rest like a dove Behold, I'd travel, wander afar Stay somewhere way out BaMidbar I'd quickly find a place to hide From the raging winds of the storm outside Yeah, I'd quickly find a place to hide From the raging winds of the storm outside (Pada V'Shalom...) Consume them Lord, let their tongues be confused For I've seen in the city the violence they do Day and night they circle around Doing evil inside the walls of our town Treachery and deception are there Deceit never leaves the public square For its not my foe who brings me disgrace I could endure it if that were the case If it was my enemy who magnified Himself against me, I could just go hide But its you, a man of my measure, my guide My chief advisor on whom I relied You and me used to walk excitedly Telling sweet secrets in God's sanctuary May he send death upon them, may They all descend alive to the grave For they have wickedness and sin Inside their bones, its deep within But as for me, to God I call And The Lord will save me from them all Evening, morning, at mid-day I moan and groan and He hears me pray Said, evening, morning, at mid-day I moan and groan and He hears me pray (Pada V'Shalom...) from war He redeemed my soul in peace Even as my many enemies increase God, whose enthroned from days of old Will humble them, He will bring them low Selah, He'l hear that they have no fear Of God, and that won't change, its clear Against those at peace with him he sent His hands violated his covenant His mouth was talking smooth as butter But war was in his heart when he uttered Words that were as soft as oil They were just a trap ready to recoil Lay your load on The Lord, He'll keep you strong He won't make the righteous shake for long But violent men with deceitful ways Will not live out even half their days O God you'll lower them in the end To the well of destruction they will descend But as for me I trust in You Lord, as for me I trust in You (Anshei Damim...)
