The Divine Vindicator.
The way of the just is smooth;
the path of the just you make level.
Yes, for your way and your judgments,
O, Lord,
we look to you;
Your name and your title
are the desire of our souls.
My soul yearns for you in the night,
yes, my spirit within me keeps
vigil for you;
When your judgment dawns upon the earth,
the world's inhabitants learn justice.
O Lord, you mete out peace to us,
for it is you who have accomplished all we have done.
O Lord, oppressed by your punishment,
we cried out in anguish under your chastising.
As a woman about to give birth
writhes and cries out in her pains,
so were we in your presence, O Lord.
We conceived and writhed in pain,
giving birth to wind;
Salvation we have not achieved for the earth,
the inhabitants of the world cannot bring it forth.
But your dead shall live, their corpses shall rise;
awake and sing, you who lie in the dust.
For your dew is a dew of light,
and the land of shades gives birth.
