And have not from His ways departed.
Pride is their necklace, and they dare Make violence the robe they wear.
Their hearts with follies overflow, And in their minds illusions grow. Their mouth lays claim to heaven's regions, Their tongue demands the earth's allegiance. And they can find no fault in them. Surely in vain I've been purehearted And have not from God's laws departed, And I in vain have washed my hands In purity and innocence. For all day long I suffer here, And with new grief each dawn draws near.
