The Mighty One, God our Lord,

Speaks and summons upon the earth;

For being worshipped and adored,

As the new day has brought new birth.

From the rising to the setting,

As the sun is shining so bright;

We tend to be so forgetting,

Of our God being pure light.

Our God shall not keep silence,

Before Him fire devours;

From the turmoil and violence,

That has eaten up the hours.

He calls on Heaven up above,

That He may judge those of this place;

For despicable acts thereof,

Making here a complete disgrace.

Gather up all the faithful ones,

Who is keeping His covenant;

Not to be with someone that shuns,

That God regards incompetent.

Hear O people for God will speak,

Against you He will testify;

He already knows what you seek,

And no way that you can deny.

Your sacrifices He lambasts,

Sincerity not in your prayer;

For only your fate it forecasts,

Total garbage is what you share.

He will not accept from your house,

Of the sheep and goats from your fold;

Because you cheated on your spouse,

And so that is why He must scold.

All are His of the birds and beast,

Through the wilderness and the fields;

Sets on your table for the feast,

And from the harvest from what yields.

Giving of thanks for what you got,

As well as praying of trouble;

Glorify with what you have sought,

He will rescue you from rubble.
