A drove I snatched away that I may shepherd it
I drive off even the mares of fatherless boys
I seize the widows bull as a pledge
Turn aside the poor one from the way
Moving the boundary marks
Moving without ark in the day of the Lord
So the afflicted with ass have kept themselves hidden
As zebras in the wilderness that go looking for food
The desert plain gives to me bread for my daughter
And the vineyard the wicked one I hastily despoil
Musing in the dark
Moving without ark in the day of the Lord
Naked I pass the night without a garment
And without any covering in the cold
From the rainstorm the mountains I get drenched
'cause there's no shelter I have to hug a rock
Moving without ark
Mobile does not work in the day of the lord
I snatch away a fatherless boy from the breast
And what's on the afflicted one I take as a pledge
Naked I have to go 'bout without a garment
And hungry I have to carry the reaped ears
Musing in the dark
Moving without ark in the day of the lord
Between the terrace walls I pass the noontime
Winepresses I have to tread and yet I go thirsty
Out of the city the dying keep groaning
And the soul of deadly wounded one cries for help
Moving without ark
Mobile does not work in the day of the lord
He considers not as anything improper
As for me I'm among the rebels against the light
I did not recognise its ways
And I did not dwell in its roadways
Mobile does not work
Musing in the dark in the day of the lord
At daylights a murderer gets up
Proceeding to slay the afflicted and the poor
And during the night I become a regular thief
The eye of the adulterer has watched for evening darkness
Saying 'no eye will behold me' and over my face I put a covering
In the darkness I have dug into houses
And there I must keep myself locked in
I have not known daylight
The morning is the same as deep shadow for me
Moving without ark
Mobile does not work in the day of the lord
I recognise what sudden terrors of deep shadow are
I'm swift on the surface of the waters
My tract of land will be cursed in the earth
I will not turn toward the way of the vineyards
Moving without ark
Mobile does not work in the day of the lord
The drought, and the heat, snatch away the snow waters
So does Sheol those who have sinned
The womb will forget me
The maggot will sweetly suck me I will remember no more
Moving without ark
Mobile does not work in the day of the lord
Unrighteous will be broken just like a tree
I'm having dealings with a barren woman who does not bear
And I'm having dealings with a widow to whom I do no good
He'll certainly draw away strong people by his power
Moving without ark
Mobile does not work in the day of the lord
I'll rise up and not be sure my life
She'll grant me to 'come confident that I may support myself
And his eyes will be upon my ways
I become high up a little while then I am no more
Moving without ark
Musing in the dark in the day of the lord
And if brought low like everyone else I am plucked off
Like a head of an ear of grain I'm cut off
Mobile does not work in the day of lord
Mobile does not work in the day of lord
Musing in the dark
Moving without ark in the day of the Lord
