Читать книгу A Carolina Psalter - Tony Scully - Страница 28

1 God answer thee in the day of trouble;The name of the God of Jacob set thee up on high;2 Send thee help from the sanctuary,And strengthen thee out of Zion;3 Remember all thy offerings,And accept thy burnt-sacrifice; 4 Grant thee thy heart’s desire,And fulfil all thy counsel.5 We will triumph in thy salvation,And in the name of our God we will set up our banners:God fulfil all thy petitions.6 Now know I that God saveth his anointed;He will answer him from his holy heaven With the saving strength of his right hand.7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses;But we will make mention of the name of God our God.8 They are bowed down and fallen;But we are risen, and stand upright.9 Save, God:Let the King answer us when we call.

Will troubles come again?

Will cannons boom in the capitals

Return us to misery

And destroy the families

We have come to love?

Our prayers rise to heaven

With the cries of the wounded

Evaporating in the upper air

The North invades

What more to say?

We are not rescued

And no longer honored

No longer anointed

We cry out and no one hears

We lament and no one mourns

We are fallen

Who will hear us?

Who will rescue us?
