1. My protector is God against you if you oppress me
Though you have tortured my heart when you were harsh

2. And if this be out of spiteful malice
By God, O my hope, you have quenched my thirst

3. Your love has crept into my bones
And your passion has made me just as I desired

4. Had He who tested me with you willed
He would have hastened my relief from you with my death
