1. You shot your arrows but did not wound me
Arrows missed me so I was not harmed

2. You tried to distract me but I stayed steadfast
By God's grace not scattered and divided

3. When I saw you had no affection
I retreated, crying for our lost affection

4. Today you give me only harm
While I give you only pure disdain

5. How many faults of yours I did not repay
To maintain you despite your faults

6. A man who shows vice to his people
Is like one diseased or one dead
