1. When a servant despairs of God, having seen
Blessings bestowed on the unfaithful,

2. Despite his complaints, God knows his affairs well,
And God does no injustice in His intentions for His servant.

3. When customs veil understanding, their rule
Flows unchecked though truth stays hidden.

4. So God punishes him with a lonely grave
In foreign lands, day and night, while the Almighty conceals him.
