How Long

There is a generation, it's pure in its own eyes

Yet it hasn't been washed from its own filth

There is a generation, whose teeth are swords and knives

They devour the oppressed, they remove the needy from the earth

How long, how long, O Lord, must I cry to You about violence

Why do You, why do You force me to look upon injustice all day long

And why do You tolerate wrongdoing, Lord

Oppression, violence, conflicts escalate

I cry out to You: How long till You save

There is a nation, terrifying and fierce

They march and seize territories not their own

There is a nation, flying like an eagle

They believe sovereignty and justice stem from themselves

How long, how long, O Lord, must I cry to You about violence

Why do You, why do You force me to look upon injustice all day long

And Why do You tolerate wrongdoing, Lord

Oppression, violence, conflicts escalate

I cry out to You: How long till You save

All of them do violence, they sweep through the land like the wind

All of them do violence, and their god is their strength

God from everlasting, too pure to approve wickedness

O God from everlasting, how long until You save

My consolation is that our present sufferings

Aren't worth comparing to the glory to come

My consolation - our holy God sees everything

God of impartiality whose judgments are always just

How long, how long, O Lord, must I cry to You about violence

Why do You, why do You force me to look upon injustice all day long

And why do You tolerate wrongdoing, Lord

Oppression, violence, conflicts escalate

I cry out to You, how long till You save

How long, how long till You save

How long, how long till You save

How long, how long until You save
