Dear Father in heaven My heart is wounded, I cannot bear it. Our blood is still being poured out By murderous afflictions. My brothers' cries of pain Pierce my brain, Dear father in heaven! You must show Your hand. Serve out righteousness, Punish the flayers, For the innocent, spilled blood Of Israel's children. But maybe my prayer to You Is not inflamed enough! Then look within my breast See my heart, Ploughed apart by pain.
