Song of the vineyard

2 In that day it will be said:

vineyard delightsome,

sing you of it.

3 I am its guardian – the Lord –

I water it moment by moment;

that no leaf of it will fail,

by day and by night I guard it.

4 I cherish no anger against it.

But had I the briers and thorns,

I would trample them down in the fray,

I would burn them up altogether.

5 Else, then, let them seek my protection,

and let them make peace with me;

yea, peace let them make with me.

6 That day will Jacob take root,

Israel will blossom and bud,

and with fruit fill the face of the world.
