How foolish we
are--afraid of the only one
who can rescue us,
the one who guards our lives.
We would rather herd
the wind--depend upon
fickle human support
instead of upon
your divine power to
save.
Why should we doubt
your love for us,
or your power to
rescue us from the
hand of the wicked or
from death?
