lyrics

I was envious of the arrogant
As I saw the prosperity of the wicked,
For there are no pains in their death,
And their stomachs are full.
They're not in trouble like other people,
Nor do they suffer with the rest of mankind.
They've set their mouths against all that is good,
And their influence parades through the earth.
Arrogance is their necklace;
The garment of violence covers them...

These are the wicked.
And always at ease,
they've increased in wealth.
Surely in vain I've kept my heart pure
And washed my hands in innocence.

The world may hold its wealth and gold
But my heart keeps another treasure,
to which I'll hold fast, until at last
a crown be mine, and honor in full measure
Of one pearl each shining portal
Join the choir immortal

Many spend their lives in fretting
Over trifles and in getting
Things that have no solid ground.
As you will, so be it ever
I shall strive to win a treasure
That will bring me lasting pleasure
And now is seldom found.

These are the wicked.
And always at ease, they prosper.
Surely in vain I've kept my heart pure
And washed my hands in innocence.

The world may hold its wealth and gold
But my heart keeps another treasure,
to which I'll hold fast, until at last
a crown be mine, and honor in full measure
Of one pearl each shining portal
Join the choir immortal

These are the wicked.
Then I perceived their end.
