There is no fruit in the
vineyard.
There are no clusters to
eat.
Am I alone in this land?
Faithful men have perished
from the
earth.
Upright men no longer walk
along
its roads.
Am I alone in this land?
The best of the best is no
better
than a brier.
The rest is sharper than
a hedge
of thorns.
Am I alone in this land?
Brothers hunt brothers with
nets,
So they can do evil with
both hands.
Am I alone in this land?
Leaders ask for gifts and
seek
bribes.
Important men utter vile
desires.
Am I alone in this land?
Sons dishonor their fathers.
Daughters shame their mothers.
Am I alone in this land?
I find no friend to trust.
I have no companion I can
put
my confidence.
Am I alone in this land?
Woe would be me,
It is true,
If I had not the Lord to
look to.
I am not alone.
He is my salvation.
I call out to Him,
and He answers me.
