4. Recit. (T)
Why hast thou, O my God,
In my distress,
In my great fear and anguish
Then turned away from me?
Ah! Know'st thou not thy child?
Ah! Hear'st thou not the wailing
Of those who are to thee
In bond and faith allied?
Thou wast once my delight
And to me art now cruel;
I search for thee in ev'ry region,
I call and cry to thee,
But still my "Woe and Ah"
Seems now by thee completely unperceived.
