Psalm 129 — A Gilt Facade

A Kyrielle

My self and soul they ridiculed,
They burdened me with harsh dogma,
And broke my back with brutal rules,
But they will never conquer me.

My God is righteous, just, and fair:
He cleaved the chains they made for me
And let them fall in their own snare.
O, they will never conquer me.
