A Scroll of Remembrance Lyrics

So I will come to put you on trial
I will be quick to testify

Against sorcerers
Adulterers and perjurers
Against those who defraud laborers
Of their wages
Who oppress the widows and the fatherless
And deprive the foreigners among you
Of justice, but do not fear me"

You have spoken
Arrogantly against me
Yet you ask
'What have we said against you?'

You have said
'It is futile to serve God
What do we gain by
Carrying out his requirements'

'Now we call the arrogant blessed
Certainly evildoers prosper,
And even when they put God to the test
They get away with it'

You have spoken
Arrogantly against me
Yet you ask
'What have we said against you?'

Then those who feared the Lord
Talked with each other

And the Lord listened and heard
A scroll of remembrance
Was written in his presence

Concerning those who feared the Lord
And honored his name

And the Lord listened and heard
A scroll of remembrance
Was written in his presence

You have spoken
Arrogantly against me
Yet you ask
'What have we said against you?'

You have said
'It is futile to serve God
What do we gain by
Carrying out his requirements'
