As a beast I lack the common sense of man So much I do not know, I fail to understand More brutish than any man I do not know the holy, tell me now Who hath bound the oceans In his garments And established the borders of the earth? I was as a beast before thee More brutish than any man I do not know the holy, tell me now Who has ascended into the heavens And gathered the wind in his fist? I was as a beast before thee More brutish than any man I do not know the holy, tell me now What is his name, what is the name of his son If thou canst tell? As a beast I lack the dignity of man The laws of holiness I can not comprehend I was as a beast before thee More brutish than any man I do not know the holy, tell me now! Who holds the world in his hand?
