The Lord and King has taught me what to say.
    He has taught me how to help those who are tired.
He wakes me up every morning.
    He makes me want to listen like a good student.
The Lord and King has unplugged my ears.
    I’ve always obeyed him.
    I haven’t turned away from him.
I let my enemies beat me on my bare back.
    I let them pull the hair out of my beard.
I didn’t turn my face away
    when they made fun of me and spit on me.
