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.
The Lord and King helps me.
    He won’t let me be dishonored.
So I’ve made up my mind to keep on serving him.
    I know he won’t let me be put to shame.
