THE TEMPLE
The Singers (within the Temple):
O Lord God, to Whom vengeance belongeth, lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth.
O Lord God, to Whom vengeance belongeth, render a reward to the proud.
Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
Judas:
My punishment is greater than I can bear.
The Singers:
How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
Judas:
Mine iniquity is greater than can be forgiven.
The Singers:
They break in pieces Thy people, O Lord, and afflict Thine heritage.
The Priests:
A voice of trembling, of fear,
Why art thou so grieved in thy mind?
Judas:
I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood.
The Priests:
What is that to us? See thou to that.
Judas:
I have sinned, I have betrayed the innocent ...
The Priests:
Selah!
Narrator 2:
And he cast down the pieces of silver and departed.
The Singers:
Lord, how long shall the wicked triumph?
Yet they say, The Lord shall not see:
He that planted the ear, shall He not hear?
He that formed the eye, shall He not see?
