THE LORD IS MY PORTION by YEHUDA HALEVI

First Line: SERVANTS OF TIME, LO! THESE BE SLAVES OF SLAVES
Last Line: "THE LORD GOD IS MY PORTION,"" SAITH MY SOUL."
SERVANTS of time, lo! these be slaves of slaves;
But the Lord's servant hath his freedom whole,
Therefore, when every man his portion craves,
"The Lord God is my portion," saith my soul.
