Text
German original
Der Herr ist mit mir,
darum fürchte ich mich nicht,
was können mir Menschen tun?
Der Herr ist mit mir,
mir zu helfen,
und ich will meine Lust sehen an meinen Feinden.
Alleluia
English (Psalm 118, 6-7, KJV)
The Lord is on my side;
I will not fear:
what can man do unto me?
The Lord taketh my part
with them that help me:
therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.
Hallelujah

gollark: I don't agree with it unless the actual people in question are going around, well, killing people/being at war/etc.
gollark: There are of course still ethical issues even if you don't like the users on them much.
gollark: Also, *are* there weird niche left-wing social media sites to hack?
