But they put in my food - poison! And, for my thirst, they gave for my drink - vinegar!

When he gave to the corn-locust their produce, And their toil, to the swarming locust;

When he gave up, to hail-storms, their beasts, And their cattle, to pestilent fevers;

So he gave up the habitation of Shiloh, The tent he had set up among Men;

Yea he gave up, into captivity, his strength, And his beauty into the hand of an adversary;

In the pillar of cloud, used he to speak unto them, They kept his testimonies, and the statute he gave them.

And gave them, the lands of the nations, And, of the toil of the peoples, took they possession:

So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

[KAPH] My soul, hath languished for thy salvation, For thy word, have I hoped.

[KOPH] I have cried out with all my heart, answer me, O Yahweh; Thy statutes, will I observe.

Blessed, be Yahweh, who gave us not as prey to their teeth.

And gave their land as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel his people.

And gave their land for an inheritance, For, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
