Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvation of Israel! When Yahweh bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, be glad.

Then did the earth shake and quake, Even, the foundations of the mountains, were deeply moved, Yea they did shake, because he was angry.

There went up smoke in his nostrils, and, a fire out of his mouth, devoured, Live coals, were kindled from it:

Then appeared the channels of waters, were uncovered the foundations of the world, - At thy rebuke O Yahweh, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

He rescued me from my foe, in his might, and from them who hated me, because they were too strong for me:

For, all his regulations, were before me, and, his statutes, did I not put from me:

For, as for thee, an oppressed people, thou didst save, but, looks that were lofty, layedst thou low;

I pursued my foes, and overtook them, and returned not, till they were consumed:

I crushed them, and they were unable to rise, They fell under my feet.

O Yahweh! thou hast lifted, out of hades, my soul, Thou hast brought me back to life, from among those who were going down to the pit.

By the word of Yahweh, the heavens were made, and, by the spirit of his mouth, all their host:

They looked unto him and were radiant, And, as for their faces, let them not be abashed.

But, as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth, I humbled, with fasting, my soul, though, my prayer, unto mine own bosom, might return:

For I said, Lest they rejoice over me! When my feet were tottering, against me, have they magnified themselves:

They themselves, saw, So, were they amazed, Dismayed - they hurried way!

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee, For, mine, is the world, and the fulness thereof.

Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvations of Israel! When God bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, shall be glad.

Then I said - Oh that there were given me a pinion, like a dove, I would fly away and be at rest:

He hath completely redeemed my soul, out of the attack upon me, For, in multitudes, were they in conflict with me.

Smoother than curds, were the words of his mouth, But, war, was in his heart, - Softer his words than oil, Yet, they, were drawn swords!

When they were to have ruined another, their tongue smote themselves, All who observe them take flight.

Even my tongue, all the day, shall softly utter thy righteousness, For they have turned pale - for they have blushed, Who were seeking my hurt.

The waters saw thee, O God, The waters saw thee, They were in birth-throes, Yea the resounding deeps were stirred;

So they did eat and were abundantly filled, When, what they longed for, he had brought them: -

But, their heart, was not fixed with him, Nor were they trusty in his covenant:

So then he remembered, That, Flesh, they were, A Wind departing, that returneth not.

His young men, were devoured by fire, And, his virgins, were not praised in song;

His priests, by the sword, did fall, And, his widows, were not able to bewail.

Covered were the mountains with its shade, And, with its boughs, the mighty cedars.

I took away, from the burden, his shoulder, his hands, from the clay, were set free.

If, my people, were hearkening unto me, If, Israel, in my ways, would walk,

But, of Zion, it shall be said - This man and that were born in her, And the Highest himself shall establish her.

So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, - Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.

Moses and Aaron, were among his priests, And, Samuel, was among them who were calling upon his Name, Who were calling upon Yahweh, and, he, used to answer them:

To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To set free, them who were appointed to death.

While as yet they were men easily counted, - A very few, and sojourners therein;

And their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.

I was glad, when they were saying unto me, Unto the house of Yahweh, let us go!

When Yahweh brought back the captives of Zion, we were like them who dream:

Mine unfinished substance, thine eyes beheld, and, in thy book, all the parts thereof were written, - the days they should be fashioned! while yet there was not one among them.

Let them praise the Name of Yahweh, for, he, commanded, and they were created;
