May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised
from everlasting to everlasting.
Amen and amen.

Kings’ daughters are among your honored women;
the queen, adorned with gold from Ophir,
stands at your right hand.

Trembling seized them there,
agony like that of a woman in labor,

Like a slug that moves along in slime,
like a woman’s miscarried child,
they will not see the sun.

The Lord gave the command;
a great company of women brought the good news:

Singers lead the way,
with musicians following;
among them are young women
playing tambourines.

May His glorious name be praised forever;
the whole earth is filled with His glory.
Amen and amen.

Fire consumed His chosen young men,
and His young women had no wedding songs.

Gebal, Ammon, and Amalek,
Philistia with the inhabitants of Tyre.

May the Lord be praised forever.
Amen and amen.

May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised
from everlasting to everlasting.
Let all the people say, “Amen!”
Hallelujah!

He gives the childless woman a household,
making her the joyful mother of children.
Hallelujah!

young men as well as young women,
old and young together.
