“Let those curse it who curse the day,
Who are skilled in rousing up Leviathan.

“Can you draw out Leviathan with a fishhook?
Or press down his tongue with a cord?

You crushed the heads of Leviathan (Egypt);
You gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.

There the ships [of the sea] sail,
And Leviathan [the sea monster], which You have formed to play there.

In that day the Lord will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent
With His fierce and great and mighty sword [rescuing Israel from her enemy],
Even Leviathan the twisted serpent;
And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.
