רָעוֹת שָׂבְעָה נַפְשִׁי בְּיָגוֹן כֹּחִי כָּלָה
חַיַּי מֵרְרוּ בְּקֹֽשִׁי בְּשִׁעְבּוּד מַלְכוּת עֶגְלָה
וּבְיָדוֹ הַגְּדוֹלָה הוֹצִיא אֶת הַסְּגֻלָּה

רָעוֹת Troubles sated my soul; my strength was spent with sorrow.

But God with His great power brought out His treasured people,
while Pharaoh’s host and followers sank like a stone into the deep.

דְּבִיר He brought me to His holy abode, but even there I found no rest.
The oppressor came and exiled me, because I had served strange gods.
I had drunk poisoned wine. I almost perished.
Then Babylon fell, Zerubbabel came: within seventy years I was saved.

**English Edition; Koren Publishers Jerusalem, 2017:**
כְּרֹת The Agagite, son of Hammedatha, sought to cut down the tall fir tree,
but it became a trap to him, and his arrogance was brought to an end.
You raised the head of the Benjaminite, and the enemy’s name You blotted out.
His many sons and his household You hanged on the gallows.

**English Edition; Koren Publishers Jerusalem, 2017:**
יְוָנִים Then the Greeks gathered against me,
in the days of the Hasmoneans.
They broke down the walls of my towers, and defiled all the oils.
But from the last remaining flask a miracle was wrought for Your beloved.
Therefore the sages ordained these eight days for song and praise.

**English Edition; Koren Publishers Jerusalem, 2017:**
חֲשֹׂף Bare Your holy arm, and hasten the time of salvation.
Take retribution against the evil nation on behalf of Your servants,
for the hour [of deliverance] has been too long delayed; there seems no end to the evil days.
Thrust the enemy into the darkness of death, and establish for us the seven Shepherds.
