نَشيدُ المَراقي. كثيرًا ما ضايَقوني مُنذُ حَداثَتي - لِيَقُلْها إِسْرائيل

كثيرًا ما ضايَقوني مُنذُ حَداثَتي ولم يَقدِروا علَيَّ

على ظَهْري حَرَثَ الحارِثون وطَوَّلوا أَتْلامَهم

الرَّبُّ البارُّ حَطَّمَ نيرَ الأَشْرار

فلْيَخْزَ كُلُّ الَّذينَ يُبغِضونَ صِهْيون ولْيَرتَدُّوا إِلى الوَراء

لِيَكُونُوا كَعُشْبِ السُّطُوحِ الَّذِي يَيْبَسُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْلَعَ،

الَّذي لم يَملَإِ الحاصِدُ كفَّه مِنه ولا حازِمُ الحُزَمِ حِضنَه

وَلاَ يَقُولُ الْعَابِرُونَ: «بَرَكَةُ الرَّبِّ عَلَيْكُمْ. بَارَكْنَاكُمْ بِاسْمِ الرَّبِّ».

Many times they have afflicted me from my youth up. Let Israel now say:

many times they have afflicted me from my youth up, yet they have not prevailed against me.

The plowers plowed on my back. They made their furrows long.

The LORD is righteous. He has cut apart the cords of the wicked.

Let them be disappointed and turned backward, all those who hate Zion.

Let them be as the grass on the housetops, which withers before it grows up,

with which the reaper doesn’t fill his hand, nor he who binds sheaves, his bosom.

Neither do those who go by say, “The blessing of the LORD be on you. We bless you in the LORD’s name.”
