A song to Tsiyon.
1 I shall remember you, O Tsiyon, for a beraḵah.
I love you with all My strength;
For your remembrance is to be baraḵ forever.
2 Your expectancy is great, O Tsiyon;
Peace and your awaited deliverance shall come.
3 Generation after generation shall dwell in you,
And generations of the righteous shall be your ornament.
4 They who long for the day of your deliverance
Shall rejoice in the greatness of your esteem.
5 They shall be nursed on the fullness of your esteem,
And in your lovely streets they shall make tinkling sounds.
6 You shall remember the righteous deeds of your nebi’im,
And shall esteem yourself in the deeds of your righteous ones.
7 Cleanse violence from your midst;
May lying and wickedness be cut off from you.
8 Your sons shall rejoice within you,
And your loved ones shall be joined to you.
How much have they waited on your deliverance?
9 How much have your perfect ones mourned for you?
10 Your expectancy, O Tsiyon, shall not perish,
And your expectation shall not be forgotten.
11 Is there a righteous man who has perished?
Is there a man who has escaped his wickedness?
12 Man is tried according to his way,
Each is repaid according to his deeds.
13 Your oppressors shall be cut off from around you, O Tsiyon,
And all who hate you shall be dispersed.
14 Your praise is pleasing, O Tsiyon;
It rises up in all the world.
15 I remember you many times for a beraḵah,
And I baraḵ you with all My heart.
16 You shall attain to everlasting righteousness,
And shall receive bireḵoth from the noble.
17 Take the vision which speaks of you,
And the dreams of the neḇi’im requested for you.
18 Be exalted and increase, O Tsiyon,
And praise the Most High, your Redeemer!
May my being rejoice in Your esteem!
