TRIBUTE TO THE REFUGE
PRAISES OF STRENGTH
O Refuge and Rock of my salvation
Whom we praise in pleasance.
Far, far away, beside my home,
orchards exude their fragrance.
I will pass through all the tunnels, caverns and fortresses,
Through grottoes rocky and trenches dusty..
Somewhere in the depths of night, someone intent lies,
Seeking my life, observing silently.
O Refuge and Rock of my salvation,
unwavering, unyielding stronghold and trove.
Almond trees beside my home
are covered white with blossom down the grove.
I will pass through all the tunnels, caverns and fortresses,
Through grottoes rocky and trenches dusty.
Somewhere in the depths of night,
someone intent lies,
Seeking my life, watching me silently.
O Refuge and Rock of my salvation
in endless battle victorious.
My sister Ayelet's smile
will be tinged with all her weariness.
I will pass through all the tunnels, caverns and fortresses,
Through grottoes rocky and trenches dusty.
Somewhere in the depths of night,
someone intent lies,
Seeking my life, in ambush silently.
Woe upon him I sting,
woe upon him from my honey's taste;
Woe upon him who seeks my life to take.
