LEMA'AN TZION

FOR ZION'S SAKE

Lema-an tziyon lo echesheh
U'lema-an Yerushalayim, lo eshkot
Ad yetzeh chanogah tzidkah
V'yeshuata kelapid yiv´ar

Vra-u goyim tzidkech
v'chol melachim kevodech.

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent;
and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest,
Until her triumph goes forth as brightness,
and her salvation as a torch that burns.

And the nations shall see your triumph,
and all kings your glory.
