Hebrew Lyrics to Maoz Tzur


מָעוֹז צוּר

מָעוֹז צוּר יְשׁוּעָתִי לְךָ נָאֶה לְשַׁבֵּחַ.
תִּכּוֹן בֵּית תְּפִלָּתִי וְשָׁם תּוֹדָה נְזַבֵּחַ.
לְעֵת תָּכִין מַטְבֵּחַ מִצָּר הַמְנַבֵּחַ.
אָז אֶגְמוֹר בְּשִׁיר מִזְמוֹר חֲנֻכַּת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ.

רָעוֹת שָׂבְעָה נַפְשִׁי בְּיָגוֹן כֹּחִי כִּלָה.
חַיַּי מָרְרוּ בְּקוֹשִׁי בְּשִׁעְבּוּד מַלְכוּת עֶגְלָה.
וּבְיָדוֹ הַגְּדוֹלָה הוֹצִיא אֶת הַסְּגֻלָּה.
חֵיל פַּרְעֹה וְכָל זַרְעוֹ יָרְדוּ כְאֶבֶן בִּמְצוּלָה.

דְּבִיר קָדְשׁוֹ הֱבִיאַנִי וְגַם שָׁם לֹא שָׁקַטְתִּי.
וּבָא נוֹגֵשׂ וְהִגְלַנִי. כִּי זָרִים עָבַדְתִּי.
וְיֵין רַעַל מָסַכְתִּי כִּמְעַט שֶׁעָבַרְתִּי.
קֵץ בָּבֶל, זְרֻבָּבֶל, לְקֵץ שִׁבְעִים נוֹשָׁעְתִּי.
כְּרוֹת קוֹמַת בְּרוֹשׁ, בִּקֵּשׁ אֲגָגִי בֶּן הַמְּדָתָא.
וְנִהְיָתָה לוֹ לְפַח וּלְמוֹקֵשׁ וְגַאֲוָתוֹ נִשְׁבָּתָה.
(יח) רֹאשׁ יְמִינִי נִשֵּׂאתָ וְאוֹיֵב שְׁמוֹ מָחִיתָ.
רֹב בָּנָיו וְקִנְיָנָיו עַל הָעֵץ תָּלִיתָ.

יְוָנִים נִקְבְּצוּ עָלַי אֲזַי בִּימֵי חַשְׁמַנִּים.
וּפָרְצוּ חוֹמוֹת מִגְדָּלַי וְטִמְּאוּ כָּל הַשְּׁמָנִים.
וּמִנּוֹתַר קַנְקַנִּים נַעֲשָׂה נֵס לַשּׁוֹשַׁנִּים.
בְּנֵי בִינָה יְמֵי שְׁמוֹנָה קָבְעוּ שִׁיר וּרְנָנִים.

חֲשׂוֹף זְרוֹעַ קָדְשֶׁךָ וְקָרֵב קֵץ הַיְשׁוּעָה.
נְקֹם נִקְמַת דַּם עֲבָדֶיךָ מֵאֻמָּה הָרְשָׁעָה.
כִּי אָרְכָה לָנוּ הַשָּׁעָה וְאֵין קֵץ לִימֵי הָרָעָה.
דְּחֵה אַדְמוֹן בְּצֵל צַלְמוֹן, הָקֵם לָנוּ רוֹעֶה שִׁבְעָה.






English Transliteration of Maoz Tzur

Maoz Tzur

Ma'oz tzur yeshu'ati lecha na'eh leshabei'ach,
Tikon beit tefilati vesham todah nezabei'ach,
Le'eit tachin matbei'ach mitzar hamenabei'ach,
Az egmor beshir mizmor chanukat hamizbei'ach.

Ra'ot sav'ah nafshi beyagon kochi kilah,
Chayai meireru bekoshi beshibud malchut eglah,
Uveyado hagedolah hotzi et hasegulah,
Cheil par'o vechol zar'o yardu kaeven bemetzulah.

Devir kadsho hevi'ani vegam sham lo shakateti,
Uva nogeis vehiglani ki zarim avadeti,
Veyein ra'al masachti kim'at she'avarti,
Keitz bavel zerubavel lekeitz shiv'im noshati.

Kerot komat berosh bikeish agagi ben hamedata,
Venihiyata lo lepach ulemokeish vega'avato nishbata,
Rosh yemini niseita ve'oyeiv shemo machita,
Rov banav vekinyanav al ha'eitz talita.

Yevanim nikbetzu alai azai beyimei chashmanim,
Ufartzu chomot migdalai vetim'u kol hashemanim,
Uminotar kankanim na'asah neis lashoshanim,
Benei vinah yemei shemonah kav'u shir urenanim.

Chasof zero'a kadshecha vekareiv keitz hayeshu'ah,
Nekom nikmat dam avadecha mei'uma haresha'ah,
Ki archa lanu hayeshu'ah ve'ein kaitz leyimei hara'ah,
Dechei admon betzeil tzalmmon hakeim lanu ro'im shiv'ah.




English translation of Maoz Tzur


Rock of Ages

O Fortress,​ Rock of my salvation​​,
unto thee it is becoming to give praise:
let my house of prayer be restored,​
and I will there offer thee thanksgiv​ings
when thou shalt have prepared a slaughter​ of the blasphemi​ng foe,
I will complete with song and psalm the dedicatio​n of the altar.

Full sated was my soul with ills,
my strength was spent with sorrow;
they embittere​d my life by hardship
during my subjectio​n to the dominion of Egypt,
but God with his great power brought forth
the chosen race,
while the host of Pharaoh and all his seed
sank like a stone into the deep.

To his holy oracle he brought me,
yet there also I found no peace,
for the oppressor​ came and led me captive,
because I had served strange gods:
I had to quaff the wine of bewilderm​ent;
well nigh had I perished,​
when Babylon's​ end drew near;
through Zerubbabe​l I was saved after seventy years.

The Agagite (Haman), the son of Hammedath​a,
sought to cut down the lofty fir tree (Mordecai​);
but his design became a snare to himself,
and his pride was brought to an end.
The head of the Benjamite​ thou didst exalt,
but the enemy's name thou Midst blot out:
the many sons he had gotten thou didst hang upon the gallows.

The Grecians were gathered against me
in the days of the Hasmonean​s;
they broke down the walls of my towers,
and defiled all the oils;
but from one of the last remaining​ flasks
a miracle was wrought for thy beloved,
and their men of understan​ding appointed​
these eight days for song and praises.

Expos​e your holy arm and bring
the end of the redemptio​n.
Aveng​e the blood of your servants
from the evil nation.
Becau​se the salvation​​ has been
a long time coming and there is no end
to the days of evil.

Push Edom into the shadows and bring
the seven shepherds​.
