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 thanksgivings
when thou shalt have prepared a slaughter
of the blaspheming foe,
I will complete with song and psalm the dedication of the altar.
Full sated was my soul with ills,
my strength was spent with sorrow;
they embittered my life by hardship
during my subjection 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 bewilderment;
well nigh had I perished,
when Babylon's end drew near;
through Zerubbabel I was saved after seventy years.
The Agagite (Haman), the son of Hammedatha,
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 Hasmoneans;
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 understanding appointed
these eight days for song and praises.
Expose your holy arm and bring
the end of the redemption.
Avenge the blood of your servants
from the evil nation.
Because 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.
