Maoz Tzur
Ma'oz tsur yeshu'ati
lecha na'eh leshabeakh.
Tikon beit tefilati
vesham todah nezaveakh.
Le'et tachin matbeakh
mitsar hamnabeakh,
'az 'egmor beshir mizmor
khanukat hamizbeakh.
'az 'egmor beshir mizmor
khanukat hamizbeakh.
Rock of Ages, let our song
Praise Thy saving power
Thou amidst the raging foe
wast our sheltering tower
Furious they assailed us
But Thine arm availed us
And Thy word broke their sword
When our own strength failed us
And They word broke their sword
When our own strength failed us
