On the Sea VI
Translated by Nina Salaman (1924) · From Selected Poems of Jehudah Halevi (Jewish Publication Society, 1924)
I say in the heart of the seas to the quaking heart,
Fearing exceedingly because they lift up their waves:
If thou believest in God who made
The sea, and whose Name doth stand unto all eternity,
The sea shall not affright thee when the waves thereof arise,
For with thee is One who hath set a bound to the sea.
