Let Thy Favour Pass to Me
Translated by Nina Salaman (1924) · From Selected Poems of Jehudah Halevi (Jewish Publication Society, 1924)
Let Thy favour pass to me.
Even as Thy wrath hath passed;
Shall mine iniquity for ever
Stand between me and Thee?
How long shall I search
For Thee beside me, and find Thee not?
O Dweller amid the wings of the Cherubim
That are outspread over Thine Ark,
Thou hast enslaved me unto strangers
While I am the man of Thy right hand.
My Redeemer! to redeem my multitudes
Rise and look forth from Thine abiding place.
