1. O my supporter when my supporter failed me
And my preparations when my preparations were frustrated

2. I beseeched you by God, the Preserver, and your kindness to me
That you support my shoulder when it weakens

3. You are the drink with which I swallowed bitterness, my master and my pillar
And I did not fear that you would be a hardship for me, never

4. So do not let slander prevent you from strengthening my purpose, my favor, and my hand
And persist in all that you have begun, confirming what you have tightened of my knots

5. For I am between two plans which are the honor or disgrace of my lifetime
If you strengthen me I will be strengthened, and if you deliver me to the enemies my pillars will collapse

6. How and from where would I have compensation when you are my back and you are my reliance
Give me - I have no right but my hatred of you, it suffices me, that is my sanity

7. You whom love of you has taken the place of life in my body
And do not blame me for my anguish, for besides what is in me, it has come upon my skin

8. If a lion had gotten me with his claw, he would not have gotten me what you see from my hidden agony
But he is a fox, I was deceived by him, so he got from me, and it was enough for him that I thought him a lion

9. The envy of your supporting me has frustrated the envious one from the beginning, so do not let him gloat over my envy
