1. Indeed, Simeon is our elder and beloved of God
And all people equally

2. He is our great leader, most generous
With elders devoid of arrogance

3. Never between us, disputes
Through which we seek judgment, not reconciliation

4. I praise him, while he is true to his word
Not indebted to praise

5. And he has the right - it is in one's soul, not in
The words of a praiser - the essence of nobility

6. And I have the excuse - can silence be condoned
Regarding deeds that call for acclaim?
