Sol 5.6

  1. O illustrious banner, risen to humble the foe,

    standing erect to raise renown.

  2. Your servant has come to you, crying out for rescue,

    his heart anguished with care.

  3. Far be it from you to grant justice to another before him,

    while his own right, in your keeping, is usurped.

  4. For whatever a beast of the wilderness sinks its fangs into,

    the wolf stands accused of the deed.

  5. The wolf is not to be trusted; yet

    in Joseph’s case, it was falsely accused.

  6. And the truth came to light after

    Jacob pressed the quest for him in earnest.

  7. So too the servant whose right

    is overborne by the falsehood of his enemies.

  8. They saw you receptive to efforts on his behalf,

    so lies were fabricated against him.
