Jewish pride

Crashing waves toss themselves
Against the sea's shore.
A rock lies there solidly
Its core sunk deep.

Chasing waves toss themselves
Against the solid rock.
But the rock moves not a bit
It stands and prides itself.

Like the rock, so are you,
Jewish pride.
At every sea's shore you stand
With your rocklike power.

So let them, wave-like,
Wild nations, toss against you,
You will not bend your pride,
Although you inner heart complains.
