(ב) אל אלוהי אבי שמעון אתה נתת חרב בידו להנקם בבני נכר על אשר חיללו את אחותו הבתולה:
(ג) ועל כן המתה שריהם מתבוססים בדם על ערשם ופקדת עוון השרים על עבדיהם:
(ד) ראשיהם הורדת מכיסאם ונשיהם ובניהם נתת לשבי ולבזה ביד עבדיך אשר אהבת יען כי קראו לך לנקום את נקמת חרפתם:
(2) O Lord God of my father Simeon, to whom you gave a sword to take vengeance on the strangers, who loosened the girdle of a maid to defile her, and uncovered the thigh to her shame, and polluted her virginity to her reproach; for you said, 'It will not be so,' and yet they did so.
(3) Therefore you gave their rulers to be slain, so that they dyed their bed in blood, being deceived, and you struck the servants with their lords
(4) and the lords upon their thrones; and you have given their wives for a prey and their daughters to be captives and all their spoils to be divided among your dear children, who were moved with your zeal and abhorred the pollution of their blood and called upon you for aid.
