170 JEHUDAH HALEVI
76
A NEW SONG
The day the saved of God
Traversed the deep dryshod,
Then a new song
Sang Thy redeemed throng.
Lo, sunken in deceit
The Egyptian daughter's feet,
The while, the Shulamite
Went shod in fair delight.1
Then a new song
Sang Thy redeemed throng.
All that on Jeshurun gaze
Shall see him shrined in praise,2
For Jeshurun's God arose
Acclaimèd by his foes.
Then a new song
Sang Thy redeemed throng.
Thy banners Thou wilt set
O'er those remaining yet,
And gather those forlorn
As gathering ears of corn.
Then a new song
Sang Thy redeemed throng.
