Lyrics
Now in the twelfth month, which is the month Adar On the thirteenth day of the month When the king’s commandment and his decree came near To be put in execution
On the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to conquer them But it turned out that the opposite happened The Jews conquered those who hated them The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities
Throughout all the provinces of the King Ahasuerus To lay hands on those who wanted to harm them No one could withstand them Because the fear of them had fallen on all the people
All the princes of the provinces The local governors, the governors And those who did the king’s business helped the Jews Because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them
The Jews conquered those who hated them The Jews conquered those who hated them For Mordecai was great in the king’s house His fame went out throughout all the provinces
The Jews struck all their enemies with the stroke of the sword With slaughter and destruction And did what they wanted to those who hated them In the citadel of Susa the Jews killed five hundred men
They killed the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha The Jews’ enemy But they didn’t lay their hand on the plunder On that day the number of those who were slain
The Jews conquered those who hated them The Jews conquered those who hated them The king said to Esther the queen The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men
What have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? The Jews who were in Susa gathered themselves together On the fourteenth day also of the month Adar And killed three hundred men
