yajamaanaaya sunvata aagne suviiryaM vaha

And the LORD spake unto Gad, David’s seer, saying,

sa naH punaana aa bhara rayiM stotre suviiryam

yaH sniihitiiSu puurvyaH saMjagmaanaasu kRSTiSu

puuSaNaM nv a\jaashvam upa stoSaama vaajinam

yukSvaa hi tvaM rathaasahaa yuvasva poSyaa vaso

taM te madaM gRNiimasi vRSaNam pRtsu saasahim

eSa devo vipanyubhiH pavamaana RtaayubhiH

All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

abhy a\rSa svaayudha soma dvibarhasaM rayim

pra nuunaM jaayataam ayam manus tokmeva rohatu

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

suta indraaya vaayave varuNaaya marudbhyaH

adRSTaan hanty aayaty atho hanti paraayatii

Of the tribe of Dan, Ammiel the son of Gemalli.

In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.

aa tv a\shatrav aa gahi ny u\kthaani ca huuyase

nuunam arca vihaayase stomebhi sthuurayuupavat

Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

How shall we sing the LORD’s song in a strange land?
