| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | The Pride of a Jew | | By Judah Ha-Levi (Trans. Israel Cohen) |
| | | WITH all my heart, in truth, and passion strong, | |
| I love Thee; both in solitude and throng | |
| Thy name’s with me, alone I shall not bide: | |
| My friend art Thou, though others from me glide. | |
| My lamp art too: my light shall never fade, | 5 |
| Nor shall my foot e’er slip, by Thee upstayed. | |
| They little knew who have despised me so, | |
| That shaming me doth cause my pride to glow. | |
| O Fountain of my life, I’ll bless Thee aye, | |
| And sing Thy praises, O my song, alway! | 10 | | | |
