| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Prayer | | By Solomon Ibn Gabirol |
| | | UNTO thy Rock, O my soul, uplift thy gaze, | |
| His loving-kindness day and night implore. | |
| Remember thy Creator in the days | |
| Of youth, in song His glorious name adore. | |
| He is thy portion through earth’s troubled maze, | 5 |
| Thy shelter, when life’s pilgrimage is o’er. | |
| Thou knowest that there waits for thee always | |
| A peaceful resting-place His throne before. | |
| Therefore the Lord my God I bless and praise, | |
| Even as all creatures bless Him evermore. | 10 | | | |
