| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Daughter of Zion | | Anonymous |
| | | DAUGHTER of Zion! Awake from thy sadness: | |
| Awake, for thy foes shall oppress thee no more; | |
| Bright o’er thy hills dawns the day-star of gladness, | |
| Arise! for the night of thy sorrow is o’er. | |
| Strong were thy foes, but the arm that subdued them | 5 |
| And scattered their legions was mightier far. | |
| They fled, like the chaff from the scourge that pursued them; | |
| For vain were their steed and their chariots of war! | |
| |
| Daughter of Zion that Power that hath saved thee, | |
| Extolled with the harp and the timbrel should be; | 10 |
| Shout! for the foe is destroyed that enslaved thee. | |
| The oppressor is vanquished and Zion is free! | | | | |
