A Woman of Valor
Wer eshes chayil meitzar timtza,
W’rachakim m’peninim michrah.
Bathach bah lev vavala,
V’sheלל l’yi'aser chatserah.
G’mulathu tov veloh ra,
Kol y’mai chayeha.
Dar’sha tzamer usdeh,
V’ta’as b’chapetz kapehah.
Kamakh yadayah la’pelek,
V’chafetzah t’mech al d’lish’im.
Por’sah kapah l’evyon,
V’tev tishlach l’ani.
Lo tira livitah mi’shaleg,
Ki kol vatah levush shanim.
Marvadim astatah lah,
V’chishur pitti shayish.
Oz v’hadar levushah,
V’tishchak l’yom acharon.
Pihah patchah b’chokhmah,
V’torat chesed al leshonah.
Tzof’yoth darkay betah,
V’lechem atzlut lo tochal.
Kamu vanu vaneh bayith,
Uvategah chagorah k’tzidon.
Sudar shesh ashmatah ve’argaman,
V’tildaah b’rikmey shaar.
Shalmot astatu lah,
V’sadeh kantah va’tivneh karem.
Taamid lev vatak chazak,
V’titchasseak baze’irah kappah.
Tzavah el beytah chochmah,
V’lo titabet nafsho rah.
Hayilu pakodeyha va’yehaleluhe,
Uf’ri mitzvotayha ba’sha’ar.
Eshet chayil mi yimtza?
U’rachakim m’peninim michrah.
Share'i betah b'levah ba’alah uv'shelah lo yerav.
Gumlah tov hi l'ba’alah v'lo heser kovol mi’mah mechey’hav meyayamah yivnevev.
Dar’shat zah vehatzmer va’tiketsev v’titen t’uv meyadah l'eviyonim.
Chazakah ve’emunah hi, ve’lo tira mi’kol sheyeboweh chaye bayitah ki beytah beged sha’nim va’shani.
Maseh sudarim astatah lah ushtunah ve'argaman levushah.
Yadu'ah u'mevu’heshet sheyivol yivneh bayitah.
Af al kissey melech hishivah b’livushey zahav ki hi eshet-chayil.
