Week 2 (Book 7): The Hen is Saying

 B”H

The Hen is saying, 

He gives bread to all flesh, for His kindness endures forever."

And he said, "The Lord is my rock and my fortress, and a rescuer to me.”

Draw me, we will run after you 

When the people offer themselves willingly, bless the Lord.

My lesson will drip like rain; 

We will rejoice and be glad in you. 

My word will flow like dew;

They have loved you sincerely.

As the heavens, with which You will establish Your faithfulness. 

A horse and its rider He cast into the sea. 

Like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.

You guide my destiny. 

Like storm winds on vegetation and like raindrops on grass. 

The king brought me to his chambers. 

And he had two wives; the name of the one was Hannah 

The Eternal's strength and His vengeance were my salvation;

They made me a keeper of the vineyards;

Even the inheritance pleases me.

My own vineyard I did not keep.

And the name of the second was Peninnah; 

And Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

My mother's sons were incensed against me; 

When breaches are made in Israel, 

I am black but comely, O daughters of Jerusalem! 

Portions have fallen to me in pleasant places; 

We will recall your love more fragrant than wine; 

The Lord is my allotted portion and my cup; 

For I said, "Forever will it be built with kindness; 

Do not look upon me [disdainfully] because I am swarthy, 

Even at night my conscience instructs me.

For the sun has gazed upon me; 

I will bless the Lord, Who counseled me;
