Cowardly jackal,

Venomous snake,

May this headlong dive

Be your last mistake.

Did you dip your toe in

To test the waters?

Hope to add to the countless

Innocents’ slaughters?

Hundreds of drones and missiles

Failed to make landfall.

All that bluster and firepower

Achieved nothing at all!

You fiends and the monsters,

You rogues armed and backed,

Will not come out of this outrage

Intact.

Iran’s leaders will soon gasp

Their last hurrah.

Wiped out will be

Hezbollah.

Their legacy: death and suffering

Coming at you, r’sha’im,

The pendulum swing.

 

It’s time for a lesson

In respect.

Hashem loves His Nation,

He hates you, Amalek!

 

Once a fairly modern

Industrial land

Till the ayatollah

Wrested command,

When they took US hostages

Strode atop the world stage;

The US should’ve bombed them

Back to the stone age.

 

The same nations against Israel

Who betray and condemn,

Count on her to do

The world’s dirty work again.

 

Lions of Israel

Arise,

Let the whole world

Realize,

Few in number,

Small in size,

Still, most beloved

In G-d’s eyes.

 

Thank you,

HaKadosh Baruch Hu.

Fortunate are we

Who trust in You.

You’ve again left those

Who would harm us.

Confounded,

Your salvation

Leaves the world astounded.

 

The survival of Israel

Leads the world to proclaim:

Blessed is the Nation

That bares Your Great Name,

As You have many times,

You’ve saved us once more;

Your kindness

Upon Your people

Forever endures.
