[Instrumental] [Intro] And Judith sang: [Verse] Strike up a song to my God with tambourines, sing to the Lord with cymbals; Improvise for him a new song, exalt and acclaim his name. For the Lord is a God who crushes wars; he sets his encampment among his people; he delivered me from the hands of my pursuers. The Assyrian came from the mountains of the north, [Verse] with myriads of his forces he came; Their numbers blocked the wadies, their cavalry covered the hills. He threatened to burn my territory, put my youths to the sword, Dash my infants to the ground, [Verse] seize my children as plunder. And carry off my virgins as spoil. But the Lord Almighty thwarted them, by the hand of a female! [Pre-Chorus] Not by youths was their champion struck down, nor did Titans bring him low, nor did tall giants attack him; [Chorus] But Judith, the daughter of Merari, by the beauty of her face brought him down. She took off her widow’s garb to raise up the afflicted in Israel. [Instrumental] [Verse] She anointed her face with fragrant oil; fixed her hair with a diadem, and put on a linen robe to beguile him. [Chorus] But Judith, the daughter of Merari, by the beauty of her face brought him down. She took off her widow’s garb to raise up the afflicted in Israel. [Instrumental] [Verse] Her sandals ravished his eyes, her beauty captivated his mind, the sword cut through his neck! [Chorus] But Judith, the daughter of Merari, by the beauty of her face brought him down. She took off her widow’s garb to raise up the afflicted in Israel. [Instrumental] [End]
