3“1Let the dayH3117 perishH6 on which I was to be bornH3205, And the nightH3915 which saidH559, ‘A 2boyH1397 is conceivedH2029.’4May that dayH3117 be darknessH2822; Let not GodH433 aboveH4605 careH1875 for it, NorH408 lightH5105 shineH3313 on it.5Let 3darknessH2822 and blackH6757 gloomH6757 claimH1350 it; Let a cloudH6053 settleH7931 on it; Let the blacknessH3650 of the dayH3117 terrifyH1204 it.6As for that nightH3915, let darknessH652 seizeH3947 it; Let it not rejoiceH2302 among the daysH3117 of the yearH8141; Let it not comeH935 into the numberH4557 of the monthsH3391.7BeholdH2009, let that nightH3915 be barrenH1565; Let noH408 joyfulH7445 shoutH7445 enterH935 it.8Let those curseH6895 it who curseH779 the dayH3117, Who are 4preparedH6264 to 5rouseH5782 LeviathanH3882.9Let the starsH3556 of its twilightH5399 be darkenedH2821; Let it waitH6960 for lightH216 but haveH369 noneH369, And let it not seeH7200 the 6breakingH6079 dawnH7837;
