    About the Piyut!
    This is a Piyut for the Hebrew month of Nissan, sung in celebration of Passover by the Babylonian Jewish
    communities. In many communities it is even sung around the Seder table. The Piyut was written by
    Rabbi Moshe Chutzin, one of many scholars and poets foun among 18th century Babylonian Jewry. His
    name can be seen as an acronym one letter for the beginning of each verse. The Piyut is traditionally
    sung in the month preceding Nissan, in celebration of all the month and the Passover represent
    redemption, freedom, and growth. The redemption from Egypt is likened to the Messianic redemption
    that, tradition states, will begin during this celebrated month as well. !

    English Translation!
    King, redeemer, and savior! !
    A God feared in the council of holy ones!
    Who gives vigor to those without might!
    Strengthening the sinking hands of the poor!
    In the spring month he took out!
    The children of Israel, armed!
    Give thanks to God, for this month will be
    your first month!
    We will exalt His name together!
    With harp and lute!
    For he remembered His sacred promise!
    And took His nation out of siege!
    And he commanded His nation!
    Take a lamb on the tenth!
    To announce that He rules!
    Over gods and men!
    Give thanks to God, for this month will be
    your first month!
    The nation offered their Passover sacrifices!
    Without fear of Egypt!
    With musical songs of praise!
    With three groups !
    Eat it with Matza!
    And bitter herbs in the evening!
    Not cooked in water or raw!
    But only roasted over fire!
    Give thanks to God, for this month will be
    your first month

    Gods strong saving right hand!


    He has shown to save His nation!
    God looked down from His holy abode
    to see!
    The nation wallowing in its blood!
    Blood of the Passover sacrifice and blood
    of circumcision!
    Then He Himself passed !
    Over Egypt and His nation!
    He took out to be free!
    Give thanks to God, for this month will
    be your first month!
    Strong One, quickly send enemies!
    To the sons of Edom and their concubines!
    Make them like cities overturned!
    The cities of Ashurites and Letushites!
    Subdue the enemies pride!
    And to the nation which seeks you send!
    The Lord whom they seek!
    In Nissan, the first of the months!
    Give thanks to God, for this month will
    be your first month
