    ‫שׁה נֶ ֶהפְכוּ ְמצוּלִים‬ָ ‫יוֹם ַליּ ַ ָבּ‬ A day when into the dry land depths were
    turned. A new song – so did the redeemed offer

    and unto me became cherished, and for You,

    Anamit (Egypt), while the steps of Shulamit

    For melodies, see piyut.org.il/tradition/english/3219.html. N’kudot, which in some places are unorthodox, are
    based on what appeared to me to be the best version. Some versions have, e.g., ‫ ְוכָל רוֹ ֵאי י ְשׁוּרוּן‬. ‫שׁה‬
    ָ ‫ ַליּ ַ ָבּ‬comes
    from Gen.1:10. (cc)2016
