Aneini ... Answer me!

 A song of David Ha'Melech, to make Memorial.

O Ha'Shem, rebuke me not in Thine anger, neither chasten me in Thy wrath.

For Thine arrows are gone deep into me, and Thy hand is come down upon me.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Thine indignation,  

Neither is there any health in my bones because of my aveirah.

For mine iniquities are gone over my head, as a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.

My wounds are noisome, putrid, they fester, because of my foolishness.
I am bent and bowed down greatly, I go mourning all the day in gloom.

For my loins are full of self-effacement, there is no soundness in my flesh.

I am benumbed and sore crushed; I groan by reason of the moaning of my heart.

Ha'Shem all my desire is before Thee,  and my sighing is not hid from Thee.
My heart fluttereth, and is engulfed, my strength faileth me,  
As for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.

My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my affliction, and those close to me stood afar.

They also that seek after my life lay snares for me,  

And they that seek my hurt speak crafty devices, and utter deceits all the day.

But I am as a deaf girl, I hear not, and I am as a dumb girl that openeth not her mouth.
Yea, I am become as a girl that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no arguments.
For in Thee, Ha'Shem, do I hope.  Thou wilt answer, O Ha'Shem my G*d.
For I said: 'Lest they rejoice over me; when my foot faltereth, they magnify themselves against me.'

For I am ready to halt, and my pain is continually before me.

For I do declare mine iniquity, I am full of care because of my aveirah.

But mine enemies are strong in health, and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.

They also that repay evil for good are adversaries unto me .......

Forsake me not, Ha'Shem,  O my G*d, be not far from me.
Make haste to help me, O Ha'Shem, Yishecha!

Shirat Ha' Yam ~ Song of the Sea!!

Miriam appears in Torah as a prophetess,  the sister of Moshe and Aaron (Shemot 15:20). 
Miriam means "bitter sea" because she was born at a time when the lives of  Jews were embittered in Mitzrayim.  Miriam, however, remained sweet despite the hardships around her, giving Jews courage in those difficult times. (Midrash Yalkut Shimoni ~ Exodus 165)

We sing when we are pining after one we love, when we are yearning for better times, when we are celebrating an achievement or anticipating a revelation. We sing when we are striving for something, Song is our Quest for Redemption.

Then Moshe and the children of Israel sang this song to Ha'Shem, 

and they spoke, saying, I will sing to Ha'Shem,  for very exalted is He,  

A horse and its rider He cast into the sea.
The Eternal's strength and His vengeance were my salvation,  this is my G*d, and I will make Him a habitation,  The G*d of my father,  

and I will ascribe to Him exaltation.
Ha'Shem is a Master of war, Ha'Shem is His Name.

Pharaoh's chariots and his army He cast into the sea,  

The elite of his officers sank in the Red Sea.
The depths covered them,  they descended into the depths like a stone.

Your right hand, O Ha'Shem, is most powerful,  

Your right hand, Ha'Shem, crushes the foe.
And with Your great pride You tear down those who rise up against You, 

You send forth Your burning wrath,  it devours them like straw.
And with the breath of Your nostrils the waters were heaped up,  

The running water stood erect like a wall,  

The depths congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said, I will pursue,  I will overtake,  I will share the booty.  

My desire will be filled from them,  I will draw my sword,  

My hand will impoverish them.

You blew with Your wind,  the sea covered them,  

They sank like lead in the powerful waters.
Who is like You among the powerful, O Ha'Shem?  

Who is like You,  powerful in the holy place?  

Too awesome for praises,  performing wonders!
You inclined Your right hand,  the earth swallowed them up.

With Your loving kindness You led the people You redeemed, 

You led with Your might to Your holy abode.
People heard, they trembled, a shudder seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

Then the chieftains of Edom were startled,  the powerful men of Moab,  

 Trembling seized them,  all the inhabitants of Canaan melted.

May dread and fright fall upon them, with the arm of Your greatness 

May they become as still as a stone,  until Your people cross over,  Ha'Shem, 

Until this nation that You have acquired crosses over.
You shall bring them and plant them on the mount of Your heritage, 

directed toward Your habitation, which You made, Ha'Shem, 

The sanctuary, Ha'Shem Your hands founded.
Ha'Shem will reign to all eternity.

"Save me Ha'Shem,  for the waters have reached the point of taking my soul."  
~ Parsha Naso ~
