רָא֣וּנִי saw rāʾâ נְעָרִ֣ים The young men naʿar וְנֶחְבָּ֑אוּ me, and hid themselves: ḥābāʾ וִֽ֝ישִׁישִׁים and the aged yāšîš קָ֣מוּ arose, qûm עָמָֽדוּ׃ stood up. ʿāmad

שָׂ֭רִים The princes śar עָצְר֣וּ refrained ʿāṣār בְמִלִּ֑ים talking, millâ וְ֝כַ֗ף hand kap יָשִׂ֥ימוּ and laid śûm לְפִיהֶֽם׃ on their mouth. pe
