Shoshanas Yaakov (Purim Liturgy)
Download this song.

The rose of Jacob was cheerful and joyous when they saw together the royal blue of Mordechai's [robe]. You have been their everlasting redemption, and their hope in every generation. To make known, that all who hope in you will not be embarrassed, and those who take refuge in You will never be humiliated. Cursed is Haman who sought to destroy me, blessed is Mordechai the Jew. Cursed is Zeresh, the wife of my tormentor, blessed is Esther [who acted] for me. May Charvonah also be remembered for good.

Arurah Zeresh, eshes mafchidi, beruchah Esther ba'adi, v'gam charvonah zachor latov.
