This video<\/a>\u00a0presents a simple, clear version of the most popular melody for Eishet Chayil,\u00a0composed by Ben Zion Shenker<\/a> in 1953. With on screen\u00a0Hebrew, English and transliterated lyrics of the text from Proverbs 31, this video is a helpful resource for anyone who wants to learn how to sing along. Eishet Chayil is traditionally sung at the Shabbat table on Friday night prior to Kiddush, as both a literal song of praise to the woman of the house as well as an allegorical song to the personified “Sabbath Queen.” This video is produced by the Messianic Jewish organization,\u00a0Vine of David.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

A Woman of Valor, who can find? She is more precious than corals.
\nHer husband places his trust in her and profits only thereby.
\nShe brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
\nShe seeks out wool and flax and cheerfully does the work of her hands.
\nShe is like the trading ships, bringing food from afar.
\nShe gets up while it is still night to provide food for her household, and a fair share for her staff.
\nShe considers a field and purchases it, and plants a vineyard with the fruit of her labors.
\nShe invests herself with strength and makes her arms powerful.
\nShe senses that her trade is profitable; her light does not go out at night.
\nShe stretches out her hands to the distaff and her palms hold the spindle.
\nShe opens her hands to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.
\nShe has no fear of the snow for her household, for all her household is dressed in fine clothing.
\nShe makes her own bedspreads; her clothing is of fine linen and luxurious cloth.
\nHer husband is known at the gates, where he sits with the elders of the land.
\nShe makes and sells linens; she supplies the merchants with sashes.
\nShe is robed in strength and dignity, and she smiles at the future.
\nShe opens her mouth with wisdom and a lesson of kindness is on her tongue.
\nShe looks after the conduct of her household and never tastes the bread of laziness.
\nHer children rise up and make her happy; her husband praises her:
\n“Many women have excelled, but you excell them all!”
\nGrace is elusive and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears God — she shall be praised.
\nGive her credit for the fruit of her labors, and let her achievements praise her at the gates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
