וְעַתָּ֡ה כִּמְעַ֣ט רֶ֣גַע הָ֣יְתָה תְחִנָּ֡ה מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֡ה אֱלֹהֵ֡ינוּ לְהַשְׁאִ֡יר לָ֡נוּ פְּלֵיטָ֡ה וְלָ֡תֶת לָ֡נוּ יָתֵ֡ד בִּמְקֹ֡ום קָדְשׁ֡וֹ לְהָאִ֡יר עֵינֵ֡ינוּ אֱלֹהֵ֡ינוּ וּלְתִתֵּ֡נוּ מִחְיָ֡ה מְעַ֣ט בְּעַבְדֻתֵֽנוּ׃

King James Version (KJV)

And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.

Modern English

But now for a brief moment favor has been shown by the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant and to give us a secure hold within his holy place, that our God may brighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our slavery.
