I spy all over this disobedient community
One harlot rescued me
She received me into her house
I have to hide for quite some time

The king's servants are hunting me
I spy on this disobedient community
The destruction of their city
Has been announced beforehand

The great walls of their beloved Jericho
Will soon be crushed by the frequencies
Of the sound waves and vibrations
Caused by the marching feet of Joshua's army

The people can't sleep
Great fear we inflicted
Has eaten the hearts of the residents
The harlot's heart is fearing us
But into her house she welcomed me

My co-spy and I ... will perish
Once the kings's emissaries had caught us;
The harlot's fear infused with her faith
Acted in accordance with our God's will -
The God she doesn't personally know
But in Him she trusts wholeheartedly

Rahab and I had a deal.

Her scarlet cord saved us
We successfully escaped from the city
Time to report to Joshua
The city is in great fear!

This woman was born and shaped
By filthy environment
Will soon be saved by our army
The walls of Jericho will soon become dusts

Courageous Rahab, and her family
Will be kept protected from our attack.
