Rabbi Flow's manuscript of this song (reproduced in "Chwat") varies in several spots from the conventional text. The Hebrew and English text used in the "Koren Sacks Siddur" (2009) followed this manuscript—although the "Authorised Daily Prayer Book" (4th ed. 2006, pages 576-577) translated and annotated by the same Rabbi Jonathan Sacks used the conventional printed text. The significant changes include: Verse 2, line 6, שׁפחת "shifḥas" (your maidservant) replacing "simḥas" (gladness, joy), and the pronoun "her" with "your", so the line would read "She will be your maidservant for eternity," mirroring the phrasing in , והיה לך עבד עולם (he will be your slave forever), but in feminine. (This was also the reading in the 1601 first publication.)
