Adon aloam asher malach,
b'terem kol y'tsir nivra
l'et na'asa b'cheftso kol,
azai melech sh'mo nik'ra.
V'acharei kichlot hakol,
l'vado yimloch nora,
v'ha haya, v'hu hoveh,
v'hu yih-ye b'tifara.
V'hu echad, v'ein sheini
l'hamshil lo, l'hachbira,
b'li reishit, b'li tachlit,
v'lo ha'oz v'hamisra.
V'hu eili, v'chai goali,

v'hu nisi umanos li,
m'nat kosi b'yom ekra.
B'yado afkid ruchi
b'eit ishan v'a'ira,
v'im ruchi g'viyati.
Adonai li, v'lo ira. |
English Translation
Lord of the world, the King supreme,
ere aught was formed, He reigned alone.
When by His will all things were wrought,
then was His sovereign name made known.
And when in time all things shall cease,
he still shall reign in majesty.
He was, He is, He shall remain
all glorious eternally.
Incomparable, unique is He,
no other can His oneness share.
Without beginning, without end,
dominion’s might is His to bear.
He is my living God who saves,
my rock when frief or trials befall,
my banner and my refuge strong,
my bounteous portion when I call.
My sould I give to His care,
asleep, awake, for He is near,
and with my soul, my body, too;
God is with me, I have no fear. |
