לַמְנַצֵּֽחַ בִּנְגִינוֹת מִזְמוֹר שִׁיר:

For the choirmaster, a song with instrumental music, a psalm.

אֱלֹהִים יְחָנֵּֽנוּ וִיבָרְכֵֽנוּ יָאֵר פָּנָיו אִתָּֽנוּ סֶֽלָה:

May God be gracious to us and bless us, may He make His countenance shine upon us forever,

לָדַֽעַת בָּאָֽרֶץ דַּרְכֶּֽךָ בְּכָל־גּוֹיִם יְשׁוּעָתֶֽךָ:

that Your way be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations.

יוֹדֽוּךָ עַמִּים אֱלֹהִים יוֹדֽוּךָ עַמִּים כֻּלָּם:

The nations will extol You, O God; all the nations will extol You.

יִשְׂמְחוּ וִירַנְּנוּ לְאֻמִּים כִּי־תִשְׁפּוֹט עַמִּים מִישׁוֹר וּלְאֻמִּים בָּאָֽרֶץ תַּנְחֵם סֶֽלָה:

The nations will rejoice and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples justly and guide the nations on earth forever.

יוֹדֽוּךָ עַמִּים אֱלֹהִים יוֹדֽוּךָ עַמִּים כֻּלָּם:

The peoples will extol You, O God; all the peoples will extol You,

אֶֽרֶץ נָתְנָה יְבוּלָהּ יְבָרְכֵֽנוּ אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ:

for the earth will have yielded its produce, and God, our God, will bless us.

יְבָרְכֵֽנוּ אֱלֹהִים וְיִירְאוּ אוֹתוֹ כָּל־אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ:

God will bless us; and all, from the furthest corners of the earth, shall fear Him.

עָלֵֽינוּ לְשַׁבֵּֽחַ לַאֲדוֹן הַכֹּל,

It is incumbent upon us to praise the Master of all things,

לָתֵת גְּדֻלָּה לְיוֹצֵר בְּרֵאשִׁית,

to exalt the Creator of all existence,

שֶׁלֺּא עָשָֽׂנוּ כְּגוֹיֵי הָאֲרָצוֹת,

that He has not made us like the nations of the world,

וְלֺא שָׂמָֽנוּ כְּמִשְׁפְּחוֹת הָאֲדָמָה,

nor caused us to be like the families of the earth;

שֶׁלֺּא שָׂם חֶלְקֵֽנוּ כָּהֶם,

that He has not assigned us a portion like theirs,

וְגוֹרָלֵֽנוּ כְּכָל־הֲמוֹנָם,

nor a lot like that of all their multitudes,

שֶׁהֵם מִשְׁתַּחֲוִים לְהֶֽבֶל וְלָרִיק:

for they bow to vanity and nothingness.

וַאֲנַֽחְנוּ כּוֹרְעִים וּמִשְׁתַּחֲוִים וּמוֹדִים,

But we bend the knee, bow down, and offer praise

לִפְנֵי מֶֽלֶךְ מַלְכֵי הַמְּלָכִים, הַקָּדוֹשׁ, בָּרוּךְ הוּא:

before the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He,

שֶׁהוּא נוֹטֶה שָׁמַֽיִם וְיוֹסֵד אָֽרֶץ,

who stretches forth the heavens and establishes the earth,

וּמוֹשַׁב יְקָרוֹ בַּשָּׁמַֽיִם מִמַּֽעַל,

the seat of whose glory is in the heavens above,

וּשְׁכִינַת עֻזּוֹ בְּגָבְהֵי מְרוֹמִים,

and the abode of whose majesty is in the loftiest heights.

הוּא אֱלֺהֵֽינוּ אֵין עוֹד,

He is our God; there is none else.

אֱמֶת מַלְכֵּֽנוּ, אֶֽפֶס זוּלָתוֹ,

Truly, He is our King; there is nothing besides Him,

כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרָתוֹ:

as it is written in His Torah:

וְיָדַעְתָּ הַיּוֹם וַהֲשֵׁבֹתָ אֶל־לְבָבֶֽךָ,

Know this day and take unto your heart

כִּי יְיָ הוּא הָאֱלֺהִים בַּשָּׁמַֽיִם מִמַּֽעַל,

that the Lord is God; in the heavens above

וְעַל־הָאָֽרֶץ מִתָּֽחַת, אֵין עוֹד:

and upon the earth below there is nothing else.

וְעַל־כֵּן נְקַוֶּה לְךָ יְיָ אֱלֺהֵֽינוּ,

And therefore we hope to You, Lord our God,

לִרְאוֹת מְהֵרָה בְּתִפְאֶֽרֶת עֻזֶּֽךָ,

that we may speedily behold the splendor of Your might,

לְהַעֲבִיר גִּלּוּלִים מִן הָאָֽרֶץ וְהָאֱלִילִים כָּרוֹת יִכָּרֵתוּן,

to banish idolatry from the earth—and false gods will be utterly destroyed;

לְתַקֵּן עוֹלָם בְּמַלְכוּת שַׁדַּי:

to perfect the world under the sovereignty of the Almighty.

וְכָל־בְּנֵי־בָשָׂר יִקְרְאוּ בִשְׁמֶֽךָ,

All mankind shall invoke Your Name,

לְהַפְנוֹת אֵלֶֽיךָ כָּל־רִשְׁעֵי אָֽרֶץ.

to turn to You all the wicked of the earth.

יַכִּֽירוּ וְיֵדְעוּ כָּל־יוֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל,

Then all the inhabitants of the world will recognize and know

כִּי־לְךָ תִכְרַע כָּל־בֶּֽרֶךְ,

that every knee should bend to You,

תִּשָּׁבַע כָּל־לָשׁוֹן:

every tongue should swear [by Your Name].

לְפָנֶֽיךָ יְיָ אֱלֺהֵֽינוּ יִכְרְעוּ וְיִפּֽוֹלוּ,

Before You, Lord our God, they will bow and prostrate themselves,

וְלִכְבוֹד שִׁמְךָ יְקָר יִתֵּֽנוּ,

and give honor to the glory of Your Name;

וִיקַבְּלוּ כֻלָּם עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת־עוֹל מַלְכוּתֶֽךָ,

and they will all take upon themselves the yoke of Your kingdom.

וְתִמְלוֹךְ עֲלֵיהֶם מְהֵרָה לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד,

May You soon reign over them forever and ever,

כִּי הַמַּלְכוּת שֶׁלְּךָ הִיא,

for kingship is Yours,

וּלְעֽוֹלְמֵי עַד תִּמְלוֹךְ בְּכָבוֹד,

and to all eternity You will reign in glory,

כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרָתֶֽךָ:

as it is written in Your Torah:

יְיָ יִמְלֺךְ לְעֹלָם וָעֶד.

The Lord will reign forever and ever.

וְנֶאֱמַר:

And it is said:

וְהָיָה יְיָ לְמֶֽלֶךְ עַל־כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ,

The Lord will be King over the entire earth;

בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיֶה יְיָ אֶחָד וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד:

on that day the Lord will be One and His Name One.

יִתְגַּדַּֽל וְיִתְקַדַּֽשׁ שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּֽא. (אמן)

Exalted and hallowed be His great Name (Amen)

בְּעָלְמָֽא דִּי בְרָֽא כִרְעוּתֵהּ

throughout the world which He has created according to His will.

וְיַמְלִֽיךְ מַלְכוּתֵֽהּ,

May He establish His kingship,

וְיַצְמַח פּוּרְקָנֵהּ וִיקָרֵב מְשִׁיחֵהּ. (אמן)

bring forth His redemption and hasten the coming of His Mashiach (Amen)

בְּחַיֵּיכוֹן וּבְיוֹמֵיכוֹן

in your lifetime and in your days

וּבְחַיֵּֽי דְכָל־בֵּֽית יִשְׂרָאֵֽל,

and in the lifetime of the entire House of Israel,

בַּעֲגָלָא וּבִזְמַֽן קָרִיב

speedily and soon,

וְאִמְרֽוּ אָמֵֽן:

and say, Amen. (Amen. May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed.)

יְהֵא שְׁמֵהּ רַבָּֽא מְבָרַֽךְ לְעָלַֽם וּלְעָלְמֵֽי עָלְמַיָּֽא.

May His great Name be blessed forever and to all eternity. Blessed

יִתְבָּרֵֽךְ, וְיִשְׁתַּבַּֽח, וְיִתְפָּאֵֽר, וְיִתְרוֹמָֽם, וְיִתְנַשֵּֽׂא, וְיִתְהַדָּֽר, וְיִתְעַלֶּֽה, וְיִתְהַלָּֽל,

and praised, glorified, exalted and extolled, honored, adored and lauded

שְׁמֵהּ דְקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא. (אמן)

be the Name of the Holy One, blessed be He, (Amen)

לְעֵֽלָּא מִן כָּל־בִּרְכָתָא וְשִׁירָתָא, תֻּשְׁבְּחָתָא וְנֶחֱמָתָא,

beyond all the blessings, hymns, praises and consolations

דַּאֲמִירָן בְּעָלְמָֽא, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן:

that are uttered in the world; and say, Amen. (Amen)

אַל־תִּירָא מִפַּחַד פִּתאֹם,

Do not fear sudden terror,

וּמִשֹׁאַת רְשָׁעִים כִּי תָבֹא:

nor the destruction of the wicked when it comes.

עֻֽצוּ עֵצָה וְתֻפָר,

Contrive a scheme, but it will be foiled;

דַּבְּרוּ דָבָר וְלֹא יָקוּם כִּי עִמָּנוּ אֵל:

conspire a plot, but it will not materialize, for God is with us.

וְעַד זִקְנָה אֲנִי הוּא,

To your old age I am [with you];

וְעַד שֵׂיבָה אֲנִי אֶסְבֹּל:

to your hoary years I will sustain you;

אֲנִי עָשִֽׂיתִי וַאֲנִי אֶשָׂא

I have made you, and I will carry you;

וַאֲנִי אֶסְבֹּל וַאֲמַלֵּט:

I will sustain you and deliver you.

אַךְ צַדִּיקִים יוֹדוּ לִשְׁמֶךָ

Indeed, the righteous will extol Your Name;

יֵשְׁבוּ יְשָׁרִים אֶת־פָּנֶיךָ׃

the upright will dwell in Your presence.
