Lyrics
Min Hametzar
ה' לִי לֹא אִירָא
(Psalm 118)
Min hametzar karati Yah
Anani vamerhav Yah
Hashem li lo ira
From a narrow place I called to You
You answered in Your expansiveness
You are with me so I have no fear
I have no fear at all
Elokai
עֹשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם בִּמְרוֹמָיו, הוּא יַעֲשֶׂה שָׁלוֹם
עָלֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְאִמְרוּ אָמֵן
Elokai nitzor lishoni meirah
Usfatay midaber mirmah
Oseh shalom bimromav
Hu ya’aseh shalom aleinu
V’al kol yisrael v’imru amen
My God, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceitfully
May the One who makes peace in high places make peace for us and all of Israel
And let us say: Amen
Hodu Lo
Hodu lo borchu shemo
Thank Him, bless His name!
Nigun (Wordless Tune)/Blessing over the Candles
Blessed are You, Adonai, who has sanctified us with commandments and commanded us to light Shabbat candles.
Hinei Mah Tov
Hinei mah tov umani’im shevet achim gam yachad
How great it is to work together in the service of the world!
Yah Ribon
Yah ribon alam v’al’maya ant hu malka melekh malkhaya.
God, Sovereign of all the Worlds, You are the Ruler, above all rulers.
Adon Olam
לְעֵת נַעֲשָׂה בְחֶפְצוֹ כֹּל אֲזַי מֶלֶךְ שְׁמוֹ נִקְרָא
וְאַחֲרֵי כִּכְלוֹת הַכֹּל לְבַדּוֹ יִמְלֹךְ נוֹרָא
וְהוּא הָיָה וְהוּא הֹוֶה וְהוּא יִהְיֶה בְּתִפְאָרָה
וְהוּא אֶחָד וְאֵין שֵׁנִי לְהַמְשִׁילוֹ וּלְהַחְבִּירָה
בְּלִי רֵאשִׁית בְּלִי תַכְלִית וְלוֹ הָעֹז וְהַמִּשְׂרָה
וְהוּא אֵלִי וְחַי גּוֹאֲלִי וְצוּר חֶבְלִי בְּיוֹם צָרָה
וְהוּא נִסִּי וּמָנוּסִי מְנָת כּוֹסִי בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא
. בְּיָדוֹ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי, בְּעֵת אִישַׁן וְאָעִירָה
וְעִם רוּחִי גְּוִיָּתִי,ה' לִי וְלֹא אִירָא
Liayt nasa becheftzo kol azai melech shemo nikra
Vi’acharei kichlot hakol livado yimloch nora
Vehu haya vehu hoveh vehu yih’yeh biteefarah
Vehu echad vi’ayn shayni lehamshilo lehachbira
Beli rayshit beli tachlit velo ha’oz vi’hamisra
Vehu ayli vichai goali vetzur chevli biayt tzara
Vehu neesi umanot liminat kosi biyom ekrah
Beyado afkid ruchi biayt eeshan veoeera
Vi’eem ruchi geviyati adon-nay li vi’lo eera
The Lord of the Universe who reigned before anything was created.
When all was made by his will He was acknowledged as King.
And when all shall end He still all alone shall reign.
He was, He is, and He shall be in glory.
And He is one, and there's no other, to compare or join Him.
Without beginning, without end and to Him belongs diminion and power.
And He is my G-d, my living G-d. To Him I flee in time of grief,
and He is my miracle and my refuge, who answers the day I shall call.
To Him I commit my spirit, whenI am asleep and when I am awake.
To Him I commend my body and spirit. God is with me, I shall not fear.
