Hebrew Text With Translation

It is our obligation to praise the Master of everything, to ascribe greatness to the Primal Creator

עָלֵינוּ לְשַׁבֵּחַ לַאֲדוֹן הַכֹּל, לָתֵת גְּדֻלָּה לְיוֹצֵר בְּרֵאשִׁית,

for not making us like the nations of the world, nor causing us to be like the families of the earth,

שֶׁלֹּא עָשָׂנוּ כְּגוֹיֵי הָאֲרָצוֹת, וְלֹא שָׂמָנוּ כְּמִשְׁפְּחוֹת הָאֲדָמָה,

for He has not endowed us with a portion like theirs, nor [made] our lot like that of their multitudes.

שֶׁלֹּא שָׂם חֶלְקֵנוּ כָּהֶם, וְגוֹרָלֵנוּ כְּכָל הֲמוֹנָם

For they prostrate themselves before vanity and nothingness.

שֶׁהֵם מִשְׁתַּחֲוִים לְהֶבֶל וְלָרִיק.

But we bend the knee, prostrate ourselves, and give thanks before the King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.

וַאֲנַחְנוּ כּוֹרְעִים וּמִשְׁתַּחֲוִים וּמוֹדִים לִפְנֵי מֶלֶךְ מַלְכֵי הַמְּלָכִים, הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא.

For He extends the heavens and establishes the earth; the seat of His glory is in the heavens above and the abode of His strength is in the loftiest heights.

שֶׁהוּא נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם וְיוֹסֵד אָרֶץ, וּמוֹשַׁב יְקָרוֹ בַּשָּׁמַיִם מִמַּעַל, וּשְׁכִינַת עֻזּוֹ בְּגָבְהֵי מְרוֹמִים.

He is our God, there is no one else. Our King is true; aside from Him, there is nothing. As it is written in His Torah:

הוּא אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֵין עוֹד, אֱמֶת מַלְכֵּנוּ, אֶפֶס זוּלָתוֹ, כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרָתוֹ׃

“Know this day and take unto your heart that God is the Lord;

וְיָדַעְתָּ הַיּוֹם וַהֲשֵׁבֹתָ אֶל לְבָבֶךָ, כִּי יְיָ הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים,

in the heavens above and upon the earth below, there is nothing else.”

בַּשָּׁמַיִם מִמַּעַל וְעַל הָאָרֶץ מִתָּחַת, אֵין עוֹד׃



We therefore put our hope in You, God, our Lord, that we may speedily behold the splendor of Your might,

וְעַל כֵּן נְקַוֶּה לְּךָ יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ, לִרְאוֹת מְהֵרָה בְּתִפְאֶרֶת עֻזֶּךָ,

[that You] remove idols from the earth, [so that] the false deities will be utterly cut off, to perfect the world under the sovereignty of the Almighty.

לְהַעֲבִיר גִּלּוּלִים מִן הָאָרֶץ, וְהָאֱלִילִים כָּרוֹת יִכָּרֵתוּן, לְתַקֵּן עוֹלָם בְּמַלְכוּת שַׁדַּי,

All flesh will invoke Your name, causing all the wicked of the earth to turn to You.

וְכָל בְּנֵי בָשָׂר יִקְרְאוּ בִשְׁמֶךָ, לְהַפְנוֹת אֵלֶיךָ כָּל רִשְׁעֵי אָרֶץ.

All the inhabitants of the earth will recognize and know that every knee should bend to You, [that] every tongue should swear [by Your name].

יַכִּירוּ וְיֵדְעוּ כָּל יוֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל, כִּי לְךָ תִּכְרַע כָּל בֶּרֶךְ, תִּשָּׁבַע כָּל לָשׁוֹן.

Before You, God, our Lord, they will kneel and prostrate themselves and give honor to the glory of Your name.

לְפָנֶיךָ יְיָ אֱלֹהֵינוּ יִכְרְעוּ וְיִפֹּלוּ, וְלִכְבוֹד שִׁמְךָ יְקָר יִתֵּנוּ.

They will all accept upon themselves the yoke of Your kingdom. May You speedily reign over them forever and ever.

וִיקַבְּלוּ כֻלָּם עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת עוֹל מַלְכוּתֶךָ, וְתִמְלוֹךְ עֲלֵיהֶם מְהֵרָה לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד.

For sovereignty is Yours and to all eternity You will reign in glory,

כִּי הַמַּלְכוּת שֶׁלְּךָ הִיא, וּלְעוֹלְמֵי עַד תִּמְלוֹךְ בְּכָבוֹד,

as it is written in Your Torah: “God will reign forever and ever.”

כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרָתֶךָ׃ יְיָ יִמְלֹךְ לְעֹלָם וָעֶד׃

And it is said: “God shall be King over the entire earth. On that day, God will be one, and His name, one.”

וְנֶאֱמַר׃ וְהָיָה יְיָ לְמֶלֶךְ עַל כָּל הָאָרֶץ, בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יִהְיֶה יְיָ אֶחָד וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד׃
