lyrics

Adon Olam
וְהוּא אֵלִי וְחַי גּוֹאֲלִי,
וְצוּר חֶבְלִי בְּעֵת צָרָה.
וְהוּא נִסִּי וּמָנוֹס לִי,
מְנָת כּוֹסִי בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא.

בְּיָדוֹ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי,
בְּעֵת אִישָׁן וְאָעִירָה.
וְעִם רוּחִי גְוִיָּתִי,
אֲדֹנָי לִי וְלֹא אִירָא.


אֲדוֹן עוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר מָלַךְ,
בְּטֶרֶם כָּל יְצִיר נִבְרָא.
לְעֵת נַעֲשָׂה בְחֶפְצוֹ כֹּל,
אֲזַי מֶלֶךְ שְׁמוֹ נִקְרָא.

וְאַחֲרֵי כִּכְלוֹת הַכֹּל,
לְבַדּוֹ יִמְלוֹךְ נוֹרָא.
וְהוּא הָיָה וְהוּא הֹוֶה,
וְהוּא יִהְיֶה בְּתִפְאָרָה.

וְהוּא אֶחָד וְאֵין שֵׁנִי
לְהַמְשִׁיל לוֹ לְהַחְבִּירָה
בְּלִי רֵאשִׁית בְּלִי תַכְלִית
וְלוֹ הָעֹז וְהַמִּשְׂרָה

Adon olam asher malakh
b’terem kol y’tzir nivra.
L’et na·asah v’heftzo kol
azai melekh sh’mo nikra.

V’aharei ki-kh’lot ha-kol
l’vado yimlokh nora.
V’hu hayah v’hu hoveh
v’hu yihyeh b’tifarah.

V’hu ehad v’ein sheini
l’hamshil lo l’hahbirah.
B’li reishit b’li takhlit
v’lo ha-oz v’ha-misrah.

V’hu eli v’hai go·ali
v’tzur hevli b’et tzarah.
V’hu nisi u-manos li
m’nat kosi b’yom ekra.

B’yado afkid ruhi
b’eit ishan v’a·irah.
V’im ruhi g’viyati
Adonai li v’lo ira.
Before creation shaped the world, eternally God reigned alone;
but only with creation done could God as Sovereign be known.

When all is ended, God alone will reign in wondrous majesty.
God was, God is, always will be glorious in eternity.

God is unique and without peer, with none at all to be compared.
Without beginning, endlessly, God’s vast dominion is not shared.

But still--my God, my only hope, my one true refuge in distress,
My shelter sure, my cup of life, with goodness real and limitless.

I place my spirit in God’s care; my body too can feel God near.
When I sleep, as when I wake, God is with me, I have no fear.
