Modeh Ani Kol Boker

Modeh ani kol boker (I offer my thanks to You every morning)
Shehehezarta et nishmati (For having returned my soul to me.)
Modeh ani al beged (I offer my thanks to You for clothes)
Shehenahta al gufi (that you have laid on my body)
Shelo yih'yeh li kar ata shomer alai (So that I will not be cold; You protect me.)

Modeh ani kol boker (I offer my thanks to You every morning)
Al ha-or al etzem heyoti (For the light, for the fact that I am alive)
Modeh ani al lehem (I offer my thanks for bread)
Shehenahta l’shulhani (that You have put on my table)
Shelo eh'yeh ra-av shelo eida k'ev (so that I won’t experience hunger, nor feel pain)

Al ein s’for hiyukhai modeh ani (I offer my thanks to You for countless smiles)
Al kol kishronotai v'al kol shirai (For all my talents and for all my songs)
V'al kol shirai et kulam akdish l’kha (and all of my songs are dedicated to You)
Da l’kha, da l’kha she-modeh ani l’kha (Know, know that I thank You)

Etzak l’kha adir shimkha eleikha ekra Yah (I will cry out to You, Your glorious name, I will call out to You)
L’kha hayai lekha libi v’todati (For You my life and my thanks)
Eleikha ekra Yah, eleikha ekra Yah (I will call out to Yah, I will call out to Yah.)

Modeh ani kol boker (I offer my thanks to You every morning)
Al kokhi, al avi v'al imi (For my strength, for my father and for my mother,)
Modeh ani al geshem shenatata besdotai (I offer my thanks for the rain You poured on my fields)
Lidog l'ohavai natata li hayi (to care for my loved ones; You gave me life.)

Al yom ha-m’nuha modeh ani (For the day of rest, I give thanks)
Al shefa u-berkha al ha-mishpakha (for abundance and blessing for my family)
Kol kuli rak b’zkut’kha (All that I am is because of You)
Da l’kha, da l’kha she-modeh ani l’kha ((Know, know that I thank You)

Etzak l’kha adir shimkha eleikha ekra Yah (I will cry out to You, Your glorious name, I will call out to You)
L’kha hayai lekha libi v’todati (For You my life and my thanks)
Eleikha ekra Yah, eleikha ekra Yah (I will call out to Yah, I will call out to Yah.)

Yai dai dai…

Al kol kishlonotai modeh ani (For all my failures, I give You thanks;)
Al akzavutai pahadai u-m’kshulai (for every letdown, fear, and setback,)
Hem kulam l’tovati (They are all for my good)
Ein aher b’livi rak l’kha modeh ani (There is no other in my heart; to You only I give thanks.)

Etzak l’kha adir shimkha eleikha ekra Yah (I will cry out to You, Your glorious name, I will call out to You)
L’kha hayai lekha libi v’todati (For You my life and my thanks)
Eleikha ekra Yah, eleikha ekra Yah (I will call out to Yah, I will call out to Yah.)
