about

[Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur musaf]

lyrics

U-netaneh tokef k’dushat ha-yom, ki hu nora
v’ayom. U-vo tinaseih malkhutekha v’yikon
b’hesed kisekha, v’teishev alav b’emet. Emet
ki ata hu dayan u-mokhi·ah, v’yode·a va-eid
v’khoteiv b’hoteim v’sofeir u-moneh, v’tizkor
kol ha-niskahot. V’tiftah et sefer ha-zikhronot
u-mei-eilav yikarei, v’hotam yad kol adam bo.

U-va-shofar gadol yitaka, v’kol d’mamah
dakah yishama u-malakhim yeihafeizun v’hil
ur’ada yoheizun v’yom’ru hineih yom ha-din,
lifkod al tz’va marom ba-din ki lo yizku
v’einekha ba-din. V’khol ba·ei olam ya·avrun
l’fanekha kivnei maron. K’vakarat ro·eh edro
ma·avir tzono tahat shivto. Ken ta·avir
v’tispor v’timneh v’tifkod nefesh kol hai,
v’tahtokh kitzva l’khol b’riyotekha v’tikhtov
et g’zar dinam.

Let us speak of the sacred power of this
day – profound and awe-inspiring. On it,
Your sovereignty is celebrated, and Your
throne, from which You rule in truth, is
established with love. Truly, You are Judge
and Prosecutor, Expert, and Witness,
completing the indictment, bringing the case,
and enumerating the counts. You recall all
that is forgotten, and will open the book of
remembrance, which speaks for itself,
for our own hands have signed the page.

The great shofar will be sounded and the still
small voice will be heard. Angels will be
alarmed, seized with fear and trembling,
declaring, “This very day is the Day of
Judgment” – for even the hosts of heaven
are judged; no one is innocent in Your sight.
All that lives on earth will pass before You
like a flock of sheep. As a shepherd
examines the flock, making each sheep
pass under the staff; so You will review
and number and count, judging each living
being, determining the fate of everything in
creation, inscribing their destiny.
