Adon Olam

Cantor Azi Schwartz in Park Avenue Synagogue

Eternal Lord Who reigns supreme,אֲדוֹן עוֹלָם אֲשֶר מָלַךְ
When no other beings had yet been created,.בְטֶרֶם כָל יְצִיר נִבְרָא
At the time when everything was created by Your will,,לְעֵת נַעֲשָה בְחֶפְצוֹ כֹל
Then were you proclaimed “Ruler.”.אֲזַי מֶלֶךְ שְמוֹ נִקְרָא

And after all things shall have had an end,,וְאַחֲרֵי כִכְלוֹת הַכֹל
You will rule alone, in awesomeness.לְבַדּוֹ יִמְלוֹךְ נוֹרָא
Who was, Who is,,וְהוּא הָיָה, וְהוּא הֹוֶה
And who will be in glory..וְהוּא יִהְיֶה, בְתִפְאָרָה

You are One; There is no secondוְהוּא אֶחָד וְאֵין שֵנִי,
To be compared to You, or to be Your equal:.לְהַמְשִיל לוֹ לְהַחְבִירָה
Without beginning, without end:,בְלִי רֵאשִית בְלִי תַכְלִית
Power and dominion are Yours.וְלוֹ הָעֹז וְהַמִשְרָה.

You are my God; my living Redeemer,וְהוּא אֵלִי וְחַי גֹאֲלִי,
My rock when I have pain and trouble;.וְצוּר חֶבְלִי בְעֵת צָרָה
You are my banner and my refuge,,וְהוּא נִסִי וּמָנוֹס לִי
The portion of my cup on the day when I call.מְנָת כּוֹסִי בְיוֹם אֶקְרָא

Into Your hand I commit my spirit,,בְיָדוֹ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי
When I sleep and when I wake;.בְעֵת אִישַן וְאָעִירָה
And with my spirit, my body also:וְעִם רוּחִי גְוִיָתִי
Adonai, You are with me, and I shall not fear..יְיָ לִי וְלֹא אִירָא
