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 second | וְהוּא 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 |
