Hebrew TextAdon ha-kol mchayeh kol nshama ytzav chasdo l-vat nadiv chachama

Shmuatam ltov kulam brurim v-lahem nichsfa nafshi bteima

English TranslationEnlivening the soul, Master of Everything Shall command His compassion, Wisdom to the
noblemans wise daughter
Shrouded in cloud, appearance as glory Tilting he branches of the entire earth
You shall arouse raging waves at the seas bound Disappearing in His shade with Her Beloved
With Her Mate charm, shall He lead our tribe Her virtue is glorious and exalted
From the ends of the earth, all of you shall hear songs
From the east and inland sea, Righteous Gazelle
Always upright, following the just path Innocent are they, without sin or guilt
Their teachings clearly for the good of all So astonished does my soul yearn for them
Send us our Beloved, O Balm of Gilead Maiden and Mate shall be rejoiced in Zion
Recording by the Shlomo Dchayani
