Adon Olam

Adon olam asher malach b'terem kol y'tzir
niv'ra. L'eit na'asa v'chef'tzo kol, azai melech
sh'mo nikra.
V'aharei kichlot hakol, l'vado yimloch nora.
V'hu hayah, v'hu hoveh, v'hu yih'yeh,
b'tifara.
V'hu echad v'ein sheini, l'hamshil lo
l'hach'bira. B'li reishit b'li tachlit,
v'lo ha'oz v'hamis'ra.
V'hu eili v'chai go'ali, v'tzur chevli b'eit
tzara. V'hu nisi umanis li manat kosi
b'yom ekra.
B'yado afkir ruchi, b'eit ishan v'a'isra.
V'im ruchi g'viyati, Adonai li v'lo ira.
אְַדוֹן עוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר מָלַךְ בְּטֶרֶם כָּל יְצִיר
נִבְרָא. לְעֵת נַעֲשָׂה בְחֶפְצוֹ כֹּל, אֲזַי מֶלֶךְ
שְׁמוֹ נִקְרָא.
וְאַחֲרֵי כִּכְלוֹת הַכֹּל, לְבַדּוֹ יִמְלוֹךְ נוֹרָא.
וְהוּא הָיָה, וְהוּא הֹוֶה, וְהוּא יִהְיֶה,
בְּתִפְאָרָה.
וְהוּא אֶחָד וְאֵין שֵׁנִי, לְהַמְשִׁיל לוֹ
לְהַחְבִּירָה. בְּלִי רֵאשִׁית בְּלִי תַכְלִית,
וְלוֹ הָעֹז וְהַמִּשְׂרָה.
וְהוּא אֵלִי וְחַי גֹּאֲלִי, וְצוּר חֶבְלִי בְּעֵת
צָרָה. וְהוּא נִסִּי וּמָנוֹס לִי מְנַת כּוֹסִי
בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא.
בְּיָדוֹ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי, בְּעֵת אִישַׁן וְאָעִירָה.
וְעִם רוּחִי גְּוִיָּתִי, יְיָ לִי וְלֹא אִירָא.



You are our Eternal God, who reigned before any being had been created; when all was done according to Your will, the You were called "Ruler."

And after all ceases to be, You alone will rule in majesty. You have been, are yet, and will be in glory.

And You are one, none other can compare to or consort with You. You are without beginning, without end. To You belong power and dominion.

And You are my God, my living redeemer, my rock in times of trouble and distress. You are my standard bearer and my refuge, my benefactor when I call on You.

Into Your hands I entrust my spirit, when I sleep and when I wake, and with my spirit my body also; Adonai is with me and I shall not fear.
