Va-ani t'filati l'ha Adonai eyt ratzon.
Elohim b'rov has-deha aneyni be-emet yish-eha.

How goodly are your dwellings, O Jacob,
Your sanctuaries, O Israel.
Thanks to Your abundant kindness, O Lord,
I am able to enter Your house.
To bow down before Your in reverence.
In this sacred place of worship.
Lord, I love to be in Your house,
The sanctuary dedicated to Your glory.
Here I worship in Your presence,
O Lord, my maker.
In kindness, Lord, answer my prayer;
Mercifully, grant me Your abiding help |
