Adon Olam

Adon olam, asher malach, beterem kol, yatzir nivra. Leet naasah vecheftzo kol, azai melech shemo nikra.
Veacharey kichlot hakol, levado yimloch nora. Vehu haya, vehu hoveh, vehu yihyeh betifara.
Vehu echad, veeyn sheni lehamshil lo, lehachbira. Beli reishit, beli tachlit, velo haoz vehamisrah.
Vehu Eli, vechai goali, vetzur chevli beet tzarah. Vehu nisi umanos li, menat kosi beyom ekra. Beyado afkid ruchi beet ishan veairah. Veim ruchi geviyati, Adonai li velo ira.
