Israel’s Kingdom Blessing

1

נָכ֣וֹן לִבִּ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים אָשִׁ֥ירָה וַ֝אֲזַמְּרָ֗ה אַף־כְּבוֹדִֽי׃

My heart is steadfast, O God; I will sing and make music with all my being.

3

אוֹדְךָ֖ בָעַמִּ֥ים׀ יְהוָ֑ה וַ֝אֲזַמֶּרְךָ֗ בָּלְאֻמִּים׃

I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.

4

כִּֽי־גָד֣וֹל מֵֽעַל־שָׁמַ֣יִם חַסְדֶּ֑ךָ וְֽעַד־שְׁחָקִ֥ים אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃

For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

5

ר֣וּמָה עַל־שָׁמַ֣יִם אֱלֹהִ֑ים וְעַ֖ל כָּל־הָאָ֣רֶץ כְּבוֹדֶֽךָ׃

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.

6

לְ֭מַעַן יֵחָלְצ֣וּן יְדִידֶ֑יךָ הוֹשִׁ֖יעָה יְמִֽינְךָ֣ וַעֲנֵֽנִי׃

Respond and save us with Your right hand, that Your beloved may be delivered.

7

אֱלֹהִ֤ים׀ דִּבֶּ֥ר בְּקָדְשׁ֗וֹ אֶעְלֹ֥זָה אֲחַלְּקָ֥ה שְׁכֶ֑ם וְעֵ֖מֶק סֻכּ֣וֹת אֲמַדֵּֽד׃

God has spoken from His sanctuary: “I will triumph! I will parcel out Shechem and apportion the Valley of Succoth.

8

לִ֤י גִלְעָ֨ד׀ לִ֤י מְנַשֶּׁ֗ה וְ֭אֶפְרַיִם מָע֣וֹז רֹאשִׁ֑י יְ֝הוּדָ֗ה מְחֹקְקִֽי׃

Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim is My helmet, Judah is My scepter.

9

מוֹאָ֤ב׀ סִ֬יר רַחְצִ֗י עַל־אֱ֭דוֹם אַשְׁלִ֣יךְ נַעֲלִ֑י עֲלֵֽי־פְ֝לֶ֗שֶׁת אֶתְרוֹעָֽע׃

Moab is My washbasin; upon Edom I toss My sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”

10

מִ֣י יֹ֭בִלֵנִי עִ֣יר מִבְצָ֑ר מִ֖י נָחַ֣נִי עַד־אֱדֽוֹם׃

Who will bring me to the fortified city? Who will lead me to Edom?

11

הֲלֹֽא־אֱלֹהִ֥ים זְנַחְתָּ֑נוּ וְֽלֹא־תֵצֵ֥א אֱ֝לֹהִ֗ים בְּצִבְאֹתֵֽינוּ׃

Have You not rejected us, O God? Will You no longer march out, O God, with our armies?

12

הָֽבָה־לָּ֣נוּ עֶזְרָ֣ת מִצָּ֑ר וְ֝שָׁ֗וְא תְּשׁוּעַ֥ת אָדָֽם׃

Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless.

13

בֵּֽאלֹהִ֥ים נַעֲשֶׂה־חָ֑יִל וְ֝ה֗וּא יָב֥וּס צָרֵֽינוּ׃

With God we will perform with valor, and He will trample our enemies.
