MIN HAMETZAR


 

Vayehi bayom hashlishi,
bih'yot haboker
vayehi kolot u'vrakim

Ve'anan kaved al hahar,
vekol shofar chazak me'od

Va'yecherad kol ha'am

Chorus:
Min hametzar karati Ka,
anani bamerchav Ka,

Shma koleinu Hashem Elokeinu,
Av harachaman rachem aleinu

Vekabel berachamim uveratzon et tfilateinu,
ki ata shomeya tfilot kol peh

FROM THE DEPTHS


And it was on the Third Day
as morning dawned,
there was thunder and lightning.

And a heavy cloud was on the mountain,
and the sound of the shofar was very strong

And the nation trembled

Chorus:
From the depths I called upon God,
God answered me from his heights.

Hear our voice, Hashem our God.
Compassionate Father, have mercy on us.

And accept our prayers with mercy and goodwill
for it is You who hears the prayers of every mouth.
