Yatzanu lir'kod, li ba'ozen at locheshet sod
shemachar bich'lal lo ba lach la'avod o la'amod
"rak lihyot itcha od"

Baderech lasham, lanu lo echpat meha'olam
mah shemitchasehk osim lifnei kulam
kamah mushlam, "kef lihyot itcha stam"

At mistovevet, at mesovevet et kulam
at lo mut'redet, yesh lach et kol ha'olam
at mehapnetet et kol mi shemebit lir'ot
eich at rokedet ve'ein li mah la'asot
