ACHAT SHA'ALTI

ONE THING I HAVE ASKED

Achat sha'alti me'et Hashem
otah avakesh me'et Hashem
(x2)

Shivti beveit hashem
kol yemey chayay,
lach'zot beno'am hashem
ulevaker beheichalo.


Ashkenazic:
Achat shoalti me'eis hashem
osa avakesh (me'eish hashem)
(x2)

Shvit beveis hashem
kol yemei chayay
lach'zois beno'om hashem
ulevoker beheicholo.

One thing have I asked of the Lord,
that will I seek after:


That I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to behold the graciousness of the Lord,
and to visit early in His temple.
