Returning the Torah to the Ark
Yehalelu et Shem Adonai - Etz Hayim Hi
Y'halelu et shem Adonai,
ki nisgav sh'mo l'vado.
Hodo al eretz v'shamayim,
va-yarem keren l'amo,
t'hilah l'khol hasidav,
livnei yisrael am k'rovo.
Hal'luyah!
,יְהַלְלוּ אֶת שֵׁם יְיָ
.כִּי נִשְׂגָּב שְׁמוֹ לְבַדּוֹ
,הוֹדוֹ עַל אֶֽרֶץ וְשָׁמָֽיִם
,וַיָּֽרֶם קֶֽרֶן לְעַמּוֹ
,תְּהִלָּה לְכָל חֲסִידָיו
.לִבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עַם קְרוֹבוֹ
!הַלְלוּיָהּ
Celebrate the name of Adonai;
God's name alone is exalted.
God's glory encompasses heaven and earth;
God praises the faithful - raising up Israel, the people God keeps close. Halleluyah!
Etz hayim hi la-mahazikim bah,
v'tom'kheha m'ushar.
D'rakheha darkhei no-am,
v'khol n'tivoteha shalom.
Hashiveinu Adonai eilekha v'nashuvah,
hadesh yameinu k'kedem.
,עֵץ חַיִּים הִיא לַמַּחֲזִיקִים בָּהּ
.וְתֹמְכֶֽיהָ מְאֻשָּׁר
,דְּרָכֶֽיהָ דַרְכֵי נֹֽעַם
.וְכָל נְתִיבוֹתֶֽיהָ שָׁלוֹם
,הֲשִׁיבֵֽנוּ יְיָ אֵלֶֽיךָ וְנָשֽׁוּבָה
.חַדֵּשׁ יָמֵֽינוּ כְּקֶֽדֶם
It is a Tree of Life for those who grasp it, and all who hold onto it are blessed. Its ways are pleasant and all its paths are peace. Turn us toward You, Adonai, and we will return to You; make our days seem fresh, as they once were.
