Yigdal
Read transliteration
Yigdal Elohim khai v’yish-tabakh, nimtza v’eyn yet el m’tzi-uto.
Ekhad v’eyn yakhid k’yi-khudo, ne-lam v’gam eyn sof l’akh-duto.
Eyn lo d’mut ha-guf v’eyno guf, lo na-arokh eylav k’dushato.
Kadmon l’khol davar asher niv-ra, rishon v’eyn reyshit l’reyshito.
Hino adon olam v’khol notzar, yoreh g’dulatou-mal-khuto.
She-fa n’vu-ato n’tano, el an-shey s’gulato v’tif-arto.
Lo kam b’yisrael k’moshe od, navi u-mabit et t’munato.
Torat emet natan l’amo Eyl, al yad n’vi-o ne-eman beyto.
Lo yakha-lif ha-Eyl v’lo yamir dato, l’olamim l’zulato.
Tzo-feh v’yo-dey-a s’ta-reynu, ma-bit l’sof davar b’kad-mato.
Gomeyl l’ish khesed k’mif-alo, noteyn l’rasha ra k’rish-ato.
Yish-lakh l’keytz yamin m’shi-kheynu, lifdot m’khakey keytz y’shu-ato.
Meytim y’kha-yeh Eyl b’rov khasdo, barukh adey ad sheym t’hilato.

La-donai ha-aretz u-m’lo-ah, tey-veyl v’yosh-vey vah.
Ki hu al yamim y’sadah, v’al n’harot y’khon’neha.
Mi ya-aleh v’har Adonai, u-mi yakum bi-m’kom kod-sho.
N’ki kh-pa-yim uvar ley-vav, asher lo nasa la-shav naf-shi, v’lo nish-ba l’mir-mah.
Yisa v’rakhah mey-yet Adonai, u-tz’dakah mey-Elohey yi-sho.
Ze dor dor-shav, m’vak-shey fa-nekha ya-akov, Selah.
Se-u sh’arim ro-shey-khem, v’hinasu pit-khey olam, v’yavo melekh ha-kavod.
Mi zeh melekh ha-kavod, Adonai izuz v’gibor, Adonai gibor mil-khama.
Se-u sh’arim ro-shey-khem, us-u pit-khey olam, v’yavo melekh ha-kavod.
Mi hu zeh melekh ha-kavod, Adonai tz’va-ot hu melekh ha-kavod, Selah.
