LYRICS

(L’MAANCHA / למענך)

L’maancha Elokeinu, aseh velo lanu
למענך אלקינו עשה ולא לנו
Act for Your own sake, our G-d, and not for ours

Re’eh amidatenu, dalim vereikim
ראה עמידתנו דַלים ורקים
Behold our position, impoverished and empty

Haneshamah lach, vehaguf po’olach
הנשמה לך והגוף פעלך
The soul is Yours, and the body is Your work

Chusah al amalach
חוסה על עמלך
Have compassion on Your labor

(KI KAROV / כי־קרוב)

Ki karov eilecha hadavar m’od
כי־קרוב אליך הדבר מאד
It is within your close reach to follow the word of Torah

B’ficha u’vil-vavcha la-asoto
בפיך ובלבבך לעשתו
In speech, in feeling and in deeds
