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
Behol​d our position, impoveris​hed 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 compassio​n 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
