אֲגַדֶּלְךָ אֱלֹהֵי כָּל נְשָׁמָה וְאוֹדְךָ בְּרֺב פַּחַד וְאֵימָה |
I will praise You, God of all souls
and I will thank you with great fear and awe. |
|
בְּעָמְדִי תּוֹךְ קְהָלְךָ צוּר לְרוֹמֵם לְךָ אֶכְרַע וְאֶכּוֹף ראֺשׁ וְקוֹמָה |
As I stand among your worshipers, Lord, and exalt you
before you I will kneel and bow head and body |
|
רְקִיעֵי רוֹם הֲלֹא נָטָה בְמִבְטָא וְהָאָרֶץ יְסָדָהּ עַל בְּלִימָה |
The high heavens – Has He not stretched them forth with His speech?
and the earth He founded upon nothingness |
|
הֲיוּכַל אִישׁ חֲקוֹר אֶת סוֹד יוֹצְרוֹ וּמִי הוּא זֶה בְּכָל קֵדְמָה וְיָמָּה |
Can a man explore the secret of his Creator?
and who is He at the far ends of the East and West? |
|
מְרוֹמָם הוּא עֲלֵי כָל פֶּה וְלָשׁוֹן אֲשֶׁר הִפְלִיא וְעָשָׂה כֹּל בְּחָכְמָה |
He is exalted by every mouth and tongue
he who did wonders, and has done all with wisdom |
|
וְיִתְגַּדַּל בְּגוֹי קָדוֹשׁ וְעֶלְיוֹן וְיִתְקַדַּשׁ שְׁמֵיהּ רַבָּא בְּעָלְמָא |
His name will be magnified among the holy nation
may His great name be sanctified in His world! |

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libré Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established."–Psalms 90:17
