יָהּ רִבּוֹן עָלַם וְעָלְמַיָּא אַנְתְּ הוּא מַלְכָּא מֶֽלֶךְ מַלְכַיָּא עוֹבָדֵי גְּבוּרְתֵּךְ וְתִמְהַיָּא שְׁפַר קֳדָמַי לְהַחֲוָיָּא׃ (דניאל ג:לב חלק) |
Yah, Sovereign of all the Worlds You are the King of kings Of Your mighty deeds and wonders It pleases me to proclaim |
שְׁבָחִין אֲסַדֵּר צַפְרָא וְרַמְשָׁא לָךְ אֱלָהָא קַדִּישָׁא דִּי בְּרָא כָּל נַפְשָׁא עִירִין קַדִּישִׁין וּבְנֵי אֱנָשָׁא חֵיוַת בָּרָא וְעוֹפֵי שְׁמַיָּא׃ |
I offer praises morning and evening to You, holy God, creator of all souls Heavenly angels and mortals beasts of the field and birds of the sky |
רַבְרְבִין עוֹבָדָךְ וְתַקִּיפִין מָכִיךְ רָמַיָּא זַקִּיף כְּפִיפִין לוּ יְחִי גְבַר שְׁנִין אַלְפִין לָא יֵעוֹל גְּבוּרְתָּךְ בְּחוּשְׁבְּנַיָּא׃ |
Great and mighty are your deeds shaming the proud and elevating up the humble Even if one lived a thousand years these would not suffice to tell of your mighty actions |
אֱלָהָא דִּי לֵיהּ יְקַר וּרְבוּתָא פְּרוֹק יַת עָנָךְ מִפֻּם אַרְיָוָתָא וְאַפֵּיק יַת עַמָּךְ מִגּוֹ גָלוּתָא עַמָּךְ דִּי בְחַרְתְּ מִכָּל אֻמַּיָּא׃ |
O God, to whom glory and greatness belong save Your flock from the mouths of lions Lead Your people out of exile your people whom You chose above all nations |
לְמִקְדָּשָׁךְ תּוּב וּלְקֹֽדֶשׁ קֻדְשִׁין אֲתַר דִּי בֵהּ יֶחֱדוּן רוּחִין וְנַפְשִׁין וִיזַמְּרוּן לָךְ שִׁירִין וְרַחֲשִׁין בִּירוּשְׁלֵם קַרְתָּא דְשֻׁפְרַיָּא׃ |
Return to Your Temple and to the Holy of Holies the place where all spirits and souls will rejoice There they will sing to You songs and praises in Jerusalem, the city of beauty |

Additional Notes:
- The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of volunteer contributors, or its institutional partners.
- We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
- If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre 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.
