Lyrics and Translations for “Ashrei” CD

If you have acquired a copy of Omnimusica’s CD, “Ashrei,” and want access to the Hebrew prayer texts (in transliteration) and English translations, here they are:

ASHREI

Ashrei yoshvei vei’secha, ode yehalelucha Selah.
Ashrei ha’am shekacha lo, ashrei ha’am she’Ado-nai Elo-hav.
(Tehila le’David)

Happy are those who dwell in Your house; may they always praise You, Selah! Happy are the people for whom this is so; happy are those whose God is Adonai.
(A psalm of praise by David.)

MI CHAMOCHA

Mi chamocha, ba’elim, Adonai?
Mi kamocha, nedar bakodesh, nora tehilot, osei feleh?

Who is like you, Adonai, among other gods?
Who is like you, glorious in holiness,
awesome in praises, doing miracles?

SHALOM RAV

Shalom rav al Yisrael amcha
tasim l’olam,
ki atah hu Melech Adon
l’chol hashalom.
V’tov b’einecha l’vareich
et amcha Yisrael
b’chol eit uv’chol shaah bish’lomecha.

Grant abundant peace to Israel Your people forever,
for You are the Sovereign God of all peace.
May it be pleasing to You to bless Your people Israel
in every season and moment with Your peace.

OSEH SHALOM

Oseh shalom bimromav

He who makes peace in His high places
He shall make peace upon us
and upon all of Israel
and let us say, Amen.

SHEHECHEYANU

Baruch atah Adonai, Eloheinu Melech haolam,
shehechehyanu, v’kiy’manu, v’higianu laz’man hazeh.

Blessed are You, Adonai, Sovereign of all
For giving us life, sustaining us, and enabling us to reach this season.

SH’MA YISRAEL
Sh’ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad.
(Barukh Shem kevod malkhuto l’olam va’ed.)

Hear, O Israel: Adonai our God, Adonai is One.
(Blessed is God’s glorious majesty forever and ever.)
