English
My soul thirsts for God, the living God. My heart and flesh will sing joyfully to the living God. The One God created me, and said “As I live, No one shall see Me and live.” My soul thirsts for God, the living God. My heart and flesh will sing joyfully to the living God. He created all with wisdom, design and deliberation, Deeply hidden though it is from the eyes of all that live. His glory is high above all, every mouth makes known His splendor, Blessed is He in whose hands is the life-force of all that lives. My soul thirsts for God, the living God. My heart and flesh will sing joyfully to the living God. He set apart the quiet one’s offspring, to teach them decrees, Which if one performs them, thereby he shall live. Who can vindicate himself? We are like specks of dust, Truly none can vindicate itself before You, nothing that lives. My soul thirsts for God, the living God. My heart and flesh will sing joyfully to the living God. In the heart, the inclination is like a viper’s poison, How then can we return, and be like flesh that lives? Those who have gone astray, if they wished, could turn from their way, Before they go to their rest in the place destined for all that lives. My soul thirsts for God, the living God. My heart and flesh will sing joyfully to the living God. For everything, I shall thank You, every mouth shall declare Your Oneness, You who open Your hand and satisfy all that lives. Recall the love of ancient times, and revive those who slumber, Bring near the days when the Messiah shall live. My soul thirsts for God, the living God. My heart and flesh will sing joyfully to the living God. See who is the true mistress, when the handmaid says, “No, your son is dead while my son lives.” I will bow face down and spread my hands toward you, When I open my mouth to say: “The soul of all that lives.” My soul thirsts for God, the living God. My heart and flesh will sing joyfully to the living God.
