Pitchu Li

 
פִּתְחוּ-לִי


Pitchu li sha'arei tzedek
Avo vam odeh Yah.
Zeh hasha'ar la'adonai tzadikim yavo'u vo.
Odicha ki anitani vatehi li l'yeshua.
Even ma'asu habonim hayta l'rosh pina.
פִּתְחוּ-לִי שַׁעֲרֵי-צֶדֶק אָבֹא בָם אוֹדֶה יָהּ.
זה השער ליי צדיקים יבאו בו.
אודך כי ענתני ותהי לי לישועה.
אבן מעסו הבונים היתה לראש פנה.
