Adon olam asher malach, b'terem kol y'tzir nivra. L'et na'asah b'cheftzo kol azai melech sh'mo nikra.
V'acharei kichlot hakol l'vado yimloch nora. V'hu hayah, v'hu hoveh, v'hu yihyeh b'tifarah.
V'hu echad v'ein sheni l'hamishil lo l'hachbirah, b'li reishi b'li tachlit, v'lo haoz v'hamisra.
V'hu eili v'chai goali v'tsur chevli b'eit tsrah, v'hu nisi umanos li, m'nat kosi b'yom ekrah.
B'yado afkid ruchi b'et ishan v'airah. v'im ruchi g'viati Adonai li v'lo irah.
אֲדוֹן עוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר מָלַךְ, בְּטֶרֶם כָּל יְצִיר נִבְרָא. לְעֵת נַעֲשָׂה בְחֶפְצוֹ כֹּל, אֲזַי מֶלֶךְ שְׁמוֹ נִקְרָא. וְאַחֲרֵי כִּכְלוֹת הַכֹּל, לְבַדּוֹ יִמְלוֹךְ נוֹרָא. וְהוּא הָיָה, וְהוּא הֹוֶה, וְהוּא יִהְיֶה, בְּתִפְאָרָה. וְהוּא אֶחָד וְאֵין שֵׁנִי, לְהַמְשִׁיל לוֹ לְהַחְבִּירָה. בְּלִי רֵאשִׁית בְּלִי תַכְלִית, וְלוֹ הָעֹז וְהַמִּשְׂרָה. וְהוּא אֵלִי וְחַי גֹּאֲלִי, וְצוּר חֶבְלִי בְּעֵת צָרָה. וְהוּא נִסִּי וּמָנוֹס לִי, מְנָת כּוֹסִי בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא. בְּיָדוֹ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי, בְּעֵת אִישַׁן וְאָעִירָה. וְעִם רוּחִי גְּוִיָּתִי, יְיָ לִי וְלֹא אִירָא.
