Ma Tovu Songtext

von Debbie Friedman

[Chorus: 2x]
Ma tovu ohalecha Ya'akov,
Mish'k'no'techa Yisrael.
Va'ani b'rov chas'd'cha avo veitecha,
Eshtachaveh el heichal kod-sh'cha b'yiratecha.
[Chorus]
Adonai ahavti m'on beitecha, u'm'kom mishkan k'vodecha
Va'ani eshtachaveh v'echra'a, ev'r'cha lifnei Adonai osi.
[Chorus]
Va'ani t'filati l'cha, Adonai eit ratzon.
Elohim, b'rov chasdecha, (aneini be'emet yishecha) (2x)
[Chorus]
How lovely are your tenst, O Jacob,
Your dwelling places, O Israel,
In your abundan lovingkindness, O God, let me enter Your house,
reverently to worship in Your holy temple.
Adonai, I love Your house, the place where Your glory dwells.
So I would worship with humility, I would seek the blessing in the
presence of God, my Maker.
To You, then, Adonai, does my prayer go forth.
May this be a time of joy and favor.
In Your great love, O God, answer me with Your saving truth
