לך אלי [Lecha Eli] [English translation]

To Thee, O God, is my passion, it is Thou whom I desire and love

To Thee is my heart and my mind, to Thee is my spirit and my soul

To Thee are my hands, to Thee are my feet, and from Thee is my personality

To Thee is my self, to Thee is my blood and my skin along with my body

To Thee are my eyes and my thoughts, and my shape and my form

To Thee is my spirit, to Thee is my strength and my trust and my hope

To Thee I shall yearn and shall not quieten, until Thou shall illuminate my darkness

To Thee I shall cry, to Thee I shall cling, until I return unto my earth

To Thee is the Kingship, to Thee is the superiority, to Thee my praise shall befit

From Thee aid comes at times of need, be my aid at my time of need

And what am I, and what is my life, and what is my strength and my might

As blowing chaff am I driven away, and how shall Thou remember my wrongdoings

And the light which is hidden before Thee, shall be my protection and my shelter

And 'neath the shade of Thy wings, please give my place unto me.
