וַאֲנִי בְּרֹב חַסְדְּךָ אָבוֹא בֵיתֶֽךָ אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל־הֵיכַל־קָדְשְׁךָ בְּיִרְאָתֶֽךָ׃
וַאֲנִי As for me, by Your great love, I will come into Your House. I will bow down toward Your holy Temple in awe of You.
אָהַֽבְתִּי, כִּי־יִשְׁמַע יהוה, אֶת־קוֹלִי תַּחֲנוּנָי׃ כִּי־הִטָּה אָזְנוֹ לִי, וּבְיָמַי אֶקְרָא׃ אֲפָפֽוּנִי חֶבְלֵי־מָֽוֶת, וּמְצָרֵי שְׁאוֹל מְצָאֽוּנִי, צָרָה וְיָגוֹן אֶמְצָא׃ וּבְשֵׁם־יהוה אֶקְרָא, אָנָּה יהוה מַלְּטָה נַפְשִׁי׃ חַנּוּן יהוה וְצַדִּיק, וֵאלֹהֵֽינוּ מְרַחֵם׃ שֹׁמֵר פְּתָאיִם יהוה, דַּלּוֹתִי וְלִי יְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ שׁוּבִי נַפְשִׁי לִמְנוּחָֽיְכִי, כִּי־יהוה גָּמַל עָלָֽיְכִי׃ כִּי חִלַּֽצְתָּ נַפְשִׁי מִמָּֽוֶת, אֶת־עֵינִי מִן־דִּמְעָה, אֶת־רַגְלִי מִדֶּֽחִי׃ אֶתְהַלֵּךְ לִפְנֵי יהוה, בְּאַרְצוֹת הַחַיִּים׃ הֶאֱמַֽנְתִּי כִּי אֲדַבֵּר, אֲנִי עָנִֽיתִי מְאֹד׃ אֲנִי אָמַֽרְתִּי בְחָפְזִי, כָּל־הָאָדָם כֹּזֵב׃
אָהַֽבְתִּי I love the LORD, for He hears my voice, my pleas. He turns His ear to me whenever I call. The bonds of death encompassed me, the anguish of the grave came upon me, I was overcome by trouble and sorrow. Then I called on the name of the LORD: “LORD, I pray, save my life.” Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; our God is full of compassion. The LORD protects the simple hearted. When I was brought low, He saved me. My soul, be at peace once more, for the LORD has been good to you. For You have rescued me from death, my eyes from weeping, my feet from stumbling. I shall walk in the presence of the LORD in the land of the living. I had faith, even when I said, “I am greatly afflicted,” even when I said rashly, “All men are liars.”
מָה־אָשִׁיב לַיהוה, כָּל־תַּגְמוּלֽוֹהִי עָלָי׃ לְךָ־אֶזְבַּח זֶֽבַח תּוֹדָה, וּבְשֵׁם יהוה אֶקְרָא׃ נְדָרַי לַיהוה אֲשַׁלֵּם, נֶגְדָה־נָּא לְכָל־עַמּוֹ׃ בְּחַצְרוֹת בֵּית יהוה, בְּתוֹכֵֽכִי יְרוּשָׁלִָֽם, הַלְלוּיָהּ׃
מָה־אָשִׁיב How can I repay the LORD for all His goodness to me? To You I shall bring a thanksgiving-offering and call on the LORD by name. I will fulfill my vows to the LORD in the presence of all His people, in the courts of the House of the LORD, in your midst, Jerusalem. Halleluya!
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ מֶֽלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם הַגּוֹמֵל לְחַיָּבִים טוֹבוֹת, שֶׁגְּמָלַֽנִי כָּל טוֹב.
בָּרוּךְ Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, who bestows good things on the unworthy, who has bestowed on me much good.
אָמֵן. מִי שֶׁגְּמָלֵךְ כָּל טוֹב, הוּא יִגְמְלֵךְ כָּל טוֹב, סֶֽלָה.
אָמֵן Amen. May He who bestowed much good on you, continue to bestow on you much good. Selah.
אָנָּא הָאֵל הַגָּדוֹל הַגִּבּוֹר וְהַנּוֹרָא, בְּרֹב חַסְדְּךָ אָבוֹא בֵיתֶֽךָ, לִזְבֹּֽחַ לְךָ זֶֽבַח תּוֹדָה עַל כָּל הַטּוֹבוֹת אֲשֶׁר גָּמַֽלְתָּ עָלָי. אֲפָפֽוּנִי חֲבָלִים וְצִירִים אֲחָזֽוּנִי, בַּצַּר לִי קָרָֽאתִי אֵלֶֽיךָ, וְשָׁמַֽעְתָּ מֵהֵיכָלְךָ קוֹלִי וְהָיִֽיתָ בְּעוֹזְרָי, רִפֵּֽאתָ לְכָל תַּחֲלוּאַי, עִטַּרְתַּֽנִי חֶֽסֶד וְרַחֲמִים, עַד הֵֽנָּה עֲזָרֽוּנִי רַחֲמֶֽיךָ, אָנָּא אַל תִּטְּשֵֽׁנִי לָנֶֽצַח. הוֹאֵל אֱלֽוֹהַּ, וּבָרֵךְ אֶת אֲמָתֶֽךָ, חֲזְִּקֵֽנִי וְאַמְּצֵֽנִי, אוֹתִי וְאֶת בַּעְלִי, וּנְגַדֵּל אֶת
אָנָּא O great, mighty and revered God. By Your great love I now come into Your House, to offer You a thanksgiving-offering for all the good You have bestowed on me. Travail beset me, pains seized me. In my distress I cried to You, and from Your habitation You heard my voice and helped me. You healed all my sickness, and crowned me with kindness and compassion. Until now Your mercy has helped me. I pray to You, God, never forsake me. Bestow Your blessing upon Your handmaid. Strengthen and support me together with my husband, that we may raise
