Transliteration / Hebrew
Shokhen ad marom ve-kadosh shemo.
Ve-khatuv: rannenu tzaddikim ba-Adonai.
La-yesharim na’aveh tehillah.
Befi yesharim yit’hallal.
U-ve-divrei tzaddikim titbarakh.
U-ve-lashon ẖasidim titromam.
U-ve-qerev kedoshim titkadesh.
שׁוֹכֵן עַד מָרוֹם וְקָדושׁ שְׁמוֹ.
וְכָתוּב רַנְּנוּ צַדִּיקִים בָּיְהֹוָה.
לַיְשָׁרִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּה:
בְּפִי יְשָׁרִים תִּתְהַלָּל.
וּבְדִבְרֵי צַדִּיקִים תִּתְבָּרַךְ.
וּבִלְשׁוֹן חֲסִידִים תִּתְרוֹמָם.
וּבְקֶרֶב קְדוֹשִׁים תִּתְקַדָּשׁ
Translation (Lev Shalem)
Dwelling forever, exalted and holy is Your name— as the psalmist has written:
“Sing, O you righteous, to Adonai; praise offered by the upright is lovely.”
You are exalted in the speech of the upright;
You are blessed in the words of the righteous;
You are glorified in the language of the devoted;
You are sanctified in the midst of the holy congregation.
