Aleinu עָלֵינוּ

עָלֵינוּ לְשַׁבֵּחַ לַאֲדוֹן הַכֹּל לָתֵת גְּדֻלָּה לְיוֹצֵר בְּרֵאשִׁית

aleinu leshabe'akh la'adon hakol latet gedulah leyotzer bereishit

It is upon us to praise the Master of all, to ascribe greatness to the Creator of the beginning.

שֶׁלֹּא עָשָׂנוּ כְּגוֹיֵי הָאֲרָצוֹת וְלֹא שָׂמָנוּ כְּמִשְׁפְּחוֹת הָאֲדָמָה

shelo asanu kegoyei ha'aratzot velo samanu kemishpekhot ha'adamah

who has not made us like the nations of the lands, and has not placed us like the families of the earth,

שֶׁלֹּא שָׂם חֶלְקֵנוּ כָּהֶם וְגוֹרָלֵנוּ כְּכָל הֲמוֹנָם

shelo sam khelkeinu kahem vegoraleinu kekhol hamonam

who has not made our portion like theirs, nor our lot like all their crowds.

וַאֲנַחְנוּ כּוֹרְעִים וּמִשְׁתַּחֲוִים וּמוֹדִים לִפְנֵי מֶלֶךְ מַלְכֵי הַמְּלָכִים הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא

va'anakhnu kor'im umishtakhavim umodim lifnei melekh malkhei hamelakhim hakadosh barukh hu

We bow, bend, and give thanks before the King of kings of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He,

שֶׁהוּא נוֹטֶה שָׁמַיִם וְיֹסֵד אָרֶץ וּמוֹשַׁב יְקָרוֹ בַּשָּׁמַיִם מִמַּעַל וּשְׁכִינַת עֻזּוֹ בְּגָבְהֵי מְרוֹמִים

shehu noteh shamayim veyosed aretz umoshav yekaro bashamayim mima'al ushekhinat uzo begevahei meromim

who stretches out the heavens and founds the earth, whose seat of glory is in the heavens above and whose powerful Presence is in the highest heights.

הוּא אֱלֹהֵינוּ אֵין עוֹד אֱמֶת מַלְכֵּנוּ אֶפֶס זוּלָתוֹ

hu eloheinu ein od emet malkenu efes zulato

He is our God, there is none else; true is our King, there is nothing besides Him.

כַּכָּתוּב בְּתוֹרָתוֹ וְיָדַעְתָּ הַיּוֹם וַהֲשֵׁבֹתָ אֶל לְבָבֶךָ

kakatuv betorato veyadata hayom vehashevota el levavekha

As it is written in His Torah: Know this day and take it to heart

כִּי יְיָ הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים בַּשָּׁמַיִם מִמַּעַל וְעַל הָאָרֶץ מִתָּחַת אֵין עוֹד

ki adonai hu ha'elohim bashamayim mima'al ve'al ha'aretz mitakhat ein od

that the Lord is God in the heavens above and on the earth below; there is none else.
