Ashrei אַשְׁרֵי

Ashrei frames Psalm 145 with two opening verses of blessing. The psalm is an alphabetic hymn of praise whose first lines bless God as king whose greatness cannot be searched out. Said in the morning and afternoon services, and in some rites a third time in the morning.

אַשְׁרֵי יוֹשְׁבֵי בֵיתֶךָ עוֹד יְהַלְלוּךָ סֶּלָה

ashrei yoshvei veitekha od yehalelukha selah

Happy are those who dwell in Your house; they will praise You yet again, Selah.

אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם שֶׁכָּכָה לּוֹ אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם שֶׁיְיָ אֱלֹהָיו

ashrei ha'am shekakhah lo ashrei ha'am she'adonai elohav

Happy is the people for whom this is so; happy is the people whose God is the Lord.

אֲרוֹמִמְךָ אֱלוֹהַי הַמֶּלֶךְ וַאֲבָרְכָה שִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד

aromimkha elohai hamelekh va'avarekha shimkha le'olam va'ed

I will exalt You, my God the King, and I will bless Your name forever and ever.

בְּכָל יוֹם אֲבָרְכֶךָּ וַאֲהַלְלָה שִׁמְךָ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד

bekol yom avarekhekha va'ahalelah shimkha le'olam va'ed

Every day I will bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever.

גָּדוֹל יְיָ וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד וְלִגְדֻלָּתוֹ אֵין חֵקֶר

gadol adonai umhulal me'od veligdulato ein kheker

Great is the Lord and highly praised, and His greatness cannot be searched out.

דּוֹר לְדוֹר יְשַׁבַּח מַעֲשֶׂיךָ וּגְבוּרֹתֶיךָ יַגִּידוּ

dor ledor yeshabakh ma'asekha ugvurotekha yagidu

Generation to generation will praise Your works, and they will tell of Your mighty acts.
