O Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary, pure and holy, tried and true,
and with thanksgiving I'll be a living sanctuary for You.
V'asoo li mikdash, v'shahanti b'tokham,
v'anahnu n'varekh Yah me'ata v'ad olam
Shir HaMa'alot b'shuv Adonai et shivat Tzion hayinu k'holmim
as y'maleh s'chok pinu u'l'shonenu rina.
Az yomru ba'goyim higdil Adonai la'asot im eleh
higdil Adonai, la'asot imanu hayeenu s'mechim.
Shuva Adonai et shiveeteinu ka'afikim ba'negev
hazorim be'dima be'rina yiktzoru.
Haloch yelech oo'vacho noseh meshech hazarah
Bo yavo v'rina noseh aloomotav.
Tehilat Adonai y'daber pi v'yivarech kol basar shem kodsho le'olam va'ed
va'anahnu n'varech Yah me'ata v'ad olam.
