Adon Olam - Lord of the World - אֲדוֹן עוֹלָם

Adon olam are the first words of a hymn of the jewish liturgy dedicated to the eternity of God and his Eternity. There will be few other prayers which express the trust of man in god better than this hymn. By the way, this prayer happens to be one of the most beautifol songs in my life.

Adon Olam Text and Transliteration

Adon Olam in English

Eternal Master, who reigned supreme,
Before all of creation was drawn;
When it was finished according to His will,
Then the King's Name was proclaimed
When this our world shall be no more,
In majesty He still shall reign,
And he was, and he is,
And he will be in glory.
Alone is He, beyond compare,
Without division or ally;
Without beginning, without end,
to Him is the power and sovereignty
He is my God, my Living Redeemer
rock of my affliction in the enemy day
He is my banner and refuge
filling my cup the day I call
Into His hand I commit my spirit
when I sleep, and I wake
and with my spirit, my body
The Lord is with me, I will not fear

Adon Olam in Hebrew

אֲדוֹן עוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר מָלַךְ
בְּטֶרֶם כָּל יְצִיר נִבְרָא
לְעֵת נַעֲשָׂה בְחֶפְצוֹ כֹּל
אֲזַי מֶלֶךְ שְׁמוֹ נִקְרָא
אֲזַי מֶלֶךְ שְׁמוֹ נִקְרָא
לְבַדּוֹ יִמְלוֹךְ נוֹרָא
וְהוּא הָיָה וְהוּא הֹוֶה
וְהוּא יִהְיֶה בְּתִפְאָרָה
וְהוּא אֶחָד וְאֵין שֵׁנִי
לְהַמְשִׁילֹ לוֹ לְהַחְבִּירָה
בְּלִי רֵאשִׁית בְּלִי תַכְלִית
בְּלִי רֵאשִׁית בְּלִי תַכְלִית
וְהוּא אֵלִי וְחַי גּוֹאֲלִי
וְצוּר חֶבְלִי בְּיוֹם צָרָה
וְהוּא נִסִּי וּמָנוֹס ִלִי
מְנָת כּוֹסִי בְּיוֹם אֶקְרָא
בְּיָדוֹ אַפְקִיד רוּחִי
בְּעֵת אִישָׁן וְאָעִירָה
וְעִם רוּחִי גְוִיָּתִי
אֲדֹנָי לִי וְלֹא אִירָא
