about

These Hebrew lyrics are adapted from the gratitude offering within the Amidah prayer, which is one of the oldest and most-oft recited pieces of liturgy in Judaism.

lyrics

מוֹדִים אֲנַחְנוּ לָךְ שָׁאַתָּה הוּא ה’ אֱלֹהֵינוּ וֵאלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ ואמהותנו לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד צוּר חַיֵּינוּ מָגֵן יִשְׁעֵנוּ אַתָּה הוּא לְדוֹר וָדוֹר
נוֹדֶה לְּךָ וּנְסַפֵּר תְּהִלָּתֶךָ עַל חַיֵּינוּ הַמְּסוּרִים בְּיָדֶךָ וְעַל נִשְׁמוֹתֵינוּ הַפְּקוּדות לָךְ וְעַל נִסֶּיךָ שֶׁבְּכָל יוֹם עִמָּנוּ וְעַל נִפְלְאוֹתֶיךָ וְטוֹבוֹתֶיךָ שֶׁבְּכָל עֵת עֶרֶב וָבֹקֶר וְצָהֳרָיִם
הַטּוֹב כִּי לֹא כָלוּ רַחֲמֶיךָ וְהַמְרַחֵם כִּי לֹא תַמּוּ חֲסָדֶיךָ
מֵעוֹלָם קִוִּינוּ לָךְ

Transliteration:

Modim anachnu lach sh’ata hu Adonai Eloheinu v’elohei avoseinu v’imoseinu l’olam va’ed.
Tzur chayenu, magen yisheinu ata hu l’dor vador.
Nodeh lecha u’nesaper tehilasecha chayeinu hamesurim b’yadecha v’al nishmoseinu ha’pekudos lach v’al nisecha shebechol yom imanu v’al niflosecha v’tovosecha shebechol eit: erev, vavoker, v’tzohorayim.
Hatov ki lo chalu rachamecha v’ham’rachem ki lo samu chasadecha.
Mei’olam kivinu lach.

Translation:

We give thanks to You, that You are our Divine One, Divine of our ancestors forever and ever, Rock of our lives and Shield of our liberation from generation to generation.
We give thanks to you and recount your praises: for our lives that are entrusted in your hand, and for our souls that are in your safekeeping, and for your miracles that are with us every day, and for your wonders and good deeds that are with us at all times--evening, morning, and midday.
Good One, your mercies never fail us, Compassionate One, your loving kindness never ceases. We always hope in you.
