ANA BEKOACH 
ANA BECHO'ACH 

Ana becho'ach, g'dulat yemincha, tatir tz'rura
Kabel rinat amcha sagveinu, tahareinu nora
(x2)

Na gibor dorshei yichudcha, k'vavat shamrem
Barchem taharem, rachamei tzidkatcha
Tamid gamlem, chasin kadosh
Berov tuvcha, nahel adatecha
Yachid ge'eh le'amcha p'neh, zochrei k'dushatecha
Shavateinu kabel ushma tza'akateinu, yode'a ta'alumot

(Baruch shem k'vod malchuto le'olam va'ed)

WE BEG THEE 
 

We beg thee with the strength and greatness of thy right arm-Untangle our knotted fate.
Accept your people's song, elevate and purify us
(x2)
Please, heroic one, those who pursue your uniqueness-
guard them as the pupil of an eye.
Bless them, purify them, pity them,
may your righteousness always reward them.
Powerful and Holy One, in goodness lead your flock.
Unique and proud one, to your people turn,
who remember your holiness.
Accept our cries, and hear our screams,
oh knower of mysteries.

(Blessed is the name of his noble kingdom
forever and ever.)




Hebrew words


Note:
The "Ana B'koach is a Kabbalistic poem of unknown authorship,
although traditionally it is attributed to a sage of the second century.
It pleads for Israel's redemption from exile.
Its seven lines of six words each - their first letters spelling out a secret divine name - have served as the basis of much mystical speculation.
The Ana B'koach prayer is recited on Friday evening during the
Kabbalat Shabbbat Service just prior to the singing of L'cha Dodi.
