VEHA'ER EINEYNU
BRIGHTEN OUR EYES

Veha'er eineiynu betoratecha
V'dabek liveinu bemitsvotecha

V'yached levaveinu le'ahava
Ul'yira'a et shimecha.

Lema'an lo neivosh,
Velo nikalem
Velo nikashel le'olam va'ed.

Brighten our eyes with your Torah,
and bend our hearts to your Commandments.

And unite our hearts to love
and fear your name.

So we shall never be ashamed
nor abashed
nor foul, forever and ever.
