Passover Haggadah with Transliteration

And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. The heavens and the earth were completed, and all their host.

On the seventh day God completed the work He had done,

and He rested on the seventh day from all the work He had done.

God blessed the seventh day and made it holy,

for on it He rested from all His work, which God had created to do.

Attention, my masters, rabbis, and teachers:

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who has chosen us

from all peoples, raised us above every tongue, and made us holy with His commandments.

And You gave us, Lord our God, with love

(Sabbaths for rest and) festivals for joy, holidays and seasons for gladness,

(this Shabbat day and) this day of the Festival of Matzot,

the season of our freedom,

(with love) a holy gathering, a reminder of the going out from Egypt.

For You chose us and made us holy from all the peoples,

(and Shabbat) and Your holy festivals

(with love and favor) with joy and gladness You gave us as a heritage.

Blessed are You, Lord, who makes holy

(Shabbat and) Israel and the festive seasons.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the lights of fire.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe,

who separates between holy and ordinary,

between light and darkness, between Israel and the nations,

between the seventh day and the six days of work.

You made a separation between the holiness of Shabbat and the holiness of the festival,

and You made the seventh day holy, above the six days of work.

You separated and made holy Your people Israel with Your holiness.

Blessed are You, Lord, who separates between holy and holy.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe,

who has kept us alive, sustained us, and brought us to this season.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the earth.

This is the bread of affliction that our fathers ate in the land of Egypt.

Let all who are hungry come and eat; let all who are in need come and share the Pesach.

Now we are here; next year in the land of Israel.

Now we are slaves; next year, free people.

Why is this night different from all other nights?

On all other nights we eat leavened bread and matzah; this night,

all of it is matzah. On all other nights we eat other vegetables;

this night (all of it) maror.

On all other nights we do not dip even one time;

this night, two times.

On all other nights we eat either sitting or leaning;

this night, all of us are leaning.

We were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt,

and the Lord our God brought us out from there with a strong hand and an outstretched arm.

If the Holy One, blessed be He, had not brought our fathers out of Egypt,

then we, our children, and our children's children would still be slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt.

And even if all of us were wise, all of us understanding, all of us elders,

all of us knowing the Torah, it is a commandment for us to tell about the going out of Egypt.

And whoever tells more about the going out of Egypt is praiseworthy.

It happened that Rabbi Eliezer and Rabbi Joshua

and Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah and Rabbi Akiva

and Rabbi Tarfon were reclining in Bnei Brak

and were telling about the going out of Egypt all that night,

until their students came and said to them: Our teachers,

the time for reading the morning Shema has come.

Rabbi Elazar ben Azariah said:

Here I am, like a man of seventy years, and I did not merit

that the going out of Egypt be mentioned at night, until Ben Zoma explained it,

as it is said: So that you remember the day you went out

of the land of Egypt all the days of your life. The days of your life: the days.

All the days of your life: the nights.

And the Sages say: The days of your life: this world.

All the days of your life: to include the days of the Messiah.

Blessed is the Omnipresent, blessed is He.

Blessed is He who gave the Torah to His people Israel, blessed is He.

The Torah speaks about four sons: one wise, and one wicked,

one simple, and one who does not know how to ask.

What does the wise one say?

What are the testimonies, the laws, and the rulings that the Lord our God commanded you?

And you, too, tell him the laws of Pesach:

After the Pesach offering, one may not add any dessert (afikoman).

What does the wicked one say? What is this service to you?

To you and not to him.

And because he took himself out of the community, he denied the main principle.

And you, too, blunt his teeth and say to him:

"Because of this the Lord did for me when I went out of Egypt." For me, and not for him.

Had he been there, he would not have been redeemed.

What does the simple one say? What is this?

And you shall say to him: "With a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slavery."

And the one who does not know how to ask,

you must open the subject for him, as it is said: And you shall tell your son on that day, saying,

"Because of this the Lord did for me when I went out of Egypt."

One might think: from the start of the month? The verse teaches: on that day.

If it says on that day, one might think: while it is still daytime?

The verse teaches: because of this. I did not say "because of this"

except at the time when matzah and maror are placed before you.

In the beginning our fathers were idol worshipers,

and now the Omnipresent has brought us near to His service, as it is said:

And Joshua said to all the people: Thus says the Lord, God of Israel,

Beyond the river your fathers lived long ago,

Terah, father of Abraham and father of Nahor, and they served other gods.

And I took your father Abraham from beyond the river and led him through all the land of Canaan,

and I multiplied his offspring and gave him Isaac. And to Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau,

and to Esau I gave Mount Seir to possess it,

but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt.

Blessed is He who keeps His promise to Israel, blessed is He.

For the Holy One, blessed be He, calculated the end,

to do as He said to our father Abraham at the Covenant between the Pieces, as it is said:

And He said to Abram,

You shall surely know that your offspring will be strangers in a land not theirs,

and they will serve them, and they will afflict them, four hundred years.

And also the nation that they will serve,

I will judge, and afterward they will go out with great wealth.

And it is this that has stood by our fathers and by us.

For not just one has stood against us to destroy us,

but in every generation they stand against us to destroy us,

and the Holy One, blessed be He, saves us from their hand.

Go out and learn what Laban the Aramean sought to do to Jacob our father.

For Pharaoh decreed only against the males,

but Laban sought to uproot everything. As it is said:

An Aramean tried to destroy my father, and he went down to Egypt and lived there, few in number,

and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and numerous.

And he went down to Egypt, forced by God's command. And he lived there.

This teaches that Jacob our father did not go down

to settle in Egypt, but only to live there for a time. As it is said:

And they said to Pharaoh: We have come to live in the land for a time,

for there is no pasture for the flocks that belong to your servants,

for the famine is heavy in the land of Canaan,

and now, please, let your servants live in the land of Goshen.

"Few in number." As it is said: With seventy souls your fathers went down to Egypt,

and now the Lord your God has made you like the stars of the heavens in number.

"And there he became a nation." This teaches that Israel were distinct there.

"Great, mighty." As it is said:

And the children of Israel were fruitful and swarmed and multiplied and grew very, very mighty,

and the land was filled with them.

"And numerous." As it is said:

I made you many like the plants of the field, and you multiplied and grew and came to the finest jewels,

your breasts were formed and your hair grew, yet you were naked and bare.

And I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood,

and I said to you: In your blood, live! And I said to you: In your blood, live!

And the Egyptians treated us badly and afflicted us, and put hard labor upon us.

"And the Egyptians treated us badly." As it is said:

Come, let us deal wisely with him, lest he multiply,

and it will be, if war breaks out, he too will join our enemies and fight against us,

and go up from the land.

"And afflicted us." As it is said:

And they set taskmasters over him in order to afflict him with their burdens,

and he built storage cities for Pharaoh: Pithom and Raamses.

"And put hard labor upon us." As it is said:

And the Egyptians made the children of Israel work with harshness.

And we cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers,

and the Lord heard our voice, and saw our affliction and our toil and our oppression.

"And we cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers." As it is said:

And it was in those many days that the king of Egypt died,

and the children of Israel sighed from the work and cried out, and their cry went up to God from the work.

"And the Lord heard our voice." As it is said:

And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

"And saw our affliction." This is the separation of husband and wife. As it is said:

And God saw the children of Israel, and God knew.

"And our toil." These are the sons. As it is said:

Every son that is born, throw him into the Nile, and every daughter let live.

"And our oppression." This is the pressure. As it is said:

And I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

And the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a strong hand,

and with an outstretched arm, and with great awe, and with signs and with wonders.

"And the Lord brought us out of Egypt." Not by an angel, and not by a seraph,

and not by a messenger, but the Holy One, blessed be He, in His own glory and by Himself.

As it is said: And I will pass through the land of Egypt on this night,

and I will strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from man to beast,

and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments. I am the Lord.

"And I will pass through the land of Egypt on this night": I, and not an angel;

"and I will strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt": I, and not a seraph;

"and on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments": I, and not the messenger; "I am the Lord":

I am He, and no other.

"With a strong hand." This is the pestilence. As it is said:

Behold, the hand of the Lord will be upon your livestock that is in the field, upon the horses,

upon the donkeys, upon the camels, upon the cattle and upon the sheep: a very heavy pestilence.

"And with an outstretched arm." This is the sword. As it is said:

And his sword drawn in his hand, stretched out over Jerusalem.

"And with great awe." This is the revealing of the Divine Presence. As it is said:

Or has God ever tried to come and take for Himself a nation

from within a nation, with trials, with signs, and with wonders, and with war,

and with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, and with great terrors, like all

that the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

"And with signs." This is the staff. As it is said:

And you shall take this staff in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.

"And with wonders." This is the blood. As it is said: And I will give wonders in the heavens and on the earth,

Blood and fire and columns of smoke.

Another explanation: "With a strong hand" is two, and "with an outstretched arm" is two,

"and with great awe" is two, "and with signs" is two, and "with wonders" is two.

These are the ten plagues that the Holy One, blessed be He, brought upon the Egyptians in Egypt,

and they are:

Blood

Frogs

Lice

Wild Animals

Pestilence

Boils

Hail

Locusts

Darkness

Death of the Firstborn

Rabbi Yehudah gave them a memory aid: Detzach, Adash, Be'achav.

Rabbi Yose the Galilean says:

From where do you say that the Egyptians were struck in Egypt

with ten plagues, and at the sea were struck with fifty plagues?

In Egypt, what does it say?

And the magicians said to Pharaoh: It is the finger of God.

And at the sea, what does it say?

And Israel saw the great hand that the Lord did in Egypt,

and the people feared the Lord, and they believed in the Lord and in Moses His servant.

How many plagues struck them with the finger? Ten plagues. Conclude from this:

In Egypt they were struck with ten plagues, and at the sea they were struck with fifty plagues.

Rabbi Eliezer says:

From where do we know that every single plague that the Holy One, blessed be He, brought

upon the Egyptians in Egypt was made up of four plagues? As it is said:

He sent upon them His fierce anger: wrath, and fury, and trouble, a band of messengers of evil.

Wrath is one, and fury two, and trouble three, a band of messengers of evil

four. Conclude from this:

In Egypt they were struck with forty plagues, and at the sea they were struck with two hundred plagues.

Rabbi Akiva says:

From where do we know that every single plague that the Holy One, blessed be He, brought

upon the Egyptians in Egypt was made up of five plagues? As it is said:

He sent upon them His fierce anger: wrath, and fury, and trouble, a band of messengers of evil.

His fierce anger is one, wrath two, fury three, and trouble

four, a band of messengers of evil five. Conclude from this:

In Egypt they were struck with fifty plagues,

and at the sea they were struck with two hundred and fifty plagues.

How many levels of goodness the Omnipresent has given us!

If He had brought us out of Egypt, and had not executed judgments on them, it would have been enough for us.

If He had executed judgments on them, and had not executed judgments on their gods, it would have been enough for us.

If He had executed judgments on their gods, and had not killed their firstborn, it would have been enough for us.

If He had killed their firstborn, and had not given us their wealth, it would have been enough for us.

If He had given us their wealth, and had not split the sea for us, it would have been enough for us.

If He had split the sea for us, and had not taken us through it on dry land, it would have been enough for us.

If He had taken us through it on dry land, and had not sunk our enemies in it, it would have been enough for us.

If He had sunk our enemies in it,

and had not supplied our needs in the desert for forty years, it would have been enough for us.

If He had supplied our needs in the desert

forty years, and had not fed us the manna, it would have been enough for us.

If He had fed us the manna, and had not given us the Shabbat, it would have been enough for us.

If He had given us the Shabbat,

and had not brought us near to Mount Sinai, it would have been enough for us.

If He had brought us near to Mount Sinai, and had not given us the Torah,

It would have been enough for us.

If He had given us the Torah, and had not brought us into the Land of Israel, it would have been enough for us.

If He had brought us into the Land of Israel,

and had not built us the Chosen House (the Holy Temple), it would have been enough for us.

How much more, then, and more again, is the doubled and redoubled goodness of the Omnipresent toward us:

that He brought us out of Egypt, and executed judgments on them, and executed judgments on their gods, and killed their firstborn,

and gave us their wealth, and split the sea for us,

and took us through it on dry land, and sank our enemies in it,

and supplied our needs in the desert for forty years, and fed us the manna,

and gave us the Shabbat, and brought us near to Mount Sinai,

and gave us the Torah, and brought us into the Land of Israel,

and built us the Chosen House (the Holy Temple) to atone for all our sins.

Rabban Gamliel used to say:

Whoever has not said these three things on Pesach,

has not fulfilled his obligation. And they are: Pesach, matzah, and maror.

The Pesach offering that our fathers ate when the Holy Temple was standing,

for what reason? Because the Holy One, blessed be He, passed over

the houses of our fathers in Egypt, as it is said:

And you shall say: It is the Pesach sacrifice to the Lord,

who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians,

and our houses He saved. And the people bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.

This matzah that we eat, for what reason?

Because the dough of our fathers did not have time

to rise before the King of the kings of kings revealed Himself to them,

the Holy One, blessed be He, and redeemed them. As it is said:

And they baked the dough that they brought out of Egypt into cakes of matzot,

for it was not leavened,

for they were driven out of Egypt and could not delay, and they had also made no provisions for themselves.

This maror that we eat, for what reason?

Because the Egyptians made bitter the lives of our fathers in Egypt, as it is said:

And they made their lives bitter with hard work, with mortar and with bricks and with every kind of work in the field,

all their work that they made them do with harshness.

In every generation a person is obligated

to see himself as if he came out of Egypt, as it is said:

And you shall tell your son on that day, saying:

"Because of this the Lord did for me when I went out of Egypt."

Not only our fathers did the Holy One, blessed be He, redeem,

but us also He redeemed with them, as it is said:

And us He brought out from there, in order to bring us,

to give us the land that He swore to our fathers.

Therefore we are obligated to thank, to praise, to laud, to glorify, to exalt, to honor,

to bless, to elevate, and to acclaim the One who did for our fathers and for us all these miracles:

He brought us out from slavery to freedom, from sorrow to joy,

from mourning to a festival day, from darkness to great light, and from bondage to redemption.

And let us say before Him a new song: Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord! Praise, servants of the Lord; praise the name of the Lord.

May the name of the Lord be blessed from now and forever.

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is praised.

The Lord is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.

Who is like the Lord our God, who sits on high, who looks down upon the heavens and the earth?

He lifts the poor from the dust, He raises the needy from the trash heaps,

to seat them with nobles, with the nobles of His people.

He seats the childless woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord.

When Israel went out from Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue,

Judah became His holy place, Israel His dominion.

The sea saw and fled; the Jordan turned back.

The mountains skipped like rams, the hills like young sheep.

What is it, sea, that you flee? Jordan, that you turn back?

Mountains, that you skip like rams, hills like young sheep?

Before the Master, tremble, earth, before the God of Jacob,

who turns the rock into a pool of water, the flint into a spring of water.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe,

who redeemed us and redeemed our fathers from Egypt,

and brought us to this night, to eat matzah and maror on it.

So, Lord our God and God of our fathers, may You bring us

to other holidays and festivals that come toward us in peace,

joyful in the rebuilding of Your city and glad in Your service.

And there we will eat from the sacrifices and from the Pesach offerings,

whose blood will reach the wall of Your altar to be accepted,

and we will thank You with a new song for our redemption and for the freeing of our souls.

Blessed are You, Lord, who redeemed Israel.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe,

who made us holy with His commandments and commanded us about washing the hands.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe,

who brings forth bread from the earth.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe,

who made us holy with His commandments and commanded us about eating matzah.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe,

who made us holy with His commandments and commanded us about eating maror.

In memory of the Temple, according to Hillel.

So did Hillel do when the Temple was standing:

he would wrap matzah and maror and eat them together, to fulfill what is said:

With matzot and bitter herbs they shall eat it.

In memory of the Pesach offering, eaten when full.

A song of ascents. When the Lord brought back the exiles of Zion, we were like dreamers.

Then our mouths were filled with laughter and our tongues with song.

Then they said among the nations: the Lord has done great things for these.

The Lord has done great things for us; we were glad.

Bring back our exiles, Lord, like streams in the Negev. Those who sow in tears will reap in song.

He goes along weeping, carrying the bag of seed; he will surely come back in song, carrying his sheaves.

My friends, let us bless.

May the name of the Lord be blessed from now and forever.

With the permission of all present, let us bless [our God,] Him whose food we have eaten.

Blessed [is our God,] He whose food we have eaten and by whose goodness we live.

Blessed [is our God,] He whose food we have eaten and by whose goodness we live.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe,

who feeds the whole world in His goodness, with grace, with kindness and with mercy.

He gives bread to all flesh, for His kindness is forever.

And in His great goodness we have never lacked,

and may we never lack food, forever and ever, for the sake of His great name.

For He is God who feeds and provides for all, and does good to all,

and prepares food for all the creatures He has created.

Blessed are You, Lord, who feeds all.

We thank You, Lord our God, for having given as an inheritance

to our fathers a desirable, good and spacious land,

and for having brought us out, Lord our God, from the land of Egypt,

and redeemed us from the house of slavery, and for Your covenant that You sealed in our flesh,

and for Your Torah that You taught us, and for Your laws that You made known to us,

and for life, grace and kindness that You granted us,

and for the eating of food with which You feed and provide for us always,

every day, and at every time, and at every hour.

And for everything, Lord our God, we thank You and bless You.

May Your name be blessed in the mouth of every living being, always, forever and ever. As it is written:

You shall eat and be satisfied, and you shall bless the Lord your God for the good land that He has given you.

Blessed are You, Lord, for the land and for the food.

Have mercy, please, Lord our God, on Israel Your people,

and on Jerusalem Your city, and on Zion,

the dwelling place of Your glory, and on the kingdom of the house of David Your anointed,

and on the great and holy house over which Your name is called.

Our God, our Father, tend us, feed us, sustain us, support us, and give us relief,

and grant us relief, Lord our God, soon from all our troubles.

And please, do not make us need, Lord our God,

neither the gifts of flesh and blood nor their loans,

but only Your hand, which is full, open, holy and generous,

so that we will not be ashamed or disgraced, forever and ever.

Be pleased and strengthen us, Lord our God, through Your commandments and through the commandment of

the seventh day, this great and holy Shabbat.

For this day is great and holy before You,

to rest on it and to be still on it in love, according to the commandment of Your will.

And in Your will, grant us rest, Lord our God, so that there will not

be trouble, sorrow, or sighing on our day of rest.

And show us, Lord our God, the consolation of Zion Your city, and the rebuilding of Jerusalem, city of

Your holiness, for You are the Master of salvations and the Master of consolations.

Our God and God of our fathers, may there rise, and come, and arrive, and be seen, and be favored,

and be heard, and be noted, and be remembered: our remembrance and our record,

and the remembrance of our fathers, and the remembrance of the Messiah, son of David, Your servant,

and the remembrance of Jerusalem, city of Your holiness,

and the remembrance of all Your people, the house of Israel, before You,

for deliverance, for good, for grace, kindness and mercy,

for life and for peace, on this day of the Festival of Matzot. Remember us, Lord our God,

on it for good, and note us on it for blessing, and save us on it for life.

And by the word of salvation and mercy, spare us and be gracious to us, have mercy on us and save us,

for our eyes are turned to You, for You are a gracious and merciful God and King.

And rebuild Jerusalem, the holy city, soon in our days.

Blessed are You, Lord, who in His mercy rebuilds Jerusalem. Amen.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe,

God, our Father, our King, our Mighty One, our Creator, our Redeemer,

our Maker, our Holy One, the Holy One of Jacob, our Shepherd,

the Shepherd of Israel, the King who is good and does good to all,

who every single day has done good,

does good, and will do good to us.

He has granted us, He grants us, He will grant us forever,

with grace, kindness and mercy, with relief, rescue and success,

blessing and salvation, consolation, sustenance and support,

and mercy and life and peace and all good,

and may He never let us lack any good thing.

May the Merciful One reign over us forever and ever.

May the Merciful One be blessed in heaven and on earth.

May the Merciful One be praised for all generations,

and be glorified in us forever and for all eternity,

and be honored in us forever and ever. May the Merciful One sustain us with dignity.

May the Merciful One break our yoke from off our neck,

and may He lead us upright to our land.

May the Merciful One send us abundant blessing in this house

and on this table at which we have eaten.

May the Merciful One send us Elijah the prophet, remembered for good,

and let him bring us good news, salvations and consolations.

May the Merciful One bless my husband / my wife.

May the Merciful One bless [my father, my teacher,] the master of this house,

and [my mother, my teacher,] the lady of this house,

them and their household and their children and all that is theirs.

us and all that is ours,

just as our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were blessed in everything, from everything, with everything,

so may He bless us, all of us together, with a complete blessing, and let us say: Amen.

On high, may they plead merit for them and for us, a merit that will safeguard peace.

And may we receive blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of our salvation,

and find grace and good understanding in the eyes of God and man.

May the Merciful One give us a day that is entirely Shabbat and rest, for everlasting life.

May the Merciful One give us a day that is entirely good. [A day that is entirely long.

A day on which the righteous sit with their crowns on their heads and enjoy

the radiance of the Divine Presence, and may our portion be with them.]

May the Merciful One make us worthy of the days of the Messiah and of the life of the World to Come.

He is a tower of salvations to His king, and shows kindness

to His anointed, to David and to his descendants forever. He who makes peace in His heights,

may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say: Amen.

Fear the Lord, you His holy ones, for there is no lack for those who fear Him.

Young lions have been in want and hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not lack any good.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His kindness is forever.

You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and the Lord will be his trust.

I was young and now I am old,

and I have not seen a righteous person abandoned, or his children begging for bread.

The Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

Pour out Your wrath on the nations that have not known You

and on the kingdoms that have not called on Your name.

For they have devoured Jacob and laid waste his dwelling.

Pour out Your fury on them, and let Your burning anger overtake them.

Pursue them in anger and destroy them from under the heavens of the Lord.

Not to us, Lord, not to us,

but to Your name give glory, for the sake of Your kindness and Your truth.

Why should the nations say, "Where now is their God?"

And our God is in the heavens; all that He wants, He has done.

Their idols are silver and gold, the work of human hands.

They have a mouth, but cannot speak; they have eyes, but cannot see.

They have ears, but cannot hear; they have a nose, but cannot smell.

Their hands cannot feel, their feet cannot walk; they make no sound in their throat.

Like them will be those who make them, everyone who trusts in them.

Israel, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.

House of Aaron, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.

You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord; He is their help and their shield.

The Lord has remembered us; He will bless, He will bless the house of Israel,

He will bless the house of Aaron.

He will bless those who fear the Lord, the small together with the great.

May the Lord add to you, to you and to your children.

You are blessed by the Lord, maker of heaven and earth.

The heavens are the Lord's heavens, but the earth He gave to the children of man.

The dead do not praise the Lord, nor do any who go down into silence.

But we will bless the Lord, from now and forever. Praise the Lord.

I love that the Lord hears my voice, my pleas.

For He turned His ear to me, and all my days I will call.

The cords of death surrounded me, and the straits of the grave found me; I found trouble and sorrow.

And I call on the name of the Lord: "Please, Lord, rescue my soul."

The Lord is gracious and righteous, and our God is merciful.

The Lord guards the simple; I was brought low, and He saved me.

Return, my soul, to your rest, for the Lord has been good to you.

For You have rescued my soul from death, my eye from tears, my foot from stumbling.

I will walk before the Lord in the lands of the living.

I trusted even when I said, "I am greatly afflicted."

I said in my haste, "All people are liars."

What can I give back to the Lord for all His gifts to me? I will lift the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows to the Lord, now, in the presence of all His people.

Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of His devoted ones.

Please, Lord, for I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have loosened my bonds.

To You I will offer a thanksgiving sacrifice, and I call on the name of the Lord.

I will pay my vows to the Lord, now, in the presence of all His people.

In the courtyards of the house of the Lord, in your midst, Jerusalem. Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord, all nations; extol Him, all peoples.

For His kindness has been mighty over us, and the truth of the Lord is forever. Praise the Lord.

From the narrow place I called to the Lord; the Lord answered me with wide-open space.

The Lord is for me, I will not fear; what can a person do to me?

The Lord is for me among my helpers, and I will look on those who hate me.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in nobles.

All nations surrounded me; in the name of the Lord, indeed I cut them down.

They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me; in the name of the Lord, indeed I cut them down.

They surrounded me like bees; they were put out like a fire of thorns; in the name of the Lord, indeed I cut them down.

You pushed me hard to make me fall, but the Lord helped me.

My strength and my song is the Lord, and He has become my salvation.

The sound of joyful song and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of the Lord does mighty deeds.

The right hand of the Lord is raised high; the right hand of the Lord does mighty deeds.

I will not die, for I will live, and I will tell of the deeds of the Lord.

The Lord has punished me severely, but He did not give me over to death.

Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter them, I will thank the Lord.

This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous will enter through it.

I thank You, for You answered me and became my salvation.

and besides You we have no king, redeemer, or savior,

who rescues and saves, and sustains and has mercy, in every time of trouble and distress.

We have no king but You.

God of the first and the last, God of all creatures, Master of all generations,

who is praised with many praises, who guides His world with kindness and His creatures with mercy.

And the Lord does not slumber and does not sleep; He wakes the sleepers and rouses those who are dozing,

and makes the mute speak, and frees the bound, and supports the fallen, and lifts up the bent.

To You alone we give thanks.

If our mouth were full of song like the sea,

and our tongue of joyful singing like the roar of its waves, and our lips of praise like the breadth of the sky,

and our eyes shining like the sun and the moon,

and our hands spread out like the eagles of the sky, and our feet light like deer,

we still could not thank You enough, Lord our God and God of our fathers,

and bless Your name, for even one in a thousand,

thousands of thousands and tens of thousands of times,

of the good things that You have done with our fathers and with us. From Egypt You redeemed us, Lord our God,

and from the house of slavery You freed us; in famine You fed us and in plenty You sustained us,

from the sword You saved us and from plague You rescued us, and from evil and lasting illnesses You lifted us.

Until now Your mercies have helped us, and Your kindnesses have not left us,

and never abandon us, Lord our God.

Therefore the limbs that You have set within us, and the spirit and breath

that You breathed into our nostrils, and the tongue that You placed in our mouth,

indeed they will thank and bless and praise and glorify and exalt

and revere and sanctify and crown Your name, our King.

For every mouth will thank You,

and every tongue will swear to You, and every knee will bow to You,

and everyone who stands tall will bow down before You, and all hearts will fear You,

and all inner parts and kidneys will sing to Your name.

As it is written: All my bones will say,

"Lord, who is like You, who saves the poor from one stronger than he,

the poor and needy from one who robs him." Who can be compared to You, and who is equal to You,

and who can be matched with You, the great God,

the mighty and awesome, the Most High God, Creator of heaven and earth.

We will praise You, and acclaim You, and glorify You, and bless Your holy name, as it is said:

Of David: Bless the Lord, my soul, and all that is within me bless His holy name.

God, in the power of Your strength; the Great, in the glory of Your name,

the Mighty forever, and the Awesome in Your awesome deeds,

the King who sits on a high and lofty throne.

Who dwells forever on high, and holy is His name. And it is written:

Sing for joy, righteous ones, in the Lord; for the upright, praise is fitting.

By the mouth of the upright You are praised, and by the words of the righteous You are blessed,

and by the tongue of the devoted You are exalted, and among the holy You are sanctified.

And in the assemblies of the ten thousands of Your people, the house of Israel, Your name, our King, is glorified with joyful song,

in every generation, for that is the duty of all creatures before You,

Lord our God and God of our fathers,

to thank, to praise, to laud, to glorify, to exalt, to adorn, to bless,

to raise high and to sing praise, beyond all the words of songs

and praises of David son of Jesse, Your servant, Your anointed.

May Your name be praised forever, our King,

God, the great and holy King in heaven and on earth,

for to You it is fitting, Lord our God and God of our fathers,

song and praise, hymn and melody, strength and rule, victory, greatness and might,

praise and splendor, holiness and kingship, blessings and thanksgivings from now and forever.

Blessed are You, Lord, God, King, great in praises, God of thanksgivings,

Master of wonders, who chooses songs of melody, King, God, the Life of the worlds.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe, who creates the fruit of the vine.

Blessed are You, Lord our God, King of the universe,

for the vine and for the fruit of the vine,

for the produce of the field, and for a desirable land, good and wide,

that You wanted and gave as an inheritance to our fathers, to eat of its fruit and be satisfied with its goodness.

Have mercy, please, Lord our God, on Israel Your people, and on Jerusalem

Your city, and on Zion, the dwelling place of Your glory, and on Your altar, and on Your Temple,

and rebuild Jerusalem, the holy city, soon in our days, and bring us up into it, and make us glad

in its rebuilding, and we will eat of its fruit and be satisfied with its goodness, and bless You for it in holiness and purity.

[And be pleased with us and strengthen us on this Shabbat day,]

and make us glad on this day of the Festival of Matzot,

for You, Lord, are good and do good to all,

and we thank You for the land and for the fruit of the vine.

Blessed are You, Lord, for the land and for the fruit of the vine.

The Pesach Seder is complete, according to its law, according to all its rules and its statute.
