Lyrics

טוֹב לְהוֹדוֹת לַה',

וּלְזַמֵּר לְשִׁמְךָ עֶלְיוֹן.

לְהַגִּיד בַּבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ,

וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ בַּלֵּילוֹת.


עֲ‍לֵי־עָשׂוֹר וַעֲלֵי־נָבֶל

עֲלֵי הִגָּיוֹן בְּכִנּוֹר.

כִּי שִׂמַּחְתַּנִי ה' בְּפָעֳלֶךָ,

בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ אֲרַנֵּן.

מַה־גָּדְלוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ ה',

מְאֹד עָמְקוּ מַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ.
