הַאֲזִינוּ שָׁמַיִם וַאֲדַמָּה — Give ear, I open my ear and heart before You Not to flee the world, not to lock You inside it שֶׁתּוֹרָתְךָ תֵּרֵד — so Your teaching is heard in a human mouth לַמְּדֵנִי לִרְאוֹת — what was, what is, what will be Stand between them בְּלִי שֶׁקֶר וּבְלִי יֵאוּשׁ שֶׁמַע אֱמֶת in my ears Discernment in my mind Words that neither flatter nor crush אֶקַּח תְּחִלָּה — receive first, then speak הֲשִׁיבֵנִי as movement: שׁוּבָה From what I left to what I still owe From what I have been to what You call me to become צִנּוֹר נֶאֱמָן — heaven to earth, סוד to פשט Amen
