לְבַד הַנְּשָׁמָה הַטְּהוֹרָה
שֶׁהִיא עֲתִידָה לִתֵּן דִּין וְחֶשְׁבּוֹן לִפְנֵי כִסֵּא כְבוֹדֶךָ.
וְכָל הַגּוֹיִם כְּאַיִן נֶגְדֶּךָ
שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר
הֵן גּוֹיִם כְּמַר מִדְּלִי, וּכְשַׁחַק מֹאזְנַיִם נֶחְשָׁבוּ
הֵן אִיִּים כַּדַּק יִטּוֹל:

levad haneshamah hatehorah
shehi atidah liten din vecheshbon lifnei chise chevodecha.
vechol hagoyim ke'ayin negdecha

hen iyim kadak yitol:

apart from the pure soul that will one day give report before Your glorious throne. And all the nations are as nothing before You, as it is said: "Nations are as a drop in the bucket, considered as the dust left on the scales; He lifts up the islands like fine sand."

Hebrew

אֲבָל אֲנַחְנוּ עַמְּךָ בְּנֵי בְרִיתֶךָ
בְּנֵי אַבְרָהָם אֹהַבְךָ שֶׁנִּשְׁבַּעְתָּ לּוֹ בְּהַר הַמּוֹרִיָּה
זֶרַע יִצְחָק יְחִידוֹ שֶׁנֶּעֱקַד עַל גַּבֵּי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ
עֲדַת יַעֲקֹב בִּנְךָ בְּכוֹרֶךָ
שֶׁמֵּאַהֲבָתְךָ שֶׁאָהַבְתָּ אוֹתוֹ, וּמִשִּׂמְחָתְךָ שֶׁשָּׂמַחְתָּ בּוֹ
קָרָאתָ אֶת שְׁמוֹ יִשְׂרָאֵל וִישֻׁרוּן.

Aval anachnu amecha benei veritecha
benei Avraham ohavecha shenishbata lo behar hamoriyah
zera Yitzchak yechido shene'ekad al gabei hamizbe'ach
adat Yaakov bincha bechorecha
sheme'ahavatecha she'ahavta oto, umisimchatecha shesamachta bo
karata et shemo Yisrael vishurun.

English

But we are Your people, the children of Your covenant, the children of Abraham, Your beloved, to whom You made a promise on Mount Moriah; the offspring of Isaac his only one who was bound on the altar; the congregation of Jacob Your firstborn son whom – because of the love with which You loved him and the joy with which You rejoiced in him – You called Yisrael and Yeshurun.

Hebrew

לְפִיכָךְ אֲנַחְנוּ חַיָּבִים
לְהוֹדוֹת לְךָ וּלְשַׁבֵּחֲךָ וּלְפָאֶרְךָ
וּלְבָרֵךְ וּלְקַדֵּשׁ וְלָתֵת שֶׁבַח וְהוֹדָיָה לְשִׁמְךָ.
אַשְׁרֵינוּ, מַה טּוֹב חֶלְקֵנוּ
וּמַה נָּעִים גּוֹרָלֵנוּ, וּמַה יָפָה יְרֻשָּׁתֵנוּ.

English

Therefore it is our duty to thank You, and to praise, glorify, bless, sanctify and give praise and thanks to Your name. Happy are we, how good is our portion, how lovely our fate, how beautiful our heritage.

Hebrew

אַשְׁרֵינוּ, שֶׁאָנוּ מַשְׁכִּימִים וּמַעֲרִיבִים
בְּבָתֵּי כְנֵסִיּוֹת וּבְבָתֵּי מִדְרָשׁוֹת
וּמְיַחֲדִים שִׁמְךָ בְּכָל יוֹם תָּמִיד וְאוֹמְרִים פַּעֲמַיִם בְּאַהֲבָה

Happy are we who come early and late to synagogues and study houses, and proclaim the unity of Your name every day, continually, and twice recite with love –
