Hebrew
אֵל נָא תָּעִינוּ כְּשֶׂה אוֹבֵד,
שְׁמֵנוּ מִסִּפְרְךָ אַל תְּאַבֵּד,<sup>1</sup>
הוֹשַׁעְנָא וְהוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא: אֵל נָא
רְעֵה אֶת צֹאן הַהֲרֵגָה, קְצוּפָה
וְעָלֶיךָ הֲרוּגָה, הוֹשַׁעְנָא
וְהוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא: אֵל נָא צֹאנְךָ וְצֹאן

הוֹשַׁעְנָא וְהוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא: אֵל נָא
עֲנִיֵּי הַצֹּאן, שִׂיחָם עֲנֵה בְּעֵת
רָצוֹן, הוֹשַׁעְנָא וְהוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא:
אֵל נָא נוֹשְׂאֵי לְךָ עָיִן,
מִתְקוֹמְמֵיהֶם יִהְיוּ כְאַיִן, הוֹשַׁעְנָא
וְהוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא: אֵל נָא לְמַנְסְכֵי לָךְ
מַיִם, כְּמַעְיְנֵי הַיְשׁוּעָה יִשְׁאֲבוּן
מַיִם, הוֹשַׁעְנָא וְהוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא: אֵל
נָא יַעֲלוּ לְצִיּוֹן מוֹשִׁיעִים, טְפוּלִים
בָּךְ וּבְשִׁמְךָ נוֹשָׁעִים, הוֹשַׁעְנָא
וְהוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא: אֵל נָא חֲמוּץ בְּגָדִים,
זְעֹם לְנַעֵר כָּל בּוֹגְדִים, הוֹשַׁעְנָא
וְהוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא: אֵל נָא וְזָכוֹר תִּזְכּוֹר,
הַנְּכוּרֵי בְּלֶתֶךָ וְכוֹר, הוֹשַׁעְנָא
וְהוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא: אֵל נָא דּוֹרְשֶׁיךָ
בַּעֲנָפֵי עֲרָבוֹת, גְּעֵיִים שַׁעֵה
מֵעֲרָבוֹת, הוֹשַׁעְנָא וְהוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא:
אֵל נָא בָּרֵךְ בַּעֲטוּר שָׁנָה, אִמְרֵי
רְצֵה בְּפִלּוּלִי בְּיוֹם הוֹשַׁעְנָא,
הוֹשַׁעְנָא וְהוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא:
