אַחַת שָׁאַלְתִּי מֵאֵת־יְהוָה
אוֹתָהּ אֲבַקֵּשׁ

שִׁבְתִּי בְּבֵית־יְהוָה
כָּל־יְמֵי חַיַּי
לַחֲזוֹת בְּנֹעַם־יְהוָה

וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵיכָלוֹ
וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵיכָלוֹ
וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵיכָלוֹ
וּלְבַקֵּר בְּהֵיכָלוֹ

One thing I ask of Hashem
only this do I seek

to live in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life
to gaze upon the beauty of Hashem

to return again and again to the Holy palace
