“Ilu Finu”
(Shabbat morning liturgy)
אִלּוּ פִינוּ
מָלֵא שִׁירָה כַּיָּם
וּלְשׁוֹנֵנוּ רִנָּה
כַּהֲמוֹן גַּלָּיו
אֵין אֲנַחְנוּ מַסְפִּיקִים
לְהוֹדוֹת לְךָ
וְשִׂפְתוֹתֵינוּ שֶׁבַח
כְּמֶרְחֲבֵי רָקִיעַ
וְעֵינֵינוּ מְאִירוֹת
כַּשֶּׁמֶשׁ וְכַיָּרֵחַ
אֵין אֲנַחְנוּ מַסְפִּיקִים
לְהוֹדוֹת לְךָ
וְיָדֵינוּ פְרוּשׂוֹת
כְּנִשְׁרֵי שָׁמָיִם
וְרַגְלֵינוּ קַלּוֹת כָּאַיָּלוֹת
אֵין אֲנַחְנוּ מַסְפִּיקִים
לְהוֹדוֹת לְךָ

Even if our mouths
Were filled with song like the sea
And our tongues with exultation
Like the roaring of its waves
We would never sufficiently
Thank You
And our lips with praise
Like the breadth of the firmament
And our eyes were radiant
Like the sun and the moon
We would never sufficiently
Thank You
If our hands were outstreched
Like eagles of the sky
And our feet as swift as hinds
We would never sufficiently
Thank You
