טוֹב לְהֹדוֹת לַיהוה וּלְזַמֵּר לְשִׁמְךָ עֶלְיוֹן: לְהַגִּיד בַּבֹּֽקֶר חַסְדֶּֽךָ וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ בַּלֵּילוֹת:
It is good to thank Adonoy, and sing praise to Your Name, Most High. To relate Your kindliness in the morning, and Your faithfulness in the nights.
Tov l'hodot l'Adonai ul'zamer l'shimkha elyon
L'hagid baboker chasdekha v'emunatkha baleylot
