Healer of the broken-hearted / who counts the stars & calls each one by name (Psalm 147)

Harofei lishvurei lev um'khabesh l'atz'votam
moneh mispar lakokhavim l'khulam shemot yikra

הָ֣רוֹפֵא לִשְׁב֣וּרֵי לֵ֑ב וּ֜מְחַבֵּ֗שׁ לְעַצְּבוֹתָֽם

All are loved, all are clear, all are heroic
All work in awe to fulfill divine wants

Shnirele perele gilderne fon
Meshiekh ben Dovid zist oybn on
Halt a bekher in der rekhter hant
Makht a brokhe afn gantsn land
Oy, omeyn v'omeyn dos iz vor

Veln zayn gute tsaytn
Vet er kumen tsu geyn
Veln di yidn in eretz yisroyl aynshteyn

Ribbons, pearls, golden flags
the Messiah, son of David, is above us
he holds a goblet in his right hand
and gives his blessing to the whole earth.

Amen, amen, this is the truth
the Messiah will come this year.

If he comes by riding, good years are ahead. 
If he comes by horse, new times are ahead.
If he comes by foot, every Jew will be in eretz yisroel

Translation:
A graceful doe supports me in exileAnd here in her bosom she’ll lodge me.To drink from her cup I am always prepared,She mingles her wine with my lees.Before me, my friends, drink and be drunk,Rouse the reason that’s sleeping within me.There in her palace sits the daughter of kings,Her table ready for those who are with me.For every lover there comes a time to part,But with ardor my love shall recall me.He adorns his lady with grace and with kindness,In paths of grace and of kindness he leads me.For my beloved I spread out the clouds of the heavens,My desire she never denies me.Fifty are her gates, solid and firm, and withThe favor of Leah her wisdom sustains me.She arouses Rachel’s love for her children,Unto the tenth kingdom’s secret she’ll raise me.God, hasten to bring unto thine people salvation,And may my tongue be made pure within me.Thy great peace shall encompass those whole of heart,The sons of the pure man, a charm unto thee.

JEWISH COMMUNAL SINGING FOR HEALING AND LIBERATION
Let My People Sing! is a cultural project expanding the ancient and transformative practice of Jewish communal singing. We gather in multi-racial, multicultural and genderful Jewish community, uplifting songs and leaders historically and ongoingly pushed to the margins. Together, we transmit and reclaim diasporic Jewish singing traditions, celebrate original music emerging from our communities, and create heart-centered gatherings where we can all be leaders and learners of song.
