מַה טֹּבוּ אֹהָלֶיךָ, יַעֲקֹב; מִשְׁכְּנֹתֶיךָ, יִשְׂרָאֵל

וַאֲנִי בְּרֹב חַסְדְּךָ אָבוֹא בֵיתֶךָ
אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל הֵיכַל קָדְשְׁךָ בְּיִרְאָתֶךָ

מַה טֹּבוּ אֹהָלֶיךָ, יַעֲקֹב; מִשְׁכְּנֹתֶיךָ, יִשְׂרָאֵל

ה’ אָהַבְתִּי מְעוֹן בֵּיתֶךָ וּמְקוֹם מִשְׁכַּן כְּבוֹדֶךָ
וַאֲנִי אֶשְׁתַּחֲוֶה וְאֶכְרָעָה אֶבְרְכָה לִפְנֵי ה’ עֹשִׂי

מַה טֹּבוּ אֹהָלֶיךָ, יַעֲקֹב; מִשְׁכְּנֹתֶיךָ, יִשְׂרָאֵל

וַאֲנִי תְפִלָתִי לְךָ ה’ עֵת רָצוֹן
אֱלהִים בְּרָב חַסְדֶּךָ עֲנֵנִי בֶּאֱמֶת יִשְׁעֶךָ

מַה טֹּבוּ אֹהָלֶיךָ, יַעֲקֹב; מִשְׁכְּנֹתֶיךָ, יִשְׂרָאֵל

Mah Tovu ohalecha, Yaakov, mishkenotecha, Yisrael

How Fair are your tents, O Jacob, your dwellings, O Israel.

I, through Your abundant love, enter Your house; I bow down in awe at Your holy temple.

Adonai I love Your temple abode, the dwelling-place of Your glory.
I will humbly bow down low before Adonai, my Maker.

How Fair are your tents, O Jacob, your dwellings, O Israel.

As for me, may my prayer come to You, Adonai, at a favorable time.
O God, in Your abundant faithfulness, answer me with Your sure deliverance.

How Fair are your tents, O Jacob, your dwellings, O Israel.
