Behold, how good and how pleasant!
How good and how pleasant!
With the spreading of our song,
all hearts will awaken.
Give praise with a joyful melody.
Friends, raise the glass!

Wake up! Come out with us
to our unity meeting!
This is our alliance.
In Israel, it will attain its full splendor.
From the ends of the earth, come!
From the city and from foreign lands.
And when you arrive, you will surely say,
Whoever came did not come in vain.

How beautiful and pleasant you are
with your drums and dances.
All our diverse communities will come
to the ingathering of the exiles.
Then we will sing, and voice our thanks,
we will shout and we will exclaim.
All of Israel will sing
the song of our alliance.

Prepare my voice!

Uri Shevach
