A piyut for Rosh Hashana: Adonai Shamati

 The words of this stirring psalm or piyut, Adonai Shmati,  sung on Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, echo the verses of the Prophet Habbakuk 3:2. Here are various interpretations in the Sephardi style.


                                                     Lord, I have heard of your fame;

                                                   I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. 

                           Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known 

                                                             In wrath remember mercy.

This 'piyut'  is sung by Cantor Hagay Batzri
