Legend has it that the Psalmist omitted that letter because it begins the root n f l נפל “to fall,” and its use would therefore remind the worshiper of the “falling” of the two Temples in Jerusalem and the subsequent exiles of the Jewish people. The only letter missing from the acrostic is נ. It takes the form of an alphabetical acrostic… as if to say “Let every single letter of the alphabet find a way to praise the Eternal One!” The ashrei is the earliest such example of the alphabetical acrostic in prayer hundreds of medieval piyyutim (poem-prayers) later followed its example. One of the best known of the Psalms, ashrei is recited three times every weekday (once at the morning service, once at the afternoon service, and once in personal prayer) and a fourth time on Shabbat (during the Torah-reading service). ת May my mouth utter the praise of Adonai, and may all flesh bless God’s name forever and ever. ש Adonai protects all those who love God, but will destroy all the wicked. ר God will fulfill the wishes of the reverent God will hear their cry and deliver them. ק Adonai is near to all those who call, to all who call upon God sincerely. צ Adonai is righteous in every way, and faithful in every deed. פ You open Your hand and feed every living creature until it is satisfied. ע The eyes of all look to You in hope, and You give them their food in due season. ס Adonai supports all those who stumble, and straightens all those who are bent. מ Your kingdom will last forever, and You will rule in every generation. ל To inform all human beings of God’s mighty acts, and the majestic glory of Your dominion. כ They will speak of the glory of Your kingdom, and will tell of Your power. י All Your works will thank You, Adonai, and Your faithful ones will bless You.
ט Adonai is good to all, and God’s tender mercies are upon all of God’s works.
#Ashrei transliteration full
ח Adonai is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and full of kindness. ז They will utter a recollection of Your abundant goodness, and will sing joyously of Your righteousness. ו They will speak of Your awesome power, and I will recount Your greatness. ה I will tell of the glorious majesty of Your splendor and of Your wondrous deeds. ד One generation lauds Your deeds to another, and tells of Your mighty acts. ג Great is Adonai and highly to be praised God’s greatness is beyond our understanding. ב Every day will I bless You, and I will praise Your name forever and ever.
א I will extol You, O God my King, and I will bless Your Name forever and ever. Happy the people who are thus fortunate happy the people whose God is Adonai.
It includes verses from other psalms at the beginning and the end.
(In the prayerbook of the Reform movement, Ashrei is recited only once in the morning service, before the Barchu in the section called " P'sukei D'zimra.")Īshrei is made up mostly of Psalm 145. In traditional practice, a person recites Ashrei at least three times a day – twice in the morning service and once in the afternoon service. Ashrei (literally, "Happy") is one of the most often repeated prayers in Jewish tradition.
