Lyrics:
דָּבְקָה נַפְשִׁי אַחֲרֶיךָ בִּי תָּמְכָה יְמִינֶךָ
כֵּן בַּקֹּדֶשׁ חֲזִיתִךָ לִרְאוֹת עֻזְּךָ וּכְבוֹדֶךָ
צָמְאָה לְךָ נַפְשִׁי כָּמַהּ לְךָ בְשָׂרִי
(Tehillim, 63)

Translation:
My soul cleaves to You, Your right hand upholds me.
So have I looked for You in the sanctuary,
to see Your power and Your glory.
My soul thirsts for You, my flesh longs for You.


Composed by: Reb Shmuel Brazil.
Soloists: Reb Abish Brodt.
