Ekrah LeiLokim Elyon

 
אֶקְרָא


Ekrah lelohim elyon, laEl gomer alai. Yishlach mishamayim v'yoshieni, cheref shoafi selah. Yishlach Elolim, chasdo va'amito.
אֶקְרָא, לֵאלֹהִים עֶלְיוֹן; לָאֵל, גֹּמֵר עָלָי.
יִשְׁלַח מִשָּׁמַיִם, וְיוֹשִׁיעֵנִי, חֵרֵף שֹׁאֲפִי סֶלָה;
יִשְׁלַח אֱלֹהִים, חַסְדּוֹ וַאֲמִתּוֹ.

Translation:

I will cry unto God Most high; unto God that accomplishes it for me. He will send from heaven, and save me, when he that would swallow me up taunts me, Selah
God shall send forth His mercy and His truth.
