עַבְדֵי זְמָן עַבְדֵי עֲבָדִים הֵם –

Slaves of time are slaves of slaves—

עֶבֶד אֲדֹנָי הוּא לְבַד חָפְשִׁי:

The servant of the Lord alone is free:

עַל כֵּן בְבַקֵּשׁ כָּל-אֱנוֹשׁ חֶלְקוֹ

Therefore, when every man seeks his portion

“חֶלְקִי אֲדֹנָי!” אָמְרָה נַפְשִׁי

“The Lord is my portion!” said my soul
