Aná bechoach (Hebrew: אנא בכח) is a mystical poem, in which there are six words per line and a total of seven lines. The last sentence is not counted, as it is an exclamation of praise to the Most High Gd; The sentence is not counted because the 42 words previously said would correspond to one of G-d's names, made up of 42 two letters; hence, after saying His Holy Name, there is nothing better than praising Him. However, it is not an acronym. 42 were also the number of stops that the people of Israel made, from Egypt to the Holy Land, during the Exodus. written by Rabbi Flow and Rabbi Micah. Transliterated Hebrew אנא, בכח גדולת ימינך תתיר צרורה: Aná bechoach g'dulat iemincha tatir tzerurah. קבל רינת עמך, שגבנו, טהרנו, נורא: Cabel rinat amecháa saguevenu taharenu norá. נא גבור, דורשי ייחודך. כבבת שמרם: Na guibor dorshê Yichudecha k'vavat shomrem. ברכם, טהרם, רחמי צידקתך תמיד גמלם: Barachem taharem Rachamei tzidktech tamid gomlem. חסין קדוש, ברב טובך נהל עדתך: Chasin Kadosh, b'rov tuvcha nahel adatecha. יחיד גאה, לעמך פנה, זוכרי קדושתך: Yachid gueê, l'am'acha p'neh, zochrei K'dushatecha. שוועתנו קבל ושמע צעקתנו, יודע תעלומות: Shavatenu cabel, ush'máa tza'akatenu, yodeha ta'alumot. ברוך שם כבוד מלכותו לעולם ועד: Baruch shem kevôd malchuto leolam vaed. English Deliver us, I pray, from the bonds of passion by the strength of Your right hand. Accept the cry of Your people, O fearful God, exalt us and purify us. O most powerful G-d, preserve as the pupil of your eyes those who defend Your Unity. Bless us, purify us, grant us with Your kind justice, continuous reward. You who are the Most High and Holy, guide Your congregated people, with abundance of generosity. You who are the exalted Unity, turn to Your people who always remember Your holiness. Accept our prayers and hear our cries, O You who know the secret. Benedict is the name of the One whose glorious kingdom is eternal.
