(Nigun)
Ashrei ha’ish asher lo halach
Ba’atz-at r’sha-im
Ki yode’a Adonai
De-rech tzadikim
A tree is planted in the soil of God
Its leaves like prophesies of hope and love
Its limbs reach up like wings toward heaven ---
Its roots grow strong with Adonai, they thrive
Abundant fragrance of fruits and flowers
Reflected in the rippling stream
Creates eternal praise in earthly bowers
K’eytz shat-ul al palgey mayim
