אנא אמצאך
Ana Amtzecha / Where Shall I Find You
אָנָה אֶמְצָאֶךָּ?
[God,] where shall I find you?
מְקוֹמְךָ נַעֲלָה וְנֶעְלָם!
High and hidden is your place;
וְאָנָה לֹא אֶמְצָאֶךָּ?
And where shall I not find you?
כְּבוֹדְךָ מָלֵא עוֹלָם!
The world is full of your kavod.
…
…
דָּרַשְׁתִּי קִרְבָתְךָ,
I have sought your nearness,
בְּכׇל־לִבִּי קְרָאתִיךָ,
With all my heart have I called you,
וּבְצֵאתִי לִקְרָאתְךָ –
And going out to meet you
לִקְרָאתִי מצָאתִיךָ
I found you coming toward me
