| Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917. | | | | Adon Olam | | By George Borrow |
| | | REIGNED the universe’s Master, ere were earthly things begun; | |
| When his mandate all created Ruler was the name He won; | |
| And alone He’ll rule tremendous when all things are past and gone. | |
| He no equal has, nor consort, He, the singular and lone, | |
| Has no end and no beginning; His the sceptre, might, and throne, | 5 |
| He’s my God and living Saviour, rock to whom in need I run; | |
| He’s my banner and my refuge, fount of weal when called upon; | |
| In His hand I place my spirit, at night-fall and rise of sun, | |
| And therewith my body also; God’s my God—I fear no one. | | | | |
