Joseph Friedlander, comp. The Standard Book of Jewish Verse. 1917.

By Florence Weisberg

Nishmas

THE BREATH of ev’ry living thing,

O Lord, shall bless Thy Name;

The spirit of all flesh on earth

Thy glory shall proclaim.

For Thou art God for evermore,

Beside Thee we have none;

No king, nor saviour who redeems,

Save Thou! Almighty One!

Thou settest free, and bring’st us aid

In times of grief or woe;

With mercies great and manifold;

No King but Thee we know!
