Beloved of the soul, merciful Father, draw Your servant to Your will. [Then] Your servant will run like a deer; he will bow before Your splendor. To him, Your affections will be sweeter than the drippings of the honeycomb and all [other pleasant] tastes.
יְדִיד נֶֽפֶשׁ אָב הָרַחֲמָן. מְשׁוֹךְ עַבְדְּ֒ךָ אֶל רְצוֹנֶֽךָ. יָרוּץ עַבְדְּ֒ךָ כְּמוֹ אַיָּל יִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה אֶל מוּל הֲדָרֶֽךָ. יֶעֱרַב לוֹ יְדִידוֹתֶֽיךָ. מִנֹּֽפֶת צוּף וְכָל טָֽעַם:
Beloved of the soul, merciful Father, draw Your servant to Your will. [Then] Your servant will run like a deer; he will bow before Your splendor. To him, Your affections will be sweeter than the drippings of the honeycomb and all [other pleasant] tastes.
