עוד לא אבדה תקותנו, | ‘Od lo avdah tikvateinu, | Our hope is not yet lost, |
התקוה הנושנה, | Hatikvah hannoshanah, | The ancient hope, |
לשוב לארץ אבותינו, | Lashuv le’eretz avoteinu, | To return to the land of our fathers, |
לעיר בה דוד חנה. | La‘ir bah david k’hanah. | The city where David encamped. —Hatikvah |
