“tzedek, tzedek, tzedek teer-dof”
Justice, justice shall you pursue
“l’ma-an tee-khyeh tzedek teer-dof”
that you may live, justice shall you pursue
“yeegal, yeegal, ka’mayeem meesh-paht”
And justice shall flow down like water
“oo-tzeh-dah-kah keh-nah-khal ay-tahn”
and righteousness like a mighty stream
