Ten measures of beauty 
Softly descended on the world 
So graceful and impeccable 
In the hands of the Creator of the universe 

Ten measures of heroism 
Descended with music to the world 
Without shadow and without fear 
In the hands of the Creator of the universe 

Ten measures to the world 
Descended as if on scales 
Only one for the world 
Nine of them for Jerusalem 

Ten measures of wisdom 
Descended on the world 
A voice so thin and silent 
In the hands of the Creator of the universe 

Ten measures of Torah 
Descended warmly on the world 
Shining brightly 
In the hands of the Creator of the universe 

Ten measures to the world...
