Translation of Hebrew Lyrics
El Shaddai is most often translated as "God Almighty (אל שׁדי)."
El-Elyon na Adonai is a combination of two names for God, meaning "God Most High (אל עליון), O Lord (אדני)" (na (נא) is a particle of entreaty, sometimes translated "please" but often left untranslated).
Erkamka na Adonai is taken from Psalm 18:1 (except for the "na," which is added) and is normally translated "I love you (ארחמך), O Lord." Psalm 18:1 is the only place that the Hebrew Bible uses this verb for love in the Qal stem; this is normally an Aramaic usage. Hebrew uses this verb in the Piel stem.
