This song, usually grouped among those for Friday night, is a Shabbat favorite even though its content is not Shabbat-specific. This popular rendition of Rabbi Israel Najara’s Aramaic poem from 16th-century Safed and Damascus is performed by its composer, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach (1925–1994). The refrain: “God, Sovereign of all worlds, You are… King of Kings. It is fitting that Your mighty deeds and wonders be recounted.” The text, with English translation and transliteration, can be seen here, where “Yah” has been replaced by “Kah” to avoid profaning a divine name.
