Paul Wilbur - Baruch Adonai - El Shaddai Lyrics

Baruch Adonai - El Shaddai centers on a blessing directed to the Lord, the God of Israel. Its Hebrew phrases are immediately interpreted in English, allowing the repeated declaration to remain clear: the Lord is blessed from everlasting to everlasting. The movement between Hebrew and English gives the song a communal, responsive character while keeping attention on the name and praise of God.

The later lines widen that praise beyond Israel by calling the nations to sing, answer with hallelujah, and join the affirmation of amen. That language closely echoes biblical calls for all peoples to praise the Lord, while the repeated blessing recalls the doxology of Psalm 106:48. Rather than developing a long narrative, the lyric relies on repetition to emphasize enduring worship, shared confession, and the unity of many nations honoring the God of Israel.
