There are moments in davening that call for deeper connection, when the words themselves reach upward, yearning for closeness with Hashem. “Mimkomcha” is one of those moments.
This nigun was composed with that feeling in mind. Soulful and stirring, it’s intended to be sung in shul during the most elevated times, the moments of longing, of kavana, of dveikus. Let it become part of your tefillah, and may it help bring the words to life.
Lyrics:
מִמְּקוֹמְךָ מַלְכֵּנוּ תוֹפִיעַ וְתִמְלוֹךְ עָלֵינוּ כִּי מְחַכִּים אֲנַחְנוּ לָךְ
מָתַי תִּמְלךְ בְּצִיּוֹן בְּקָרוֹב בְּיָמֵינוּ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד תִּשְׁכּוֹן
תִּתְגַּדַּל וְתִתְקַדַּשׁ בְּתוֹךְ יְרוּשָׁלַיִם עִירְךָ לְדוֹר וָדוֹר וּלְנֵצַח נְצָחִים
וְעֵינֵינוּ תִרְאֶינָה מַלְכוּתֶךָ כַּדָּבָר הָאָמוּר בְּשִׁירֵי עֻזֶּךָ עַל יְדֵי דָּוִד מְשִׁיחַ צִדְקֶךָ
Translation:
From your place, our King, appear, and rule over us because we are waiting for You. When will You rule in Zion? Soon, in our days, forever may You dwell. May You become great and holy within Jerusalem, Your city, from generation to generation, and forever. And may our eyes see Your Kingdom as it is written in the songs of Your glory by David Your sacred anointed one.
