About the Piyut
This short Piyut is well known and sung throughout the various Jewish Mizrachi communities as a regular part of the matrimonial celebrations.
In many communities it is this Piyut that accompanies the groom as he goes to read from the Torah on the Shabbat preceding his wedding day.
In the text of this liturgical poem the author asks Adonai to surround the groom with blessings that will protect him on his chosen path.

Hebrew Text
Yismach chatani / bik’hal emunai יַנוּמֱא לַהקְִבּ יִנָתֲח חַמְשִׂי
Yisa vracha / me’et Adonai ָיְי תֵאֵמ הָכרְָב אָשִּׂי
Shadai yimaleh ta’avat libo / magen v’-tzina yih’yeh s’vivo וֹביִבְס הֶיְהִי הָנִּצְו ןֵגָמ וֹבִּל תַוֲאַתּ אֵלַּמְי יָדַּשׁ
V’-yaer oto v’yasher n’tivo / ligmor v’-lishmor darchei Adonai ָיְי יֵכרְַדּ רוֹמְשִׁלְו רוֹמְגִל וֹביִתְנ רֵשַּׁייִו וֹתוֹא רֵאָיְו
Yismach chatani / bik’hal emunai יַנוּמֱא לַהקְִבּ יִנָתֲח חַמְשִׂי
Yisa vracha / me’et Adonai ָיְי תֵאֵמ הָכרְָב אָשִּׂי
L’-rosho y’tzaveh b’rachot / v’-yisa b’-chol et k’nahar רָהָנְכּ תֵע לָכְבּ עַסִּיְו תוֹכרְָבּ הֶוַּצְי וֹשׁארְֹל
Bo yavo v’-rina noseh / yizkeh v’-yireh y’shuat Adonai ָיְי תַעוּשְׁי הֶארְִיְו הֶכְּזִי אֵשׂוֹנ הָנּרְִב אֹבָי אֹבּ
Yismach chatani / bik’hal emunai יַנוּמֱא לַהקְִבּ יִנָתֲח חַמְשִׂי
Yisa vracha / me’et Adonai ָיְי תֵאֵמ הָכרְָב אָשִּׂי

English translation by Abigail Denemark
Let my beloved rejoice in the company of believers
Let him receive a blessing from God
May the Almighty fulfill the desires of his heart, be a shield and armor around him
Enlighten him and straighten his path so he will learn and keep the ways of God
Let my beloved rejoice in the company of believers
Let him receive a blessing from God
Let Him command great blessings on his head, letting him travel always as on a peaceful river
He will return joyfully carrying sheaves, he will be worthy of seeing God’s salvation
Let my beloved rejoice in the company of believers
Let him receive blessing from God
