Question
Please could you translate "Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" for me, and tell me how to find out about it's pronunciation? I'd like to use the words in a song.
Thank you.

Answer
Janet,

In Hebrew, it is "Hoshanna l'Ben Dahveed! Meh'vorah ze sh'bah b'shem Adonai! Hoshanna Rabbah!

הושענה לבן דויד! מבורך זה שבא בשם אדוני! הושענה רבא!
