Hineni Hineni, Here I am
（看了一篇解释科恩重译捆绑以撒典故的文章）
Hineni是希伯来语中Here I am的意思，它不止是上帝呼唤亚伯拉罕时亚伯拉罕的应答，还是犹太教堂中使用的一则表示谦卑的祷词。这首歌的创作距离科恩逝世只有两个月了，它也许不只是在讲述自己对死亡的准备(I’m ready, my Lord)。在这首歌中：
“Cohen speaks directly to God just to describe before Him the bleak picture of the human condition, of generations and generations who lit their candles FOR THE HELP THAT NEVER CAME.”
尽管如此，科恩对创作Hallelujah一曲意图的解释还是令人动容：
“I wanted to stand with those who clearly see God’s holy broken world for what it is, and still find the courage on the heart to praise it.“
