"Ana beko'ach" is the beautfiul song dominating the Israeli airwaves:
This song first appeared around the time of the Lebanon War, and it has never really dropped off the airwaves. The words are from a short prayer said before the beginning of Shabbat services on Friday night. In fact there are quite a few popular songs in Israel with lyrics from the prayers and other religious sources - and not just during war time. I take it as a (good) sign that the people are becoming more spiritual if not more religious.
Here's the scoop on the “Ana Bekoach” prayer . The significant part of the prayer is not the words themselves, but rather the first letter of each word. These letters taken together comprise the 42 letter name of Hashem, also known as the Holy Name of Creation. This is the easiest way to explain its presence at the beginning of the Shabbat Liturgy. Shabbat commemorates the event of creation, and the 42 letter name of Hashem related to his creativity. The reason for making this name into a prayer is that we do not actually pronounce kabbalistic names, although they are used for visualization. Making the name into a prayer lets you actually say the name, howbeit in a rather indirect way. So when you say the prayer you want to visualize the first letter of each word. Also, the 42 letter name is divided into seven lines, each with six letters. The number 6 signified the number of directions present in the world: North, South, East, West, up and down. These directions are present on each of the seven days of the week. Hence the most obvious link between this name and the Creation.

Rough translation of the lyrics:
"Please God, with the force of your power, accept the prayer of Your people. Raise us up, purify us. Please God, mighty One of the people who declare Your unity, with the force of Your power protect them, bless them with the mercy of Your charity. Always save them Holy One.
Holy One, in all Your goodness, lead Your people, turn to Your people who remember Your holiness. Accept our prayer and hear our cry, the One who knows secrets."

**** ***** ***** *****
The Kabbalists reveal that this sequence of Hebrew letters encompasses the actual power of creation. The Ana B'Koach is built from 42 letters and is also known as the 42 Letter Name of God. Whenever we make a connection the 42 Letter Name, we are tapping into the primordial force of creation." "Ana BeKoach (Ana BeCoach or Ana B'Koach) prayer was written in the first century by a great kabalistic Rabbi - Rabbi Nehonia. It is said daily at least 3 times, often more, if it's Shabbat or Yontif. [Holy Day.]"

The 42 Letter Name of God is an ancient word of Power. This Name of God is divided into seven lines.
Each line can be seen as a DNA sequence that represent seven different types of energy. Each line, or sequence, contains six words that provide Divine Energy for helping us to solve the problems of life.
Line 1: This is the most powerful line of the prayer, created to be concentrated upon in time of extreme stress or danger; the DNA sequence of power to provide sustenance in a time of dire need.
Line 2: Grants the user the power to move events and control negative forces.
Line 3: Empowers one with the ability to make the right decision, with the proper balance and compassion.
Line 4: Grants the endurance necessary to follow through and prove victorious.
