Kabbalat Shabbat: Psalm 95

  1. לְכוּ נְרַנְּנָה לַיהֹוָה נָרִֽיעָה לְצוּר יִשְׁעֵֽנוּ: נְקַדְּמָה פָנָיו בְּתוֹדָה בִּזְמִרוֹת נָרִֽיעַ לוֹ: כִּי אֵל גָּדוֹל יְהֹוָה וּמֶֽלֶךְ גָּדוֹל עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִים: אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדוֹ מֶחְקְרֵי־אָֽרֶץ וְתוֹעֲפוֹת הָרִים לוֹ: אֲשֶׁר־לוֹ הַיָּם וְהוּא עָשָֽׂהוּ וְיַבֶּֽשֶׁת יָדָיו יָצָֽרוּ: בֹּֽאוּ נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה וְנִכְרָֽעָה נִבְרְכָה לִפְנֵי־יְהֹוָה עֹשֵֽׂנוּ: כִּי הוּא אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ וַאֲנַֽחְנוּ עַם מַרְעִיתוֹ וְצֹאן יָדוֹ הַיּוֹם אִם־בְּקֹלוֹ תִשְׁמָֽעוּ: אַל־תַּקְשׁוּ לְבַבְכֶם כִּמְרִיבָה כְּיוֹם מַסָּה בַּמִּדְבָּר: אֲשֶׁר נִסּֽוּנִי אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם בְּחָנֽוּנִי גַּם־רָאוּ פָעֳלִי: אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה אָקוּט בְּדוֹר וָאֹמַר עַם תֹּעֵי לֵבָב הֵם וְהֵם לֹא־יָדְעוּ דְרָכָי: אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּֽעְתִּי בְאַפִּי אִם־יְבֹאוּן אֶל־מְנוּחָתִי:

    Come, let us sing to Adonoy; let us sound the shofar to the Rock of our deliverance. Let us greet His Presence with thanksgiving, with hymns let us raise our voices unto Him. For a great Almighty is Adonoy and a great King over all gods. For in His hands are the depths of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are His; For the sea is His, and He made it, and the dry land, His hands formed. Come, let us prostrate ourselves and bow; let us kneel before Adonoy, our Maker. For He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, and the flock of His hand, [even] today if you will heed His voice. Do not harden your heart as at Merivah, as on the day of Massah in the desert. When your fathers tested Me, they tried Me, though they had seen My work. Forty years I quarreled with that generation; and I said, “They are a people of erring hearts, and they did not know my ways.” Therefore I swore in My anger, “They shall not enter My resting place.”

Kabbalat Shabbat: Psalm 96

  1. שִֽׁירוּ לַיהֹוָה שִׁיר חָדָשׁ שִֽׁירוּ לַיהֹוָה כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ: שִֽׁירוּ לַיהֹוָה בָּרְכוּ שְׁמוֹ בַּשְּׂרוּ מִיּוֹם־לְיוֹם יְשׁוּעָתוֹ: סַפְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם כְּבוֹדוֹ בְּכָל־הָעַמִּים נִפְלְאוֹתָיו: כִּי גָדוֹל יְהֹוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד נוֹרָא הוּא עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִים: כִּי כָּל־אֱלֹהֵי הָעַמִּים אֱלִילִים וַיהֹוָה שָׁמַֽיִם עָשָׂה: הוֹד־וְהָדָר לְפָנָיו עֹז וְתִפְאֶֽרֶת בְּמִקְדָּשׁוֹ: הָבוּ לַיהֹוָה מִשְׁפְּחוֹת עַמִּים הָבוּ לַיהֹוָה כָּבוֹד וָעֹז: הָבוּ לַיהֹוָה כְּבוֹד שְׁמוֹ שְׂאוּ־מִנְחָה וּבֹֽאוּ לְחַצְרוֹתָיו: הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַיהֹוָה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹֽדֶשׁ חִֽילוּ מִפָּנָיו כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ: אִמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ אַף־תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל־תִּמּוֹט יָדִין עַמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרִים: יִשְׂמְחוּ הַשָּׁמַֽיִם וְתָגֵל הָאָֽרֶץ יִרְעַם הַיָּם וּמְלֹאוֹ: יַעֲלֹז שָׂדַי וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ אָז יְרַנְּנוּ כָּל־עֲצֵי־יָֽעַר: לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה כִּי בָא כִּי בָא לִשְׁפֹּט הָאָֽרֶץ יִשְׁפֹּט־תֵּבֵל בְּצֶֽדֶק וְעַמִּים בֶּאֱמוּנָתוֹ:

    Sing to Adonoy a new song Sing to Adonoy all the [inhabitants of] earth. Sing to Adonoy, bless His Name, proclaim His deliverance from day to day. Recount His glory among the nations, His wonders among all the peoples. For Adonoy is great and most extolled; He is awesome above all gods. For all the gods of the nations are idols, whereas Adonoy made the heavens. Beauty and splendor are before Him, strength and glory are in His Sanctuary. Ascribe to Adonoy—families of peoples— —ascribe to Adonoy honor and might! Ascribe to Adonoy the honor due His Name, bring an offering and come to His courtyards. Prostrate yourselves before Adonoy in the splendor of holiness; tremble before Him all (peoples of) the earth! Declare among the nations, “Adonoy reigns!” for He established the world so that it cannot be moved, He will judge the peoples with uprightness. The heavens will rejoice, the earth will exult, the sea and its fullness will roar. The field and all that is in it will jubilate, then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy. Before Adonoy when He comes— when He comes to judge the earth; He will judge mankind with justice, and peoples with His truth.

Kabbalat Shabbat: Psalm 97

  1. יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ תָּגֵל הָאָֽרֶץ יִשְׂמְחוּ אִיִּים רַבִּים: עָנָן וַעֲרָפֶל סְבִיבָיו צֶֽדֶק וּמִשְׁפָּט מְכוֹן כִּסְאוֹ: אֵשׁ לְפָנָיו תֵּלֵךְ וּתְלַהֵט סָבִיב צָרָיו: הֵאִֽירוּ בְרָקָיו תֵּבֵל רָאֲתָה וַתָּחֵל הָאָֽרֶץ: הָרִים כַּדּוֹנַג נָמַֽסּוּ מִלִּפְנֵי יְהֹוָה מִלִּפְנֵי אֲדוֹן כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ: הִגִּֽידוּ הַשָּׁמַֽיִם צִדְקוֹ וְרָאוּ כָל־הָעַמִּים כְּבוֹדוֹ: יֵבֽשׁוּ כָּל־עֹֽבְדֵי פֶֽסֶל הַמִּתְהַלְלִים בָּאֱלִילִים הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ־לוֹ כָּל־אֱלֹהִים: שָׁמְעָה וַתִּשְׂמַח צִיּוֹן וַתָּגֵֽלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה לְמַֽעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ יְהֹוָה: כִּי־אַתָּה יְהֹוָה עֶלְיוֹן עַל־כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ מְאֹד נַעֲלֵֽיתָ עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִים: אֹהֲבֵי יְהֹוָה שִׂנְאוּ רָע שֹׁמֵר נַפְשׁוֹת חֲסִידָיו מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים יַצִּילֵם: אוֹר זָרֻֽעַ לַצַּדִּיק וּלְיִשְׁרֵי־לֵב שִׂמְחָה: שִׂמְחוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּיהֹוָה וְהוֹדוּ לְזֵֽכֶר קָדְשׁוֹ:

    When Adonoy is [universally accepted as] King the earth will exult; the multitudes of islands will rejoice. Clouds and dense darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundations of His throne. Fire will go before Him to surround and burn His antagonists. His lightning illuminates the inhabited world, the earth sees and trembles. The mountains melt like wax before Adonoy, before the Master of all the earth. The heavens will declare His righteousness and all the peoples will behold His glory. Humiliated will be all who serve graven images, who are proud of idols; before Him all gods will bow. Zion will hear and rejoice, and the daughters [cities] of Judah will exult because of Your judgments, Adonoy. For You, Adonoy, are most high over all the earth; You are greatly exalted above all gods. Lovers of Adonoy, hate evil! He preserves the souls of His pious ones; from the hand of the wicked, He saves them. Light is sown for the righteous, and for the upright in heart—joy. Rejoice, righteous ones, in Adonoy, and give thanks to His holy Name.

    A Psalm. Sing to Adonoy, a new song for He has performed wonders; His right hand effected deliverance for Him [as did] His holy arm. Adonoy has made known His deliverance, before the eyes of the nations He has revealed His justice. He remembered His kindliness and faithfulness to the House of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the deliverance of our God. Raise your voice unto Adonoy all [inhabitants of] the earth! burst forth into exultation, sing, and play music! Play to Adonoy with a harp, with harp and the sound of music. With trumpets and the sound of the shofar raise your voices before the King, Adonoy. The sea and its fullness, will roar with joy! [also] the world and those who dwell therein. Rivers will clap hands, together, mountains will sing. Before Adonoy when He comes to judge the earth; He will judge mankind with righteousness and peoples with uprightness.

    When Adonoy is [universally accepted as] King, peoples will tremble; [Before Him Who is] enthroned on Cherubim, the earth will quake. Adonoy, is great in Zion, and is high above all the peoples. They will pay homage to Your Name, [saying], great and awesome, It is holy. The might of the King is [evidenced in] His love of justice, You have established uprightness, justice and charity amid Jacob You have instituted. Exalt Adonoy, our God, and prostrate yourselves at His footstool, holy is He. Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among those who invoke His Name, called to Adonoy, and He answered them. In a pillar of cloud He spoke to them ; they preserved His testimonies and the statute which He gave them. Adonoy, our God, You answered them; You were a forgiving God to them, [yet] You took vengeance for their misdeeds. Exalt Adonoy, our God, and prostrate yourselves at His holy mountain; for Adonoy, our God, is holy.

    It is customary to stand during the recitation of the following psalm. A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Adonoy— you sons of the mighty — ascribe to Adonoy glory and might. Ascribe to Adonoy the glory due His Name, prostrate yourselves before Adonoy in the splendor of holiness. Adonoy's voice is upon the waters. Almighty of glory thunders, Adonoy is upon [the] many waters. The voice of Adonoy is in power, the voice of Adonoy is in beauty. The voice of Adonoy breaks cedars, Adonoy shatters the cedars of Lebanon. He makes them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like unicorns. The voice of Adonoy hews out flames of fire. The voice of Adonoy makes the desert tremble, Adonoy makes tremble the desert of Kadesh. The voice of Adonoy causes hinds to calve, and strips the forests bare; and in His Sanctuary all proclaim [His] glory. Adonoy sat enthroned (even) at the flood Adonoy is enthroned as King forever. Adonoy will give strength to His people; Adonoy will bless His people with peace.

    A Psalm, a song for the Shabbos day. It is good to thank Adonoy, and sing praise to Your Name, Most High. To relate Your kindliness in the morning, and Your faithfulness in the nights. Upon a ten-stringed instrument and lute, in meditation upon the harp. For You have given me joy, Adonoy, with Your deeds, at the work of Your hands I sing joyously. How great are Your works, Adonoy; how infinitely profound are Your thoughts. An empty-headed man cannot know, nor does a fool understand this: When the wicked bloom like grass, and all the evildoers blossom— it is so that they may be destroyed forever. But You will remain on high forever Adonoy. For behold, Your enemies, Adonoy; For behold, Your enemies shall perish; dispersed shall be all evildoers. You uplifted my horn like that of a unicorn; I am saturated with fresh oil. My eye has seen [the defeat of] those who spy on me; of the wicked who rise against me, my ears have heard [that they are doomed]. The righteous will blossom like a date palm, like a cedar in Lebanon, he will grow tall. Planted in the House of Adonoy, in the courtyards of our God they will blossom. They will still be fruitful in old age; they will be full of sap and freshness. To declare that Adonoy is upright; He is my Stronghold; in Whom there is no injustice.

  1. יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ גֵּאוּת לָבֵשׁ לָבֵשׁ יְהֹוָה עֹז הִתְאַזָּר אַף־תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל־תִּמּוֹט: נָכוֹן כִּסְאֲךָ מֵאָז מֵעוֹלָם אָֽתָּה: נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת יְהֹוָה נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת קוֹלָם יִשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת דָּכְיָם: מִקֹּלוֹת מַֽיִם רַבִּים אַדִּירִים מִשְׁבְּרֵי־יָם אַדִּיר בַּמָּרוֹם יְהֹוָה: עֵדֹתֶֽיךָ נֶאֶמְנוּ מְאֹד לְבֵיתְךָ נָֽאֲוָה־קֹּֽדֶשׁ יְהֹוָה לְאֹֽרֶךְ יָמִים:

    Adonoy had begun His reign He has clothed Himself with majesty; Adonoy has clothed Himself, He has girded Himself with strength. He has firmly established the world so that it cannot be moved. Your throne stands firm from of old, You are from eternity. The rivers have raised—Adonoy— the rivers have raised their voice, the rivers raise their raging waves. More than the sound of many waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea Mighty on high, are You, Adonoy. Your testimonies are extremely faithful, holiness is becoming to Your House, Adonoy—for the length of days.
