**Koren/Steinsaltz:**
Come, let us sing to Adonoy; let us sound the shofar to the Rock of our deliverance.¹ Let us greet His Presence with thanksgiving,² with hymns let us raise our voices unto Him. For a great Almighty is Adonoy and a great King over all gods.³ For in His hands are the depths⁴ 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] today⁵ if you will heed His voice. Do not harden your heart as at Merivah, as on the day of Massah⁶ in the desert. When your fathers tested Me,⁷ 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.”⁸

footnotes:
¹ Israel will say these words in the days of the Messiah, when Jews will inspire each other to sing to Almighty God Who delivered them.—Radak
² Expressions of thanksgiving are considered of the highest virtue, as it is said, ‘As for myself, with expressions of thanksgiving I sacrifice to you.’—Jonah 2
³ ‘Are there any other gods?’ asks the Midrash, and answers by citing verse 5 of the next Psalm, ‘All the gods of the nations are idols.’
⁴ Metsudas Dovid offers another translation: ‘In His hands are the hidden things of the earth,’ referring to things which require much study and thought in order to be understood.
⁵ It is possible for us to reach this high level and to be accepted as His flock even this very day, if we would hearken to His voice.—Dover Sholom
⁶ The Jews complained and murmured at the lack of water during their wanderings in the wilderness (Exodus 17:1-17; Numbers 20:1-13).
⁷ The words from here till the end of the Psalm, are the actual words of the Divine Presence that emanated from the throat of Moses, שְׁכִינָה מְדַבֶּרֶת מִתּוֹךְ גְרוֹנוֹ שֶׁל משֶׁה — Eyun Tfiloh
⁸ The Holy Land is described as the land of rest (Deuteronomy 12:9).

**Koren/Steinsaltz:**
Sing to Adonoy a new song⁹ 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 splendor¹⁰ 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,¹¹ 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.

footnotes:
⁹ Israel will sing a new song of praise to God in the future, when He gathers us together from our exile. This new song will be in addition to those we now sing.—Radak According to our Sages, every time a ‘new song’ is mentioned, it refers to future events. Fresh mercies and deliverance demand fresh expressions of thanksgiving and homage.
¹⁰ Etz Yosef understands this as the holy splendor of God’s Sanctuary. Tzelosa D’Avraham sees it as the splendor and mode of worship before God, as compared with secular or frivolous manifestations of beauty and splendor.
¹¹ Simcha (rejoicing) describes one’s feeling at a new experience of happiness, whereas gila (exultation) describes the feeling one experiences over an ongoing situation of joy. Since there is nothing new on the earth (Koheleth) it is said that the earth will exult (gila) but the heavens will rejoice (simcha) because there is always something new in the heavens.—Gaon of Vilna

**Koren/Steinsaltz:**
When Adonoy is [universally accepted as] King¹² the earth will exult; the multitudes of islands¹³ will rejoice. Clouds and dense darkness surround Him;¹⁴ righteousness and justice are the foundations of His throne. Fire will go before Him to surround¹⁵ and burn His antagonists. His lightning illuminates the inhabited world, the earth sees and trembles.¹⁶ The mountains¹⁷ 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.¹⁸ Lovers of Adonoy, hate evil! He preserves the souls of His pious ones; from the hand of the wicked, He saves them. Light is sown¹⁹ for the righteous, and for the upright in heart—joy. Rejoice, righteous ones,²⁰ in Adonoy, and give thanks to His holy Name.²¹

footnotes:
¹² Our Sages say that this will occur after the annihilation of Amalek. At that time God’s Name and His throne will be complete. See Exodus 10.
¹³ Those who live on these islands will rejoice.—Etz Yosef
¹⁴ These clouds and darkness will envelop and destroy the wicked, after which God’s justice and righteousness will be apparent. Others say that this is an allusion to the mystery of God’s ways, but that His kingdom is founded on righteousness.—Radak
¹⁵ God will surround them with fire so there will be no escape for them.—Radak
¹⁶ The future revelation of God’s kingdom is described in terms similar to those of the revelation at Mount Sinai.
¹⁷ ‘Mountains’ refers to the kings of the world—Etz Yosef
¹⁸ Etz Yosef understands ‘gods’ to refer to the sun, moon, stars, etc.
¹⁹ Light is sown for the righteous in this world but the harvest of that light awaits the future world.—Radak Others say that the light may be hidden like the seed in the earth, but it is sure to spring forth.
²⁰ Shevet Musar says that the righteous ones will not merely rejoice in their personal salvation and deliverance but they will actually rejoice in God, Whose kingdom will be revealed and complete.
²¹ Lit: His holy mention.

**Koren/Steinsaltz:**
A Psalm. Sing to Adonoy, a new song²² for He has performed wonders; His right hand effected deliverance for Him [as did] His holy arm. Adonoy has made known²³ His deliverance, before the eyes of the nations He has revealed His justice. He remembered His kindliness and faithfulness²⁴ 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.

footnotes:
²² This Psalm, like the previous ones, refers to the future when God will render final judgment on the world and its inhabitants.
²³ This will be made known through His prophets.—Etz Yosef
²⁴ God will remember the kindness He promised to Israel, because of His faithfulness. —Etz Yosef

**Koren/Steinsaltz:**
When Adonoy is [universally accepted as] King, peoples will tremble;²⁵ [Before Him Who is] enthroned on Cherubim,²⁶ the earth will quake. Adonoy, is great in Zion,²⁷ 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,²⁸ You have established uprightness, justice and charity amid Jacob You have instituted. Exalt Adonoy, our God, and prostrate yourselves at His footstool,²⁹ holy is He.³⁰ 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 them³¹ ; 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.³² Exalt Adonoy, our God, and prostrate yourselves at His holy mountain; for Adonoy, our God, is holy.

footnotes:
²⁵ Radak notes that Psalm 97 states that, ‘When Adonoy is (universally accepted as) King, the earth will exult.’ He explains that the people will tremble during the destruction of Gog of Magog, and only after his downfall will the earth rejoice.
²⁶ This is a reference to the golden Cherubim atop the Ark in which Moses placed the two tablets of the Law. See Exodus 25:18-22
²⁷ God’s greatness will be revealed in Zion, for there He will bring all the nations to judgement.—Radak Others quote Rabbi Chanina who says that only when God returns His Schechina (Holy Presence) to Zion will His greatness be recognized. Etz Yosef understands the verse as follows: ‘God, Whose dwelling is in Zion, is great and exalted above all peoples.’
²⁸ The translation of this verse follows Ibn Ezra.
²⁹ ‘Footstool’ is an allusion to the Holy Temple.
³⁰ Others translate, ‘Holy is it,’ referring to the Holy Temple.
³¹ Ibn Ezra understands this as a reference to Moses and Aaron alone, because God did not speak to Samuel from a pillar of cloud.
³² Moses and Aaron were punished for their role in the incident of the waters of Merivah and were not permitted to enter the Holy Land. Samuel who declared, ‘I am the Seer,’ was punished when he mistakenly thought to anoint David’s brother Eliav as king. (1 Samuel 9).

**Koren/Steinsaltz:**
A Psalm of David. Ascribe to Adonoy— you sons of the mighty³³ — ascribe to Adonoy glory and might. Ascribe to Adonoy the glory due His Name, prostrate yourselves before Adonoy in the splendor of holiness.³⁴ Adonoy's voice is upon the waters.³⁵ Almighty of glory thunders, Adonoy is upon [the] many waters. The voice of Adonoy is in power, the voice of Adonoy is in beauty.³⁶ The voice of Adonoy breaks cedars, Adonoy shatters the cedars of Lebanon.³⁷ He makes them leap like a calf, Lebanon and Sirion like unicorns. The voice of Adonoy hews out flames of fire.³⁸ The voice of Adonoy makes the desert tremble, Adonoy makes tremble the desert of Kadesh. The voice of Adonoy causes hinds to calve,³⁹ and strips the forests bare; and in His Sanctuary all proclaim [His] glory. Adonoy sat enthroned (even) at the flood⁴⁰ Adonoy is enthroned as King forever. Adonoy will give strength to His people; Adonoy will bless His people with peace.⁴¹

footnotes:
³³ According to Targum, ‘sons of the mighty’ refers to the angels who are called upon to give praise to God. The Sages say that ‘the mighty’ refers to the Patriarchs who were mighty in their faith of God and steadfast in carrying out His will. Thus ‘sons of the mighty’ refers to all Jewry.
³⁴ Etz Yosef says that this refers to the Bais haMikdash.
³⁵ God’s voice was heard when He split the Sea of Reeds after the exodus from Egypt.—Etz Yosef
³⁶ This translation follows S.R. Hirsch. Others translate ‘Adonoy’s voice is with power, Adonoy’s voice is with beauty.’
³⁷ The Psalmist refers to a forest in the Holy Land where there is an abundance of tall cedar trees.—Radak
³⁸ When God spoke at Sinai, His commandments came forth like a flame in the form of visible letters and words. These letters penetrated the tablets of stone and engraved themselves on them.—Rashi According to Radak the verse describes how God’s wrath will pour down upon His enemies like a bolt of fiery lightning.
³⁹ The birth canal of the hind is very narrow and it is often impossible for the offspring to pass through. God’s voice in the thunder frightens the hind and causes it to have such strong contractions that the canal expands and the offspring is born.—Rashi
⁴⁰ Even in the face of the total corruption of mankind at the time of the flood, God sat unchanged and unshaken upon the throne of His Sovereignty.—S.R. Hirsch
⁴¹ After the coming of the Messiah there will be an end to all wars and conflicts.—Radak

This poem was written by Rabbi Solomon Halevy Alkabetz, whose name שְׁלֹמֹה הַלֵוִי is spelled out by the first letter of each stanza. In this poem, the bridegroom (Israel) calls to his Beloved Friend (God) asking that He join him in welcoming his bride (the Sabbath). The concept of welcoming the Sabbath goes back to Talmudic times. Rabbi Chanina robed himself and stood at sunset on the eve of the Sabbath and exclaimed, “Come! Let us go forth to welcome the Sabbath Queen.” Rabbi Yanai garbed himself in festive attire on Sabbath eve and exclaimed; “Come bride, Come bride” (*Shabbos* 119a).

**שָׁמוֹר** וְזָכוֹר בְּדִבּוּר אֶחָד, הִשְׁמִיעָנוּ אֵל הַמְּיֻחָד, יְהֹוָה אֶחָד וּשְׁמוֹ אֶחָד, לְשֵׁם וּלְתִפְאֶרֶת ולִתְהִלָּה:

**Koren/Steinsaltz:**
“Preserve” and “Remember”⁴⁴ in a single utterance the One Almighty caused us to hear; Adonoy is One, and His Name is One; for fame, for glory, and for praise.⁴⁵

footnotes:
⁴⁴ “Preserve” and “Remember” refers to the discrepancy between the two texts of the fourth commandment. Exodus (20:8) reads, “Remember the Sabbath day,” while Deuteronomy (5:12) reads, “Preserve the Sabbath day.” The Talmud (Shavuos 20b) explains that both words, שָׁמוֹר and זָכוֹר were miraculously pronounced by God simultaneously.
⁴⁵ These words revert back to the first lines of this stanza: “The One Almighty God caused us to hear for our fame, for our glory, and for our praise.” This thought is based on the verse in Deuteronomy 28:18,19, “Keep the commandments, and He will make you high above all nations—in praise, in name, and in glory.”—Iyun Tefilah

**Koren/Steinsaltz:**
A Psalm, a song for the Shabbos day. It is good to thank⁵² Adonoy, and sing praise to Your Name, Most High. To relate Your kindliness in the morning, and Your faithfulness in the nights.⁵³ 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 hands⁵⁴ I sing joyously. How great are Your works, Adonoy; how infinitely profound are Your thoughts.⁵⁵ 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 horn⁵⁶ 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 cedar⁵⁷ 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.

footnotes:
⁵² The Sabbath, more than other days, lends itself to offering praise and thanksgiving to God. When man rests from his physical labor and is relieved of material concerns, his soul is free to pursue the intellectual and spiritual aspects of life. These pursuits lead him to serve God and to praise Him.—Radak
⁵³ We will proclaim His kindliness in the morning of redemption. And while yet in the darkness of exile we proclaim our belief in His faithfulness.—Rashi
⁵⁴ The Sabbath day of rest affords me the opportunity to observe and appreciate the greatness of Your work.—Radak
⁵⁵ God’s ‘works’ are the visible creation, while His ‘thoughts’ are the Divine purpose behind each created thing.—Seporno
⁵⁶ Others translate, ‘You have increased my might like that of the wild ram.’
⁵⁷ The palm and the cedar both enjoy a long life span and flourish during all seasons. Thus they symbolize the lasting happiness of the righteous in contrast to the short prosperity of the wicked.
