## Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 1 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 1](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/1) מתפללים כמו שחרית של חול עד הודו וממשיכים מכאן **Koren/Steinsaltz:** The following sequence of prayers until Yishtabach (p. 94) is called *Pesukei Dezimrah* (verses of praise). These selected Scriptural passages were arranged by the Gaonim of the ninth century, in fulfillment of the Talmudic statement (*MasechesBerachos* 32a), “A person should always praise God first and make his requests [offer his prayers] afterwards.” Beginning with *Baruch She'amar* (p. 80), it is forbidden to interrupt your prayer with conversation until after the *Shemoneh Esrei* (p. 132). You are permitted to answer *Amein,* respond to *Barechu, Kaddish* and to say *Kedushah* even though you have passed *Baruch She'amar.* You are also permitted to say *Modim d'Rabbonon* and the first verse of the *Shema* together with the congregation. If you are concerned that the saying of *Kerias Shema* will not be within the proper time should you follow the regular order of prayers, you are permitted to recite the entire *Kerias Shema* during the *Pesukei Dezimrah*. The first 28 verses of this section are taken from *1 Chronicles* 16:8-36, and the first 15 are almost identical with the first fifteen verses of Psalms 105. These prayers are mentioned in *Maseches Soferim.* ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 2 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 2](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/2) **הוֹדוּ** לַיהֹוָה קִרְאוֹ בִּשְׁמוֹ הוֹדִיעוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִילוֹתָיו: שִׁירוּ לוֹ זַמְּרוּ לוֹ שִׂיחוּ בְּכָל נִפְלְאוֹתָיו: הִתְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ יִשְׂמַח לֵב מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהֹוָה: דִּרְשׁוּ יְהֹוָה וְעֻזּוֹ בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנָיו תָּמִיד: זִכְרוּ נִפְלְאוֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מֹפְתָיו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי פִיהוּ: זֶרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדּוֹ בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב בְּחִירָיו: הוּא יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ בְּכָל הָאָרֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָיו: זִכְרוּ לְעוֹלָם בְּרִיתוֹ דָּבָר צִוָּה לְאֶלֶף דּוֹר: אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת אֶת אַבְרָהָם וּשְׁבוּעָתוֹ לְיִצְחָק: וַיַּעֲמִידֶהָ לְיַעֲקֹב לְחֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרִית עוֹלָם: לֵּאמֹר לְךָ אֶתֵּן אֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן חֶבֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶם: בִּהְיוֹתְכֶם מְתֵי מִסְפָּר כִּמְעַט וְגָרִים בָּהּ: וַיִּתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּוֹי אֶל גּוֹי וּמִמַּמְלָכָה אֶל עַם אַחֵר: לֹא הִנִּיחַ לְאִישׁ לְעָשְׁקָם וַיּוֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶם מְלָכִים: אַל תִּגְּעוּ בִמְשִׁיחָי וּבִנְבִיאַי אַל תָּרֵעוּ: שִׁירוּ לַיהֹוָה כָּל הָאָרֶץ בַּשְּׂרוּ מִיּוֹם אֶל יוֹם יְשׁוּעָתוֹ: סַפְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם אֶת כְּבוֹדוֹ בְּכָל הָעַמִּים נִפְלְאֹתָיו: כִּי גָדוֹל יְהֹוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד וְנוֹרָא הוּא עַל כָּל אֱלֹהִים: כִּי כָּל אֱלֹהֵי הָעַמִּים אֱלִילִים כאן צריך להפסיק מעט וַיְהֹוָה שָׁמַיִם עָשָׂה: הוֹד וְהָדָר לְפָנָיו עֹז וְחֶדְוָה בִּמְקֹמוֹ: הָבוּ לַיהֹוָה מִשְׁפְּחוֹת עַמִּים הָבוּ לַיהֹוָה כָּבוֹד וָעֹז: הָבוּ לַיהֹוָה כְּבוֹד שְׁמוֹ שְׂאוּ מִנְחָה וּבֹאוּ לְפָנָיו הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַיהֹוָה בְּהַדְרַת קֹדֶשׁ: חִילוּ מִלְּפָנָיו כָּל הָאָרֶץ אַף תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל תִּמּוֹט: יִשְׂמְחוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְתָגֵל הָאָרֶץ וְיֹאמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ: יִרְעַם הַיָּם וּמְלוֹאוֹ יַעֲלֹץ הַשָּׂדֶה וְכָל אֲשֶׁר בּוֹ: אָז יְרַנְּנוּ עֲצֵי הַיָּעַר מִלִּפְנֵי יְהֹוָה כִּי בָא לִשְׁפּוֹט אֶת הָאָרֶץ: הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה כִּי טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ: וְאִמְרוּ הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵנוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ וְהַצִּילֵנוּ מִן הַגּוֹיִם לְהֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם קָדְשֶׁךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּחַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶךָ: בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן הָעוֹלָם וְעַד הָעֹלָם וַיֹּאמְרוּ כָל הָעָם אָמֵן וְהַלֵּל לַיהֹוָה: רוֹמְמוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָיו קָדוֹשׁ הוּא: רוֹמְמוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְהַר קָדְשׁוֹ כִּי קָדוֹשׁ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ: **Koren/Steinsaltz:** Give thanks to Adonoy, proclaim His Name; make His deeds¹ known among the nations. Sing to Him, compose songs to Him, speak of all His wonders. Take pride² in [uttering] His holy Name, let the heart rejoice of those who seek³ Adonoy. Search for Adonoy and His might, seek His presence continually. Remember the wonders He has performed, His miracles,⁴ and the laws from His mouth. [You,] the seed of Israel⁵ His servant, children of Jacob, His chosen ones. He is Adonoy our God; the entire earth is governed by His laws. Remember His covenant forever— the word He commanded to a thousand generations— which He made as a treaty with Abraham, and [which was] His oath to Isaac. He established it for Jacob as a statute, for Israel as an everlasting covenant.⁶ Saying, “To you I will give the Land of Canaan, the portion of your inheritance.” When you were only few in number— very few, and strangers in it. They wandered from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people. He permitted no one to oppress them, and admonished kings⁷ for their sakes. “Do not touch My anointed ones,⁸ and do not harm My prophets.” Sing to Adonoy all the earth,⁹ proclaim His deliverance from day to day.¹⁰ Recount His glory among the nations, His wonders among all the peoples. For Adonoy is great and most extolled; Awesome is He above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, whereas Adonoy made the heavens. Beauty and splendor are before Him,¹¹ strength and joy are in His presence. Give to Adonoy families of peoples— give to Adonoy glory and might. Give to Adonoy the glory due His Name, bring an offering and come before Him, prostrate yourselves before Adonoy in the splendor of holiness.¹² Tremble before Him all [peoples of] the earth, for He established the inhabited world so that it cannot be moved. The heavens will rejoice, the earth will exult,¹³ and they will proclaim among the nations: “Adonoy has begun His reign.” The sea and its fullness will roar; the field and all that is in it will jubilate. Then the trees of the forest will sing with joy, [receding] before Adonoy when He comes to judge the earth. Give thanks to Adonoy, for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting. And say, “Deliver us, God of our deliverance; gather us and save us from the nations, to give thanks to Your holy Name, to be extolled in Your praise.”¹⁴ Blessed is Adonoy, the God of Israel for all eternity, and all the people said: “Amein” and [they] praised Adonoy.” Exalt Adonoy, our God, and prostrate yourselves at His footstool.¹⁵ Holy is He!¹⁶ Exalt Adonoy, our God, and prostrate yourselves at His holy mountain,¹⁷ for Adonoy our God is holy. footnotes: ¹ Make His Divine attributes (mercy, kindness, etc.) known to the world.—Siach Yitzchok ² The Jew should be proud at being found worthy to utter God’s Name.—Siddur HaGra ³ Seeking God is an end in itself and provides joy to those who earnestly seek Him.—Siach Yitzchok ⁴ His “miracles” were witnessed by Jew and Egyptian alike in Egypt. His “laws” are the Torah He gave us at Mt. Sinai.—Iyun Tefillah ⁵ The entire section—the previous verses as well as the following verses—are addressed to the Jewish People, who are the seed of Israel, the chosen of God, who are asked to remember His wonders, miracles and laws.—Tzelosa d’Avrohom ⁶ This verse in following the preceding verse indicates that the original covenant which God made with Abraham was later confirmed to Isaac in an oath and then established for Jacob as a statute. After Jacob was given the name Israel, it became an everlasting covenant.—Tzelosa d’Avrohom ⁷ Both Pharaoh and Avimelech were admonished for Abraham’s sake (Genesis 13:17; 20:3,7). ⁸ The Hebrew word מְשִׁיחָי can also be translated as “My great ones” and as such refers to the Patriarchs. “My prophets” refers to the Matriarchs, who were known to be prophets. Both were afforded extraordinary Divine protection.— Etz Yosef ⁹ Siach Yitzchok maintains that this verse directs Jewry to sing to God in all the lands in which they are dispersed during their exile. Tzelosa d’Avrohom understands the verse to direct all the nations of the earth to sing to God. ¹⁰ a) We are to proclaim our deliverance by God every day; b) We are to proclaim that our deliverance by God is a daily experience.—Tzelosa d’Avrohom ¹¹ The word הוד (beauty) indicates that which is itself beautiful, while הָדָר (splendor) is the reflection of beauty. For example: the sun’s light is “beauty” itself while the moon’s light is splendor—a reflection of the sun. (This definition applies only to the Hebrew terms.)— Siddur HaGra ¹² Etz Yosef understands this as the “holy splendor” of God’s Sanctuary. Tzelosa d’Avrohom sees it as the splendor and joy of worship before God, as contrasted with secular, frivolous manifestations of beauty and splendor. ¹³ Simcha (rejoicing) describes one’s feelings 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 וְאֵין כָּל־חָדָשׁ תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ (Koheles 1:9), it is said the earth will exult (gila); but the heavens will rejoice (simcha) because there is חִידוּשׁ in the heavens.— Gaon of Vilna ¹⁴ The fact that we are privileged to sing Your praises and cling to You will make us praiseworthy.—Etz Yosef ¹⁵ The Holy Temple. ¹⁶ Or Holy is it—i.e., the Temple. ¹⁷ Mount Moriah upon which the Holy Temple was built is holy itself even when the Temple is destroyed. The previous verse refers to the time of the Temple, the second verse refers to the period of its destruction.—Etz Yosef ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 3 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/3) **וְהוּא רַחוּם** יְכַפֵּר עָוֹן וְלֹא יַשְׁחִית וְהִרְבָּה לְהָשִׁיב אַפּוֹ וְלֹא יָעִיר כָּל חֲמָתוֹ: אַתָּה יְהֹוָה לֹא תִכְלָא רַחֲמֶיךָ מִמֶּנִּי חַסְדְּךָ וַאֲמִתְּךָ תָּמִיד יִצְּרוּנִי: זְכֹר רַחֲמֶיךָ יְהֹוָה וַחֲסָדֶיךָ כִּי מֵעוֹלָם הֵמָּה: תְּנוּ עֹז לֵאֱלֹהִים עַל יִשְׂרָאֵל גַּאֲוָתוֹ וְעֻזּוֹ בַּשְּׁחָקִים: נוֹרָא אֱלֹהִים מִמִּקְדָּשֶׁיךָ אֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא נֹתֵן עֹז וְתַעֲצֻמוֹת לָעָם בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִים: אֵל נְקָמוֹת יְהֹוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִיעַ: הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָרֶץ הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל גֵּאִים: לַיהֹוָה הַיְשׁוּעָה עַל עַמְּךָ בִרְכָתֶךָ סֶּלָה: יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ מִשְׂגָּב לָנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה: יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם בֹּטֵחַ בָּךְ: יְהֹוָה הוֹשִׁיעָה הַמֶּלֶךְ יַעֲנֵנוּ בְיוֹם קָרְאֵנוּ: **Koren/Steinsaltz:** And He, the Merciful One, atones iniquity and does not destroy; He frequently withdraws His anger and does not arouse all His rage. You, Adonoy, withhold not Your mercy from me; may Your kindness and Your truth¹⁸ always protect me. Remember Your mercies Adonoy and kindnesses, for they are from the beginning of the world.¹⁹ Give might to God,²⁰ His pride (majesty) hovers over Israel, and His might is in the clouds. You are awesome, God, from Your Sanctuaries,²¹ Almighty of Israel— He grants might and power to the people; blessed is God. Almighty of vengeance, Adonoy, Almighty of vengeance, reveal Yourself.²² Arise, Judge of the earth! Repay the arrogant their just reward. Deliverance is Adonoy's.²³ Upon Your people is Your blessing. Selah. Adonoy of Hosts is with us, a stronghold for us is the God of Jacob. Selah. Adonoy of Hosts! Fortunate is the man who trusts in You. Adonoy, deliver [us]. The King will answer us on the day we call. footnotes: ¹⁸ חֶסֶד (kindness) is the good God bestows without a promise, whereas אֱמֶת (truth) is the fulfillment of His promise.— Siach Yitzchok ¹⁹ God’s mercies to mankind started from the very day that Adam was created. God created the world in order to fill it with kindness as it is said: “A world of kindness was built” (Psalms 89:3).—Rashi ²⁰ Attribute your victories to God’s might rather than to your own.—Siach Yitzchok. Rashbam and others hold that since God’s actions are a reflection of Israel’s deeds, the latter are, in a sense, the source of His might. Thus when Israel follows the wishes of God, they give might to Him. ²¹ There is a spiritual Temple in the heavens which corresponds to the Temple on earth.— Radak. The Talmud (Maseches Zevachim 115b) notes that the word מִמִּקְדָּשֶׁיךָ may also be read מִמְקוּדָשֶׁיךָ , from Your holy people, indicating that God is especially demanding of the most adherent to the Torah. When this occurs, the world is filled with awe and fear of God. ²² These two verses (94:1-2) are an appeal to God during a time fraught with the sufferings of exile, when it seems as if God has forsaken His people. He is urged to reveal Himself as the Mighty champion of justice—S.R. Hirsch ²³ Only God knows what is true deliverance for a person. Prayer is not always answered, because God in His infinite wisdom knows that granting the request is not always for our benefit. We must therefore bless and offer thanks to God regardless of whether our petition has been granted.—Siach Yitzchok ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 4 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 4](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/4) **הוֹשִׁיעָה** אֶת עַמֶּךָ וּבָרֵךְ אֶת נַחֲלָתֶךָ וּרְעֵם וְנַשְּׂאֵם עַד הָעוֹלָם: נַפְשֵׁנוּ חִכְּתָה לַיהֹוָה עֶזְרֵנוּ וּמָגִנֵּנוּ הוּא: כִּי בוֹ יִשְׂמַח לִבֵּנוּ כִּי בְשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ בָטָחְנוּ: **Koren/Steinsaltz:** Deliver Your people and bless Your inheritance, tend them and uplift them forever.²⁴ Our soul yearned for Adonoy, our help and our shield is He.

Show us Your kindness, Adonoy, and grant²⁵ us Your deliverance. Arise—come to our aid, and redeem us for the sake of Your kindness. I am Adonoy, Your God, Who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.²⁶ Fortunate is the people whose lot is thus, fortunate is the people for whom Adonoy is their God. In Your loving kindness I trust, My heart will exult in Your deliverance; I will sing to Adonoy, for He dealt kindly with me.²⁷ footnotes: ²⁵ We hope to earn redemption through our deeds, but if we are found wanting, then “show us Your kindness”—overlook our deficiencies and “grant” us salvation.— Radak ²⁶ Request all that you desire and I will fulfill every request.—Ibn Ezra. The Jerusalem Talmud (Maseches Taanis 3:6) indicates that the more one requests God’s providence—the “wider he opens his mouth”—the more he shows his belief in God’s ability to provide all of man’s needs. ²⁷ The foremost level of man’s trust in God is manifested in three situations: a) when he is confronted with trouble, b) when he seeks help, and c) after he has been helped. The Psalmist says: In my time of trouble, I trust in Your kindliness; I seek only Your help, for my heart exults in Your salvation; and I will sing to You afterwards for You have dealt kindly with me.—Siddur HaGra ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 6 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 6](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/6) **מִזְמוֹר** שִׁיר חֲנֻכַּת הַבַּיִת לְדָוִד: אֲרוֹמִמְךָ יְהֹוָה כִּי דִלִּיתָנִי וְלֹא שִׂמַּחְתָּ אֹיְבַי לִי: יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָי שִׁוַּעְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵנִי: יְהֹוָה הֶעֱלִיתָ מִן שְׁאוֹל נַפְשִׁי חִיִּיתַנִי מִיָּרְדִי בוֹר: זַמְּרוּ לַיהֹוָה חֲסִידָיו וְהוֹדוּ לְזֵכֶר קָדְשׁוֹ: כִּי רֶגַע בְּאַפּוֹ חַיִּים בִּרְצוֹנוֹ בָּעֶרֶב יָלִין בֶּכִי וְלַבֹּקֶר רִנָּה: וַאֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְשַׁלְוִי בַּל אֶמּוֹט לְעוֹלָם: יְהֹוָה בִּרְצוֹנְךָ הֶעֱמַדְתָּה לְהַרְרִי עֹז הִסְתַּרְתָּ פָנֶיךָ הָיִיתִי נִבְהָל: אֵלֶיךָ יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָא וְאֶל אֲדֹנָי אֶתְחַנָּן: מַה בֶּצַע בְּדָמִי בְּרִדְתִּי אֶל שָׁחַת הֲיוֹדְךָ עָפָר הֲיַגִּיד אֲמִתֶּךָ: שְׁמַע יְהֹוָה וְחָנֵּנִי יְהֹוָה הֱיֵה עֹזֵר לִי: הָפַכְתָּ מִסְפְּדִי לְמָחוֹל לִי פִּתַּחְתָּ שַׂקִּי וַתְּאַזְּרֵנִי שִׂמְחָה: לְמַעַן יְזַמֶּרְךָ כָבוֹד וְלֹא יִדֹּם יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי לְעוֹלָם אוֹדֶךָּ: **Koren/Steinsaltz:** A Psalm, a song for the inauguration of the Temple, by David.²⁸ I will exalt You, Adonoy, for You have upheld me,²⁹ and not let my foes rejoice over me. Adonoy, my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me. Adonoy, You have raised my soul from the lower world. You have kept me alive, lest I descend to the Pit. Sing to Adonoy, [you,] His pious ones, and give thanks to His holy Name.³⁰ For His anger lasts only a moment,³¹ but there is [long] life, in His conciliation. In the evening, one retires weeping, but in the morning there is [a cry of] joy! I said, in my serenity, I would never be moved. [But,] Adonoy, it was Your will [alone] that established my mountain as a stronghold. When You concealed Your Presence, I was terrified. To You, Adonoy, I called, and my Master I beseeched. What gain is there in [the shedding of] my blood? In my going down to destruction? Will the dust acknowledge You? Will it proclaim Your truth? Hear [me] Adonoy, and be gracious to me, Adonoy, be a help to me. You have turned my mourning into dancing, You have loosened my sackcloth and supported me with joy. In order that my soul³² might sing to You and not be stilled, Adonoy, my God, forever will I thank You. footnotes: ²⁸ Since it was Solomon who built the Temple, why is its inauguration attributed to David? Rashi explains: David composed the song which would be sung at the inauguration later, in Solomon’s days. ²⁹ Radak writes that the Hebrew word דִלִיתָנִי is an expression used to describe either a downtrodden or an uplifted state. The downtrodden state of the Jewish people is actually part of their uplifting says the Sfas Emes, as it is said, “when I was brought low, He delivered me” (Psalms 116:6). “My downtrodden state was the cause of my salvation,” proclaims David, just as when one lowers a bucket (דְלִי) into a well in order to bring up the water. ³⁰ The literal translation of זֵכֶר קָדְשׁו is His ‘holy remembrance,’ but it refers to His Name; for the titles we bestow upon Him are our means of remembering Him.— Radak ³¹ A moment is a measure of time. God’s anger is limited to time (be it long or short) but God’s favor is unlimited.—Sfas Emes ³² The literal translation of כָבוד is glory.

The Kuzari notes that even though the skies “proclaim God's glory” and the Psalmist describes the sun so glowingly, David nevertheless concludes that in comparison to the Torah they are insignificant. To the Chief Musician, a Psalm of David. The skies recount the glory of the Almighty, and His handiwork is related by the firmament.³³ Day to day makes speech flow,³⁴ and night to night expresses wisdom.³⁵ There is no speech, and there are no words; their voice is never heard.³⁶ Throughout the earth, their line extends, and to the edge of the inhabited world their words, for the sun He has set a tent in their midst.³⁷ And it [the sun] is like a groom departing his bridal chamber,³⁸ happy as a warrior to run on course.³⁹ From one end of the skies is its rising and its circuit is to their [other] end; there is no escaping its heat. The Torah of Adonoy, is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of Adonoy, is trustworthy, making wise the simple [man]. The precepts of Adonoy, are upright, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of Adonoy, is lucid, enlightening the eyes.⁴⁰ The fear of Adonoy, is pure, it endures forever; the judgments of Adonoy, are true, they are righteous in unison.⁴¹ More desirable than gold, even more than quantities of fine gold;⁴² and sweeter than honey, or the drippings of honeycombs. Even Your servant is careful of them, since they guard⁴³ great reward. Errors—who can comprehend? From hidden [faults], cleanse me. Also from willful [sins] spare Your servant, let them not rule me,⁴⁴ then I will be strong and will be cleansed of gross transgression. May they be acceptable— the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart before You, Adonoy, my Rock and my Redeemer. footnotes: ³³ שָׁמַיִם , skies, refers to the heavenly regions beyond earth’s atmosphere, where the stars and planets orbit. רָקִיעַ , firmament, refers to the earth’s atmosphere where clouds form, and precipitation takes place. The verb לְסַפֵּר means to recount something which occurred in the past. Thus the stars and planets in the שָׁמַיִם recount the fact that long ago God created a glorious universe. The רָקִיעַ , on the other hand, relates that God’s handiwork is evidenced in the constant formation of clouds and in the precipitation of rain. The firmament enables man to recognize the constant renewal of God’s providence.— Malbim ³⁴ Daily renewal of the activities of creation, beginning with sunrise, stir mankind to proclaim God’s praises.—Rashi ³⁵ Night after night the sun sets beneath the horizon only to rise and set again the following day. This unchanging pattern is evidence of the Divine wisdom implanted in God’s creation.—Rashi ³⁶ Though the heavens have no means of verbal communication, the soul of man, with its sensitivity and perception, can understand their message clearly.—Ibn Ezra ³⁷ God provided the sun a permanent residence in the heavens. David describes this point to which the sun returns daily as its ‘tent’—its residence in the sky.—Metsudas Yehoshua ³⁸ When the groom steps out of the bridal chamber, everyone rushes to greet him with great joy. Analogously, when the sun rises each day, all of creation rejoices.—Radak ³⁹ A warrior is happy for the opportunity to go into battle because he has confidence in his skill and strength. Similarly, the sun rejoices knowing it will serve its Creator’s goals by running its course.—Metsudas Dovid. ⁴⁰ Every command of God is flawless, lighting the way for those who walk in His way. Those who ignore His commands stumble in darkness.— Radak ⁴¹ They are all in total harmony. There is no contradiction between them.—Ibn Ezra ⁴² פָּז is the purest form of refined gold. ⁴³ Because the Divine reward is contingent on fulfilling God’s commands, they are ‘guardians’ of that reward.—Metsudas Yehoshua ⁴⁴ David’s request is paraphrased in the concluding blessing of the בִּרְכוֹת הַשַּׁחַר , וְאַל יִשְׁלֹט בָּנוּ יֵצֶר הָרַע , “Let us not be ruled by the Evil Inclinaation,” David knows full well that God does not interffere with man’s free choise; he only asks for DDivine help to keep him from becoming a prisoneerr evil.—Gaon of Vilna ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 13 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 13](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/13) **רַנְּנוּ צַדִּיקִים** בַּיְהֹוָה לַיְשָׁרִים נָאוֹה תְהִלָּה: הוֹדוּ לַיהֹוָה בְּכִנּוֹר בְּנֵבֶל עָשׂוֹר זַמְּרוּ לוֹ: שִׁירוּ לוֹ שִׁיר חָדָשׁ הֵיטִיבוּ נַגֵּן בִּתְרוּעָה: כִּי יָשָׁר דְּבַר יְהֹוָה וְכָל מַעֲשֵׂהוּ בֶּאֱמוּנָה: אֹהֵב צְדָקָה וּמִשְׁפָּט חֶסֶד יְהֹוָה מָלְאָה הָאָרֶץ: בִּדְבַר יְהֹוָה שָׁמַיִם נַעֲשׂוּ וּבְרוּחַ פִּיו כָּל צְבָאָם: כֹּנֵס כַּנֵּד מֵי הַיָּם נֹתֵן בְּאֹצָרוֹת תְּהוֹמוֹת: יִירְאוֹ מֵיְהֹוָה כָּל הָאָרֶץ מִמֶּנּוּ יָגוּרוּ כָּל יֹשְׁבֵי תֵבֵל: כִּי הוּא אָמַר וַיֶּהִי הוּא צִוָּה וַיַּעֲמֹד: יְהֹוָה הֵפִיר עֲצַת גּוֹיִם הֵנִיא מַחְשְׁבוֹת עַמִּים: עֲצַת יְהֹוָה לְעוֹלָם תַּעֲמֹד מַחְשְׁבוֹת לִבּוֹ לְדֹר וָדֹר: אַשְׁרֵי הַגּוֹי אֲשֶׁר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָיו הָעָם בָּחַר לְנַחֲלָה לוֹ: מִשָּׁמַיִם הִבִּיט יְהֹוָה רָאָה אֶת כָּל בְּנֵי הָאָדָם: מִמְּכוֹן שִׁבְתּוֹ הִשְׁגִּיחַ אֶל כָּל יֹשְׁבֵי הָאָרֶץ: הַיֹּצֵר יַחַד לִבָּם הַמֵּבִין אֶל כָּל מַעֲשֵׂיהֶם: אֵין הַמֶּלֶךְ נוֹשָׁע בְּרָב חָיִל גִּבּוֹר לֹא יִנָּצֵל בְּרָב כֹּחַ: שֶׁקֶר הַסּוּס לִתְשׁוּעָה וּבְרֹב חֵילוֹ לֹא יְמַלֵּט: הִנֵּה עֵין יְהֹוָה אֶל יְרֵאָיו לַמְיַחֲלִים לְחַסְדּוֹ: לְהַצִּיל מִמָּוֶת נַפְשָׁם וּלְחַיּוֹתָם בָּרָעָב: נַפְשֵׁנוּ חִכְּתָה לַיהֹוָה עֶזְרֵנוּ וּמָגִנֵּנוּ הוּא: כִּי בוֹ יִשְׂמַח לִבֵּנוּ כִּי בְשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ בָטָחְנוּ: יְהִי חַסְדְּךָ יְהֹוָה עָלֵינוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר יִחַלְנוּ לָךְ: **Koren/Steinsaltz:** In this psalm, David expresses the joy of the righteous in the Divine Providence of God in every aspect of the world and in the affairs of man. For the righteous see the “laws of nature” only as an external cloak, concealing the true supervision of God. They see *through* the laws of nature and perceive the Divine order and providence of the Creator. Joyfully exult in Adonoy, [you] righteous ones, for the upright, praise is fitting. Thank Adonoy with the harp, with the ten-stringed lyre sing to Him. Sing Him a new song, play skillfully with jubilation. For upright is the word of Adonoy and all His deeds [are done] with faithfulness. He loves righteousness and justice the kindliness of Adonoy fills the earth. By the word of God, the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth, all their hosts. He gathers like a mound the waters of the sea, He places in vaults the deep waters. Fear Adonoy, all the earth, of Him, be in dread all dwellers of the inhabited world. For He spoke and it became; He commanded and it stood. Adonoy annuls the counsel of nations, He disrupts the intention of peoples. The counsel of Adonoy will stand forever, the thoughts of His heart throughout all generations. Fortunate is the nation for whom Adonoy is their God, the people He chose as His heritage. From the heavens, Adonoy looks [down], He sees all mankind. From His dwelling place, He watches intently all the inhabitants of the earth. He forms their hearts all together;⁴⁵ He perceives all their doings. A king is not saved by a great army; a mighty man is not rescued with [his] great strength. A horse is deceptive [assurance] for deliverance, and with its great strength it provides no escape. Behold, the eye of Adonoy is on those who fear Him, on those who wait for His kindliness. To rescue their soul from death, and to keep them alive during famine. Our soul yearned for Adonoy, our help and our shield is He. For in Him our heart will rejoice, for in His holy Name we trust, May Your kindliness, Adonoy, be upon us, as we have waited for You. footnotes: ⁴⁵ The Talmud (Sanhedrin 37a) states: When a man mints many coins from the same mold, they are all exactly alike, but God formed all of mankind from Adam and no two men look exactly alike. The Sages in Berachos 58a add: just as no two faces are alike, so are no two personalities alike. Thus even though God made them all together, each has his own unique personality. ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 14 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 14](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/14) **לְדָוִד** בְּשַׁנּוֹתוֹ אֶת טַעְמוֹ לִפְנֵי אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וַיְגָרֲשֵׁהוּ וַיֵּלַךְ: אֲבָרֲכָה אֶת יְהֹוָה בְּכָל עֵת תָּמִיד תְּהִלָּתוֹ בְּפִי: בַּיְהֹוָה תִּתְהַלֵּל נַפְשִׁי יִשְׁמְעוּ עֲנָוִים וְיִשְׂמָחוּ: גַּדְּלוּ לַיהֹוָה אִתִּי וּנְרוֹמְמָה שְׁמוֹ יַחְדָּו: דָּרַשְׁתִּי אֶת יְהֹוָה וְעָנָנִי וּמִכָּל מְגוּרוֹתַי הִצִּילָנִי: הִבִּיטוּ אֵלָיו וְנָהָרוּ וּפְנֵיהֶם אַל יֶחְפָּרוּ: זֶה עָנִי קָרָא וַיְהֹוָה שָׁמֵעַ וּמִכָּל צָרוֹתָיו הוֹשִׁיעוֹ: חֹנֶה מַלְאַךְ יְהֹוָה סָבִיב לִירֵאָיו וַיְחַלְּצֵם: טַעֲמוּ וּרְאוֹ כִּי טוֹב יְהֹוָה אַשְׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר יֶחֱסֶה בּוֹ: יְראוּ אֶת יְהֹוָה קְדֹשָׁיו כִּי אֵין מַחְסוֹר לִירֵאָיו: כְּפִירִים רָשׁוּ וְרָעֵבוּ וְדֹרְשֵׁי יְהֹוָה לֹא יַחְסְרוּ כָל טוֹב: לְכוּ בָנִים שִׁמְעוּ לִי יִרְאַת יְהֹוָה אֲלַמֶּדְכֶם: מִי הָאִישׁ הֶחָפֵץ חַיִּים אֹהֵב יָמִים לִרְאוֹת טוֹב: נְצֹר לְשׁוֹנְךָ מֵרָע וּשְׂפָתֶיךָ מִדַּבֵּר מִרְמָה: סוּר מֵרָע וַעֲשֵׂה טוֹב בַּקֵּשׁ שָׁלוֹם וְרָדְפֵהוּ: עֵינֵי יְהֹוָה אֶל צַדִּיקִים וְאָזְנָיו אֶל שַׁוְעָתָם: פְּנֵי יְהֹוָה בְּעֹשֵׂי רָע לְהַכְרִית מֵאֶרֶץ זִכְרָם: צָעֲקוּ וַיְהֹוָה שָׁמֵעַ וּמִכָּל צָרוֹתָם הִצִּילָם: קָרוֹב יְהֹוָה לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי לֵב וְאֶת דַּכְּאֵי רוּחַ יוֹשִׁיעַ: רַבּוֹת רָעוֹת צַדִּיק וּמִכֻּלָּם יַצִּילֶנּוּ יְהֹוָה: שֹׁמֵר כָּל עַצְמוֹתָיו אַחַת מֵהֵנָּה לֹא נִשְׁבָּרָה: תְּמוֹתֵת רָשָׁע רָעָה וְשֹׂנְאֵי צַדִּיק יֶאְשָׁמוּ: פּוֹדֶה יְהֹוָה נֶפֶשׁ עֲבָדָיו וְלֹא יֶאְשְׁמוּ כָּל הַחֹסִים בּוֹ: **Koren/Steinsaltz:** This psalm is based entirely on an event that took place in David's personal life as related in *1 Samuel* 21:11-16. Forced to flee from Saul, he took refuge among the Philistines, where he was recognized as the slayer of Goliath. In order to escape death at the hands of his foes, David pretended to be an imbecile, and was sent away unharmed by King Avimelech. Of David, When he acted insane in the presence of Avimelech and he [Avimelech] drove him away, and he [David] left. I will bless Adonoy at all times constantly is His praise in my mouth. In Adonoy does my soul take pride,⁴⁶ the humble will hear [this] and rejoice. Declare the greatness of Adonoy with me, and let us exalt His Name together. I sought Adonoy and He responded to me; and from all my fears He saved me. [Those who] look to Him are enlightened and their faces are never darkened [humiliated]. This poor man⁴⁷ called and Adonoy heard; and from all his troubles, He delivered him. The angel of Adonoy encamps around those who fear Him and sets them free. Taste and see that Adonoy is good;⁴⁸ fortunate is the man who takes refuge in Him. Fear Adonoy, [you] His holy ones, for there is no deprivation for those who fear Him. Young lions feel want and hunger, but those who seek Adonoy will not lack any good thing. Come children, listen to me, fear of Adonoy will I teach you. Who is the man who desires life,⁴⁹ and loves days that he may see good? Guard your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceitfully. Turn from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of Adonoy are toward the righteous, and His ears [are open] to their cry. The face⁵⁰ of Adonoy is set against evildoers to excise from earth, their memory. They⁵¹ cry out and Adonoy hears and from all their troubles, He saves them. Adonoy is close to the broken-hearted and those crushed in spirit, He delivers. Many evils befall a righteous man, and from all of them, Adonoy saves him. He preserves all his bones, not one of them is broken. The cause of death of the wicked is evil; and the haters of the righteous are doomed. Adonoy liberates the soul of His servants, and none are doomed who take refuge in Him. footnotes: ⁴⁶ David is proud that he is worthy of uttering God’s Name. ⁴⁷ David describes himself as a helpless indigent waiting for God’s compassion.—Radak ⁴⁸ Seporno says that taste refers to the senses whereas see refers to the intellect. ⁴⁹ David does not say הֶחָפֵץ בַּחַיִּים ‘he who takes pleasure in life’ but הֶחָפֵץ חַיִּים , ‘he who desires life,’ whose only goal is life; that is, he desires to attain such a level of existence as can truly be called life. — S.R. Hirsch ⁵⁰ The expression פְּנֵי ה' , Face of God, describes Divine anger.

A prayer of Moses, the man of God: My Master a dwelling[-place] have You been for us in every generation.

The stream of their life is [but] slumber, in the morning they are as grass, freshly grown. [If] in the morning it blossoms, and grows afresh by evening it is cut off and shriveled. So are we consumed by Your anger and by Your rage are we terrified. You have set our iniquities before You, the sins of our youth⁵⁵ before the light of Your countenance. For all our days vanish in Your wrath; we terminate our years like an unspoken word. The days of our years in them⁵⁶ [total] seventy years, and with strength, eighty years, and their pride is frustration and falsehood; for, cut off quickly, we fly away.⁵⁷ Who can [get to] know the force of Your anger?

For He will save you from the snare-trap, from destructive pestilence. With His wings He will cover you and beneath His wings, you will find refuge; His truth is a shield, a full shield. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day. The pestilence that prowls in darkness, nor the deadly plague that ravages at noon. A thousand will fall at your [left] side, and ten thousand at your [right] side but it⁶⁴ shall not come near you. Only⁶⁵ with your eyes will you behold and see the punishment of the wicked. For you [have proclaimed]: “Adonoy is my refuge,” the Supreme One you have made your dwelling. No evil shall befall you, and no plague shall come near your tent. For His angels He will command on your behalf— to guard you in all your ways. They will carry you upon their hands, lest you hurt your foot on a rock. You will tread upon lion and snake, you will trample young lion and serpent. Because he clings to Me with desire, I will save him; I will strengthen him, for he knows My Name.

For God chose Jacob to be His, Israel for His treasure. For I know that Adonoy is great, our Master [is greater] than all gods. All that was desired by Adonoy, He has done in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all the depths. He causes clouds to rise from the ends of the earth; lightning for the rain He makes; He brings forth winds from His vaults. He struck down the firstborn of Egypt both man and beast. He sent signs and wonders into the midst of Egypt, upon Pharaoh and upon all his servants. For He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings: Sichon, King of the Amorites, and Og, King of the Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan. And He gave their lands as an inheritance, an inheritance to Israel, His people. Adonoy is Your Name forever, Adonoy is Your mention for generations. For Adonoy judges His people,⁶⁹ and upon His servants will He relent. The idols⁷⁰ of the nations, are of silver and gold, products of human hands: They have a mouth but do not speak; they have eyes but do not see. They have ears but do not listen; nor is there any breath in their mouth. Like them let their makers be— all who trust in them. House of Israel, bless Adonoy!⁷¹ House of Aaron, bless Adonoy!

The twenty-fifth verse, נוֹתֵן לֶחֶם לְכָל בָּשָׂר,*He gives food to all flesh,* is viewed as the climax of the entire*psalm* . Feeding every creature, day in and day out, is the greatest manifestation of God's provident kindliness. Though He rules in supreme splendor, God is close to the needs of every creature. Thank Adonoy for He is good, for His kindliness endures forever.⁷³ footnotes: ⁷³ This refrain is repeated in all twenty-six verses of the Psalm.

The righteous will blossom like a date palm, like a cedar¹⁰ 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: ⁵ 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 ⁶ 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 ⁷ The Sabbath day of rest affords me the opportunity to observe and appreciate the greatness of Your work.—Radak ⁸ God’s ‘works’ are the visible creation, while His ‘thoughts’ are the Divine purpose behind each created thing.—Seporno ⁹ Others translate, ‘You have increased my might like that of the wild ram.’ ¹⁰ 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. ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 74 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 74](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/74) **יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ** גֵּאוּת לָבֵשׁ לָבֵשׁ יְהֹוָה עֹז הִתְאַזָּר אַף תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל תִּמּוֹט: נָכוֹן כִּסְאֲךָ מֵאָז מֵעוֹלָם אָתָּה: נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת יְהֹוָה נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת קוֹלָם יִשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת דָּכְיָם: מִקֹּלוֹת מַיִם רַבִּים אַדִּירִים מִשְׁבְּרֵי יָם אַדִּיר בַּמָּרוֹם יְהֹוָה: עֵדֹתֶיךָ נֶאֶמְנוּ מְאֹד לְבֵיתְךָ נָאֲוָה קֹדֶשׁ יְהֹוָה לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים: **Koren/Steinsaltz:** Adonoy had begun His reign He has clothed Himself with majesty;¹¹ Adonoy has clothed Himself, He has girded Himself with strength.

But God is so great that any praise we offer is insufficient.—Rashi ⁹² This translation follows Rashi’s commentary. ⁹³ This verse is also translated, “You will send forth Your fury: it will consume them like straw.” According to the Zohar it thus refers to the time of the Resurrection, when God will destroy all the wicked. ⁹⁴ The water became hard as stone and the Egyptians were hurled against it with great force.—Rashi ⁹⁵ Seporno and others interpret the verse to read: “They, the mighty, sank like lead in the waters,” “mighty,” referring to the Egyptian officers rather than to the waters. ⁹⁶ God is “awesome in praise” for we fear that all our praise will prove inadequate. In truth, it is impossible to praise God fully, and David therefore said (Psalms 65:2) “For You, silence is praise.”—Rashi ⁹⁷ The Philistines had killed the Ephraimites thirty years earlier when they left Egypt by force. The Philistines were thus gripped with terror when they heard that Israel had escaped from Egypt.—Rashi ⁹⁸ Nations on all sides panicked: The Philistines to the west, the Edomites to the south, the Moabites to the east and the Canaanites to the north. The Philistines feared revenge. The Edomites panicked because they feared that Israel would now seek revenge for what Esau (Edom) had done to Jacob. The Moabites, the descendants of Lot, feared they would be punished because of the dispute between Lot and Abraham (Genesis 13:7). Canaan “melted away” because they realized that Israel was destined to take their land, and their astrologers told them that there was no way out.—Rabbainu Bachyah ⁹⁹ The two crossings are the respective crossings of the Arnon and the Jordan rivers before entering the Promised Land.—Unkelos ¹⁰⁰ Moses here prophesied that he would not be entering the Promised Land, and he therefore prayed that God should bring the Jews into His inheritance.—Rashi ¹⁰¹ God’s “habitat” on earth, the Holy Temple, is a parallel of the Holy Temple on high.—Rashi ¹⁰² This verse is not repeated in Exodus. But it is repeated in prayer to signify the end of the Ode, just as the last verse of Psalms 150 is repeated in the prayer whereas it is not repeated in the Psalms.—Avudraham ¹⁰³ This verse is a paraphrase of the previous verse as found in Targum Unkelos. ¹⁰⁴ Exodus 14:30-15:19. ¹⁰⁵ Psalms 22:29. The word “king” signifies one whose leadership is accepted freely by all his subjects. Therefore, in reference to Israel who willingly accept the Kingship of God, it says, “For the kingship is Adonoy’s.” A “ruler,” however, is one who forcibly rules people, without their consent. Regarding the nations who do not willingly submit to Adonoy’s Kingship, the Psalmist says, “And He rules over nations.”—Gaon of Vilna ¹⁰⁶ Ovadiah 1:21. ¹⁰⁷ Zechariah 14:9. In the future, God will be recognized by all the nations of the world who will accept Him willingly as their King. ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 89 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 89](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/89) תקנו לומר נשמת בשבת על שם נשמה יתירה הניתנת לאדם בשבת. יאמר כל השבח בשמחה עצומה. ומגודל התשוקה יקבל על עצמו מסירת נפש: **Koren/Steinsaltz:** The Mishna, (*Maseches Pesachim* 117b) refers to the following prayer as בִּרְכַּת הַשִּׁיר ,*the blessing of song.* Some commentaries suggest that it is so named because it forms a lengthy song that concludes with the blessing of יִשְׁתַּבַּח on page 000.

From world to world,¹⁰⁸ You are Almighty; and besides You we have no king, redeemer, or deliverer, [who] liberates, rescues, maintains and responds, and is compassionate in all times of trouble and distress. We have no king, helper, supporter but You. God of the first and last [generations], God of all created things, Master of all begotten things,¹⁰⁹ Who is extolled with a multitude of praises, Who conducts His world with kindliness and His creatures with compassion. Behold, Adonoy neither slumbers nor sleeps. arouses those who sleep and awakens those who slumber, Resurrector of the dead, and Healer of the sick, Who gives sight to the blind, and He gives speech to the mute, and releases the imprisoned. He supports those who have fallen and straightens the bent and uncovers that which is concealed. To You alone we give thanks. Even if our mouths were filled with song like the sea,¹¹⁰ and our tongues with exultation like the roaring of its waves, and our lips with praise like the breadth of the firmament, and our eyes were radiant like the sun and the moon, and our hands outspread like [the] eagles of the sky, and our feet light as the deer— we would never sufficiently thank You, Adonoy, our God and God of our fathers, and bless Your Name Our King for even one thousandth of the billions and trillions of favors, miracles and wonders which You did for our fathers and for us: from Egypt You redeemed us, Adonoy, our God; from the house of bondage, You liberated us; in famine You nourished us, and in [times of] plenty, You fed us; from the sword You saved us and from pestilence You removed us, and from many severe and lingering sicknesses, have You withdrawn us. Until now Your compassion has helped us and Your kindliness has not forsaken us. Do not abandon us, Adonoy, our God, for eternity. Therefore, the limbs which You apportioned for us, and the spirit and soul that You have breathed into our nostrils, and the tongue You have set in our mouth— behold, they will thank, bless, praise, glorify, sing, exalt, revere, sanctify, and proclaim the sovereignty of Your Name, our King always. For every mouth will thank You, and every tongue will swear allegiance to You, and every eye looks to You, and every knee will bend to You, and all that stand up will prostrate themselves before You; all hearts will fear You, and all innards and kidneys will sing to Your Name as is written, “All my bones will say: Adonoy! who is like unto You?” You save the poor man from one stronger than he, and the poor and needy from one who would rob him,¹¹¹ the cry of the poor You hear, the scream of the impoverished You hear and deliver. Who is like You? Who is equal to You? And who can be compared to You? The Almighty, the Great, the Powerful, the Awesome most high Almighty, Possessor of heaven and earth. We will extol You, we will praise You, we will glorify You, and bless Your holy Name as it is said, “By David: My soul, bless Adonoy! and all that is within me [bless] His holy Name!”¹¹² footnotes: ¹⁰⁸ 108 See note 1 on תפילה למשה , page 000. ¹⁰⁹ 109 Etz Yosef assumes that תּוֹלָדוֹת refers to events that occur in time. [See Proverbs 27:1, כִּי לֹא תֵדַע מַה יֻלַּד יוֹם , for you don’t know what a day may bring forth.] Thus God is Master of all events. Iyun Tefiloh says that בְּרִיוֹת , created beings, refers to everything God created during the six days of creation, whereas תּוֹלָדוֹת refers to those things that come forth, i.e., were “born” from the original created things. Thus He is God of all created things and Master of all begotten things even though they appear as products of nature. ¹¹⁰ Just like the sea is filled with water. ¹¹¹ Psalms 35:10. ¹¹² Psalms 103:1. ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 91 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 91](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/91) ביום טוב ינגן החזן **האל בתעצומות** **Koren/Steinsaltz:** On Yom Tov, the Chazzan begins here ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 92 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 92](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/92) **הָאֵל** בְּתַעֲצֻמוֹת עֻזֶּךָ. הַגָּדוֹל בִּכְבוֹד שְׁמֶךָ. הַגִּבּוֹר לָנֶצַח וְהַנּוֹרָא בְּנוֹרְאוֹתֶיךָ: **Koren/Steinsaltz:** [You are] Almighty in the power of Your might; Great in the honor of Your Name, Powerful for ever and awesome through Your awesome deeds; ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 93 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 93](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/93) בראש השנה וביום כפור ינגן החזן **המלך:** ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 94 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 94](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/94) **הַמֶּלֶךְ** הַיּוֹשֵׁב עַל כִּסֵּא רָם וְנִשָּׂא: **Koren/Steinsaltz:** the King Who sits on a throne [that is] exalted and uplifted. ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 95 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 95](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/95) בשבת מתחיל החזן **שוכן עד:** **Koren/Steinsaltz:** On Shabbos, the Chazzan begins here: ###### Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 96 [Siddur Sefard, Shabbat Morning Services, Pesukei D'Zimrah 96](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Siddur%20Sefard/s/Shabbat%20Morning%20Services,_Pesukei%20D%27Zimrah/r/96) **שׁוֹכֵן** עַד מָרוֹם וְקָדוֹשׁ שְׁמוֹ. וְכָתוּב רַנְּנוּ צַדִּיקִים בַּיהֹוָה. לַיְשָׁרִים נָאוָה תְהִלָּה. בְּפִי יְשָׁרִים תִּתְרוֹמָם. וּבְשִׂפְתֵי צַדִּיקִים תִּתְבָּרַךְ. וּבִלְשׁוֹן חֲסִידִים תִּתְקַדָּשׁ. וּבְקֶרֶב קְדוֹשִׁים תִּתְהַלָּל: **Koren/Steinsaltz:** He Who dwells in eternity, exalted and holy is His Name.
