A Psalm,

a song for the inauguration of the Temple,

by David.²⁸

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.

I will exalt You, Adonoy,

for You have upheld me,²⁹

footnotes: 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.

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

footnotes: 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

For His anger lasts only a moment,³¹

footnotes: 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

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

footnotes: ³² The literal translation of כָבוד is glory. Rabbi Yerucham Levovitz explained that the soul is called כָבוד because its only function is to give glory to God.

and not be stilled,

Adonoy, my God, forever will I thank You.

Adonoy is King, Adonoy was King

Adonoy will be King forever and ever.

Adonoy is King, Adonoy was King

Adonoy will be King forever and ever.

And Adonoy will be King

over the whole earth;

on that day Adonoy will be One

and His Name One.

Deliver us Adonoy, our God,

and gather us from among the nations,

to give thanks to Your holy Name—

to be extolled in Your praise.

Blessed is Adonoy, God of Israel

from the world till the next world

and all the people said: “Amen, Praise God.”

Let every soul praise God.

Praise God.

Psalm 19

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

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

Day to day makes speech flow,³⁴

footnotes: ³⁴ Daily renewal of the activities of creation, beginning with sunrise, stir mankind to proclaim God’s praises.—Rashi

and night to night expresses wisdom.³⁵

footnotes: 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

There is no speech, and there are no words;

their voice is never heard.³⁶

footnotes: 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

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

footnotes: 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

And it [the sun] is like a groom

departing his bridal chamber,³⁸

footnotes: 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

happy as a warrior to run on course.³⁹

footnotes: 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.

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

footnotes: 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

The fear of Adonoy, is pure,

it endures forever;

the judgments of Adonoy, are true,

they are righteous in unison.⁴¹

footnotes: ⁴¹ They are all in total harmony. There is no contradiction between them.—Ibn Ezra

More desirable than gold,

even more than quantities of fine gold;⁴²

footnotes: ⁴² פָּז is the purest form of refined gold.

and sweeter than honey,

or the drippings of honeycombs.

Even Your servant is careful of them,

since they guard⁴³ great reward.

footnotes: ⁴³ Because the Divine reward is contingent on fulfilling God’s commands, they are ‘guardians’ of that reward.—Metsudas Yehoshua

Errors—who can comprehend?

From hidden [faults], cleanse me.

Also from willful [sins]

spare Your servant,

let them not rule me,⁴⁴

footnotes: 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

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.

Psalm 33

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

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.

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.

Psalm 34

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

footnotes: ⁴⁶ David is proud that he is worthy of uttering God’s Name.

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;

footnotes: ⁴⁷ David describes himself as a helpless indigent waiting for God’s compassion.—Radak

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

footnotes: ⁴⁸ Seporno says that taste refers to the senses whereas see refers to the intellect.

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

footnotes: 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

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

footnotes: ⁵⁰ The expression פְּנֵי ה' , Face of God, describes Divine anger. See Leviticus 20:5, וֵשַׂמְתִּי אֲנִי אֶת פָּנַי בָּאִישׁ הַהוּא , “And I will set my Face against that man.”

to excise from earth, their memory.

They⁵¹ cry out and Adonoy hears

footnotes: ⁵¹ They refers to the righteous ones (Rashi) and to the the repentant sinners (Ibn Ezra).

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.

Psalm 90

A prayer of Moses, the man of God:

My Master

a dwelling[-place] have You been for us

in every generation.

Before the mountains were born,

and You brought forth the earth

and the inhabited world;

from world to world⁵²

footnotes: ⁵² From before this world to the next world You are Almighty.

You are Almighty.

You push man down

until the crushing point⁵³

footnotes: ⁵³ You permit the sinner to return in penitence even till the very last moment of his life.—Iyun Tefiloh

and You say,

“Return, children of man!”⁵⁴

footnotes: ⁵⁴ You constantly call the sinner to return, reminding him of the brevity of his life.—Iyun Tefiloh

For a thousand years are in Your eyes

like the yesterday that has just passed,

and like a night watch.

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

footnotes: ⁵⁵ Others translate ‘our hidden sins [are exposed]’ see Metsudas Dovid

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

footnotes: ⁵⁶ In them refers to the iniquities and the youth mentioned two verses before.—Rashi

[total] seventy years,

and with strength, eighty years,

and their pride is frustration and falsehood;

for, cut off quickly, we fly away.⁵⁷

footnotes: ⁵⁷ Not only is the span of our lives brief, but our few allotted years fly by swiftly.—Iyun Tefiloh

Who can [get to] know

the force of Your anger?

And like the fear of You so is Your wrath.⁵⁸

footnotes: ⁵⁸ Just as God is feared, so too is His wrath harsh when He punishes sinners.—Rashi

To count our days, teach us

and we will acquire a heart of wisdom.

Turn Adonoy—how long?⁵⁹

footnotes: ⁵⁹ Turn away from Your wrath! How much longer will You make us suffer?—Targum

And change Your mind about Your servants.

Satisfy us in the morning⁶⁰

footnotes: ⁶⁰ The Sages say that the morning refers to the time of our redemption after the long, black nights of exile.

with Your kindliness,

and we will sing and rejoice

throughout our days.⁶¹

footnotes: ⁶¹ If You show us kindliness in the morning of our youth, showing us the way of righteousness; we will rejoice and sing in our old age.

Make us rejoice⁶²

footnotes: ⁶² Make us rejoice in the era of the Messiah for as long as we suffered in exile.

like the days You afflicted us,

the years [when] we saw evil.

Let be revealed to Your servants,

Your deeds

and Your splendor be upon their children.

May the pleasantness of my Master our God

be upon us,⁶³

footnotes: ⁶³ In this closing verse, Moses prays that the Divine Presence rest on the Jewish nation exclusively.

and the work of our hands established for us,

and the work of our hands—establish it.

Psalm 91

He who dwells

in the shelter of the Supreme One,

under the protection of Shadai he will abide.

I say of Adonoy,

[He is] my refuge and my stronghold,

my God in Whom I trust.

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.

footnotes: ⁶⁴ ‘It’ refers to ‘arrow,’ pestilence,’ and ‘plague’ of the previous verse.

Only⁶⁵ with your eyes will you behold

footnotes: ⁶⁵ You will only see the destruction but you will not be harmed by it.

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.

When he calls upon Me, I will answer him;

I am with him in distress,

I will free him and honor him.

I will satiate him with longevity,

and will let him see My deliverance.

I will satiate him with longevity,

and will let him see My deliverance.

Psalm 98

A Psalm.

Sing to Adonoy, a new song⁶⁶

footnotes: ⁶⁶ God will remember the kindness He promised to Israel, because of His faithfulness.— Etz Yosef

for He has performed wonders;

His right hand effected deliverance for Him

[as did] His holy arm.

Adonoy has made known⁶⁷ His deliverance,

footnotes: ⁶⁷ This Psalm, like the previous ones, refers to the future when God will render final judgment on the world and its inhabitants.

before the eyes of the nations

He has revealed His justice.

He remembered His kindliness

and faithfulness⁶⁸

footnotes: ⁶⁸ This will be made known through His prophets.—Etz Yosef

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 theshofar

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.

Psalm 121

A Song of Ascents.

I will lift my eyes to the mountains:

from where will my help come?

My help comes from Adonoy,

Maker of heaven and earth.

He will not let your foot slip,

He will not slumber—your Guardian.

Behold, He does not slumber

nor does He sleep—the Guardian of Israel!

Adonoy is your Guardian,

Adonoy is your shelter at your right hand.

By day the sun will not smite you,

nor the moon at night.

Adonoy will guard you from all evil;

He will preserve your soul.

Adonoy will guard your going and coming,

from now and forever.

Psalm 122

A Song of Ascents of David.

I rejoiced when they said to me,

“To the House of Adonoy let us go.”

Our feet stood

within your gates, Jerusalem.

Jerusalem which is built

as a city that fosters togetherness.

There the tribes went up,

the tribes of God,

as a testimony of Israel;

to give thanks to the Name of Adonoy.

For there,

were set thrones for judgment,

thrones of the House of David.

Inquire after the peace of Jerusalem;

may those who love you enjoy serenity.

Peace be within your walls,

serenity within your palaces.

For the sake of my brethren and companions,

I will say, “Peace be with you.”

For the sake of the House of Adonoy

our God,

I will seek your good.

Psalm 123

A Song of Ascents.

To You I will lift my eyes,

[to You] Who dwells in heaven.

Behold, as the eyes of servants [look]

toward the hand of their master,

as the eyes of a maiden [look]

toward the hand of her mistress;

so our eyes [look] toward Adonoy our God

until he is gracious to us.

Be gracious to us, Adonoy, be gracious to us

for we are fully satiated with humiliation.

Our soul is fully satiated

with the scorning of those who are at ease,

with the humiliation

of the arrogant oppressors.

Psalm 124

A Song of Ascents of David.

“Had it not been for Adonoy Who was for us,”

let Israel now say.

“Had it not been for Adonoy

Who was for us,

when men rose up against us.

They would have then swallowed us alive,

when their wrath blazed against us.

The waters would have then swept us away,

affliction would have passed over our soul.

Then over our soul would have gone

the impetuous waters.

Blessed is Adonoy,

Who did not give us

as prey to their teeth.

Our soul escaped as a bird

out of the fowler's snare;

the snare is broken and we escaped.

Our help is in the Name of Adonoy,

Maker of heaven and earth.”

Psalm 135

Praise God,

Praise the Name of Adonoy,

Praise [Him], servants of Adonoy.

[You] who stand in the House of Adonoy,

in the courtyards of the House of our God.

Praise God, for Adonoy is good,

sing to His Name which is pleasant.

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

footnotes: ⁶⁹ According to Seporno, the verse is translated, ‘When Adonoy judges on behalf of His people, referring to the judgement of all who oppressed the Jewish people.

and upon His servants will He relent.

The idols⁷⁰ of the nations,

footnotes: ⁷⁰ עֲצַבֵּי is related to עֶצֶב which means ‘sadness’ or ‘grief.’ Idols bring only grief to those who depend on them.— Radak

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

footnotes: ⁷¹ The entire house of Israel is urged to bless God Who set us apart from the other nations and made us His people. Israel is told to bless God for its own unique position and manner of serving Him.— Ibn Ezra

House of Aaron, bless Adonoy!

House of Levi, bless Adonoy!

[You] who fear Adonoy,⁷² bless Adonoy!

footnotes: ⁷² This refers to those among the nations who converted to Judaism because of their fear and recognition of God.

Blessed is Adonoy from Zion,

He Who dwells in Jerusalem.

Praise God.

Psalm 136

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. We thereby declare that each act of kindliness for which we thank God is not of a temporary nature, lasting merely a day or a year. The effect of His kindliness endures forever, and we continually reap the benefits of every act of Divine kindliness.—Sfas Emes

Thank the God of gods,

for His kindliness endures forever.

Thank the Master of masters,

for His kindliness endures forever.

He Who does great wonders, alone,

for His kindliness endures forever.

He Who makes the heavens,

with understanding,

He Who spreads the earth over the waters,

for His kindliness endures forever.

He Who makes the great luminaries,

for His kindliness endures forever.

The sun to rule by day,

The moon and stars

to rule by night,

for His kindliness endures forever.

He Who struck Egypt

through their firstborn,

He brought Israel out of their midst,

for His kindliness endures forever.

With a strong hand and outstretched arm,

He Who parted the Sea of Reeds into parts,⁷⁴

footnotes: ⁷⁴ The sea was divided into twelve parts, so that each tribe crossed on its own route.

And He made Israel pass through it

into the Sea of Reeds,

for His kindliness endures forever.

He Who led His people

through the wilderness

for His kindliness endures forever.

He Who struck great kings,

for His kindliness endures forever.

And He slew mighty kings,

for His kindliness endures forever.

Sichon, king of the Amorites,

An inheritance to Israel, His servant,

for His kindliness endures forever.

In our lowliness, He remembered us,

for His kindliness endures forever.

And He freed us from our oppressors,

for His kindliness endures forever.

He gives food to all flesh,

for His kindliness endures forever.

Thank the Almighty of heaven

for His kindliness endures forever.⁷⁵

footnotes: ⁷⁵ The twenty six verses in this psalm symbolize the twenty six generations of man from Creation till the Torah was given. These generations were sustained solely by virtue of God’s kindliness even though they did not have the merit of Torah.
