(I Chronicles 16:8-36)

Give thanks to the L‑rd, proclaim His Name; make His deeds known among the nations.

Sing to Him, chant praises to Him; speak of all His wonders.

Glory in His holy Name; let the heart of those who seek the L‑rd rejoice.

Seek the L‑rd and His might; seek His countenance always.

Remember the wonders He has wrought, His miracles, and the judgments of His mouth,

O descendants of Israel His servant, children of Jacob, His chosen ones.

He is the L‑rd our G‑d; His judgments extend over the whole earth.

Remember His covenant forever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

the covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac.

He established it for Jacob as a statute, for Israel as an everlasting covenant, saying:

"To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance,"

when you were but few in number, very few, and strangers in it.

And they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

He permitted no man to wrong them, and admonished kings for their sake:

"Do not touch My anointed ones, and do not harm My prophets."

Sing to the L‑rd, all the earth; proclaim His deliverance from day to day.

Recount His glory among the nations, His wonders among all the peoples.

For the L‑rd is great and highly praised; He is awesome above all gods.

For all the gods of the nations are idols (pause) but the L‑rd made the heavens.

Majesty and splendor are before Him, strength and joy are in His place.

Render to the L‑rd, O families of nations, render to the L‑rd honor and strength.

Render to the L‑rd the honor due to His Name; bring an offering and come before Him; bow down to the L‑rd in resplendent holiness.

Tremble before Him, all the earth; indeed, the world is firmly established that it cannot falter.

The heavens will rejoice and the earth will exult; and they will proclaim among the nations, "The L‑rd reigns!"

The sea and its fullness will roar; the field and everything in it will rejoice.

Then the trees of the forest will sing before the L‑rd, for He has come to judge the earth.

Give thanks to the L‑rd for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting.

And say: Save us, G‑d of our salvation, gather us and rescue us from among the nations, to give thanks to Your holy Name and to glory in Your praise.

Blessed is the L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel, to all eternity; and all the people said, "Amen," and "Praise the L‑rd."

Exalt the L‑rd our G‑d and bow down at His footstool; He is holy.

Exalt the L‑rd our G‑d and bow down at His holy mountain, for the L‑rd our G‑d is holy.

And He, being compassionate, pardons iniquity and does not destroy; time and again He turns away His anger and does not arouse all His wrath.

May You, L‑rd, not withhold Your mercies from me; may Your kindness and truth constantly guard me.

L‑rd, remember Your mercies and Your kindnesses, for they have existed forever.

Ascribe strength to G‑d, whose majesty is over Israel and whose might is in the heavens.

You are awesome, G‑d, from Your Sanctuary; it is the G‑d of Israel who gives strength and power to the people; blessed is G‑d.

G‑d of retribution, O L‑rd; G‑d of retribution, reveal Yourself!

Arise, Judge of the earth; render to the arrogant their recompense.

Deliverance is the L‑rd's; may Your blessing be upon Your people, Selah.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Yaakov is our everlasting stronghold.

L‑rd of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

L‑rd, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Deliver Your people and bless Your inheritance; tend them and exalt them forever.

Our soul yearns for the L‑rd; He is our help and our shield.

For our heart rejoices in Him, for we trust in His holy Name.

May Your kindness, L‑rd, be upon us, as we have placed our hope in You.

Show us, L‑rd, Your kindness, and grant us Your deliverance.

Arise, be our help, and redeem us for the sake of Your kindness.

I am the L‑rd your G‑d who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide and I will fill it.

Happy is the people whose lot is thus; happy is the people whose G‑d is the L‑rd.

I have placed my trust in Your kindness; my heart will rejoice in Your deliverance. I will sing to the L‑rd, for He has dealt kindly with me.

(Psalm 30)

A Psalm, a song for the dedication of the House, by David.

I exalt You, L‑rd, for You have uplifted me, and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.

L‑rd my G‑d, I cried out to You, and You healed me.

L‑rd, You have brought up my soul from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not descend into the pit.

Sing to the L‑rd, you His pious ones, and give thanks to His holy Name.

For His wrath is but for a moment, when there is His favor there is life; weeping may tarry for the night, but in the morning there is joy.

In my security I said, "I shall never falter."

L‑rd, by Your favor You established my mountain as a stronghold; when You concealed Your face, I was terrified.

To You, L‑rd, I called, and to my L‑rd I appealed.

What profit is there in my death, in my going down to the grave? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?

Hear, L‑rd, and be gracious to me; L‑rd, be a help to me.

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me; You have loosened my sackcloth and girded me with joy.

So that my soul may sing to You and not be silent; L‑rd my G‑d, I will thank You forever.

The L‑rd is King, the L‑rd was King, the L‑rd will be King forever and ever.

The L‑rd is King, the L‑rd was King, the L‑rd will be King forever and ever.

The L‑rd shall be King over the whole earth; on that day the L‑rd shall be One and His Name One.

Deliver us, L‑rd our G‑d, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to Your holy Name and to glory in Your praise.

Blessed is the L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel, to all eternity, and let all the people say, "Amen." Praise the L‑rd.

Let every soul praise the L‑rd. Praise the L‑rd.

(Psalm 67)

For the Choirmaster; a Psalm, a song with instrumental music.

May G‑d be gracious to us and bless us;

may He make His countenance shine upon us forever,

to make known Your deliverance among all the nations.

The nations will extol You, O G‑d; all the nations will extol You.

The nations will rejoice and sing for joy, for You will judge the peoples justly, and guide the nations on earth, Selah.

The nations will extol You, O G‑d; all the nations will extol You.

The earth has yielded its produce; may G‑d, our G‑d, bless us.

May G‑d bless us, and may all the ends of the earth fear Him.

(Psalm 100)

A Psalm of thanksgiving.

Enter His gates with thanksgiving, His courtyards with praise; give thanks to Him, bless His Name. For the L‑rd is good; His kindness is everlasting, and His faithfulness is for all generations.

May the glory of the L‑rd endure forever; may the L‑rd rejoice in His works.

May the Name of the L‑rd be blessed from now and to all eternity.

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the L‑rd's Name is praised.

The L‑rd is high above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.

L‑rd, Your Name is forever; L‑rd, Your remembrance is throughout all generations.

The L‑rd has established His throne in heaven, and His kingship has dominion over all.

The heavens will rejoice and the earth will exult; and they will proclaim among the nations, "The L‑rd reigns!"

The L‑rd is King, the L‑rd was King, the L‑rd will be King forever and ever.

The L‑rd is King forever and ever; the nations have vanished from His land.

The L‑rd has annulled the counsel of nations; He has foiled the designs of peoples.

Many are the thoughts in the heart of man, but it is the counsel of the L‑rd that will prevail.

The counsel of the L‑rd stands forever, the thoughts of His heart throughout all generations.

For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it endured.

For the L‑rd has chosen Zion; He desired it for His habitation.

For G‑d has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel as His treasure.

For the L‑rd will not abandon His people, nor forsake His inheritance.

And He, being compassionate, pardons iniquity and does not destroy; time and again He turns away His anger and does not arouse all His wrath.

L‑rd, deliver us; may the King answer us on the day we call.

Happy are those who dwell in Your House; they will yet praise You forever.

(Psalm 146)

Praise the L‑rd! Praise the L‑rd, O my soul.

I will praise the L‑rd with my life; I will sing to my G‑d while I exist.

Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in mortal man who has not the power to save.

When his spirit departs, he returns to his earth; on that very day his plans come to naught.

Happy is he whose help is the G‑d of Jacob, whose hope rests upon the L‑rd his G‑d,

who made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them; who keeps His promise forever;

who renders justice to the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry; the L‑rd releases the bound.

The L‑rd opens the eyes of the blind; the L‑rd straightens those who are bowed down; the L‑rd loves the righteous.

The L‑rd watches over the strangers; He gives strength to the orphan and widow; and He thwarts the way of the wicked.

The L‑rd shall reign forever; your G‑d, O Zion, throughout all generations. Praise the L‑rd.

(Psalm 147)

Praise the L‑rd! For it is good to sing to our G‑d, for it is pleasant; praise befits Him.

The L‑rd is the rebuilder of Jerusalem; He will gather the dispersed of Israel.

He heals the broken-hearted, and binds up their wounds.

He counts the number of the stars; He calls each of them by name.

Great is our Master and abounding in might; His understanding is beyond reckoning.

The L‑rd heartens the humble; He casts the wicked down to the ground.

Lift your voices to the L‑rd in gratitude; sing to our G‑d with the harp.

He covers the heavens with clouds; He prepares rain for the earth, and makes grass grow upon the mountains.

He gives the animals their food, and the young ravens which cry out.

He does not desire the strength of the horse, nor does He favor the legs of man.

The L‑rd favors those who fear Him, those who hope in His kindness.

Praise the L‑rd, O Jerusalem; Zion, extol your G‑d.

For He has strengthened the bolts of your gates; He has blessed your children in your midst.

He has made peace within your borders; He satisfies you with the finest of wheat.

He sends His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.

He gives snow like wool; He scatters frost like ashes.

He hurls His ice like crumbs; who can withstand His cold?

He sends forth His command and melts them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow.

He tells His words to Jacob, His statutes and ordinances to Israel.

He has not done so for any other nation, and they do not know His ordinances. Praise the L‑rd!

(Psalm 148)

Praise the L‑rd! Praise the L‑rd from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.

Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts.

Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all the shining stars.

Praise Him, heavens of heavens, and the waters that are above the heavens.

Let them praise the Name of the L‑rd, for He commanded and they were created.

He has established them forever, for all time; He issued a decree, and it shall not be transgressed.

Praise the L‑rd from the earth, sea-monsters and all the depths;

fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind carrying out His command;

the mountains and all hills, fruit-bearing trees and all cedars;

the beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl;

kings of the earth and all nations, rulers and all judges of the land;

young men as well as maidens, old men together with youths.

Let them praise the Name of the L‑rd, for His Name alone is sublime; His majesty is over the earth and heavens.

He has raised the glory of His people, the praise of all His pious ones, of the children of Israel, the people close to Him. Praise the L‑rd!

(Psalm 149)

Praise the L‑rd! Sing to the L‑rd a new song, His praise in the assembly of the pious.

Let Israel rejoice in its Maker; let the children of Zion delight in their King.

Let them praise His Name with dancing; let them sing to Him with the drum and harp.

For the L‑rd desires His people; He adorns the humble with salvation.

Let the pious exult in glory; let them sing upon their beds.

Let the exaltation of G‑d be in their throat, and a double-edged sword in their hand,

to bring retribution upon the nations, punishment upon the peoples;

to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with iron fetters;

to execute upon them the prescribed judgment; it shall be a glory for all His pious ones. Praise the L‑rd!

(Psalm 150)

Praise the L‑rd! Praise G‑d in His holiness; praise Him in the firmament of His strength.

Praise Him for His mighty acts; praise Him according to His abundant greatness.

Praise Him with the call of the shofar; praise Him with harp and lyre.

Praise Him with drum and dance; praise Him with stringed instruments and flute.

Praise Him with resounding cymbals; praise Him with clanging cymbals.

Let every soul praise the L‑rd. Praise the L‑rd.

Let every soul praise the L‑rd. Praise the L‑rd.

Blessed is the L‑rd forever, Amen and Amen.

Blessed is the L‑rd from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem; praise the L‑rd.

Blessed is the L‑rd G‑d, the G‑d of Israel, who alone performs wonders.

Blessed is His glorious Name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with His glory, Amen and Amen.

(I Chronicles 29:10-13)

And David blessed the L‑rd in the presence of all the assembly, and David said: Blessed are You, L‑rd, the G‑d of Israel our father, forever and ever.

Yours, L‑rd, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in heaven and on earth is Yours.

Yours, L‑rd, is the kingship, and You are exalted as Head over all.

Wealth and honor come from You, and You rule over all; in Your hand are strength and power, and it is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all.

And now, our G‑d, we thank You and praise Your glorious Name.

(Nehemiah 9:5-11)

Let them bless Your glorious Name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

You alone are the L‑rd. You made the heavens, the heaven of heavens and all their hosts, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them, and You give life to them all; and the hosts of heaven bow down to You.

You are the L‑rd G‑d who chose Abram, brought him out of Ur Kasdim, and made his name Abraham.

And You found his heart faithful before You.

And You made the covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite and the Girgashite, to give it to his descendants; and You have fulfilled Your words, for You are righteous.

You saw the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and You heard their cry at the Sea of Reeds.

You performed signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, upon all his servants and upon all the people of his land, for You knew that they had dealt wickedly against them; and You made a name for Yourself as on this day.

You split the sea before them, and they passed through the midst of the sea on dry land; and their pursuers You cast into the depths, like a stone into mighty waters.

(Exodus 14:30 – 15:19)

On that day the L‑rd saved Israel from the hand of Egypt, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

Israel saw the great hand which the L‑rd wielded against Egypt, and the people feared the L‑rd, and they believed in the L‑rd and in His servant Moses.

Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the L‑rd, and they said: I will sing to the L‑rd, for He is most exalted; the horse and its rider He cast into the sea.

The L‑rd is my strength and my song, and He has been my salvation; this is my G‑d and I will glorify Him, the G‑d of my father and I will exalt Him. The L‑rd is a Master of war; the L‑rd is His Name.

Pharaoh's chariots and his army He cast into the sea, and his chosen captains were drowned in the Sea of Reeds.

The depths covered them; they sank into the deep like a stone.

Your right hand, L‑rd, is glorious in power; Your right hand, L‑rd, shatters the enemy.

In Your great majesty You tear down those who rise against You; You send forth Your wrath, it consumes them like straw.

With the breath of Your nostrils the waters piled up; the flowing waters stood upright like a wall; the depths congealed in the heart of the sea.

The enemy said: I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my desire shall be sated with them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them.

You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

Who is like You among the mighty, L‑rd? Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in praises, doing wonders!

You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.

In Your lovingkindness You led the people You redeemed; You guided them in Your strength to Your holy abode.

Nations heard and trembled; terror seized the inhabitants of Philistia.

Then the chiefs of Edom were terrified; trembling seized the mighty men of Moab; all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away.

Dread and fear fell upon them; by the greatness of Your arm they became still as a stone, until Your people passed over, L‑rd, until this people which You acquired passed over.

You will bring them and plant them on the mount of Your inheritance, the place You, L‑rd, have made for Your dwelling, the Sanctuary, my L‑rd, which Your hands established.

The L‑rd will reign forever and ever.

The L‑rd will reign forever and ever.

The L‑rd, His kingship is established forever and to all eternity.

For Pharaoh's horses, with his chariots and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the L‑rd brought back the waters of the sea upon them; and the children of Israel walked on dry land in the midst of the sea.

For kingship is the L‑rd's, and He rules over the nations.

And deliverers shall go up to Mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau, and the kingship shall be the L‑rd's.

And the L‑rd shall be King over all the earth; on that day the L‑rd shall be One and His Name One.

May Your Name be praised forever, our King, the G‑d, the great and holy King in heaven and on earth; for to You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, it is fitting forever to render song and praise, hymn and melody, strength and dominion, victory, greatness and might, praise and glory, holiness and sovereignty,

blessings and thanksgivings to Your great and holy Name; from the beginning to the end of the world You are G‑d.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, G‑d, King, great and extolled with praises, G‑d of thanksgivings, Master of wonders, Creator of all souls, Master of all works, who takes pleasure in songs of praise; the only King, Life of all the worlds.

From Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur, say Psalm 130, "A Song of Ascents: Out of the depths"

The chazzan recites Half Kaddish, followed by Barchu.

[BLESSINGS OF THE SHEMA]

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d, King of the universe, who forms light and creates darkness, who makes peace and creates all things.

In mercy He gives light to the earth and to those who dwell upon it, and in His goodness He renews each day, continually, the work of creation. How manifold are Your works, L‑rd! You have made them all with wisdom; the earth is full of Your possessions. The King who alone is exalted from of old, praised, glorified and extolled since days of yore. Eternal G‑d, in Your abundant mercy have mercy on us, Master of our strength, Rock of our stronghold, Shield of our salvation, a stronghold for us.

The blessed G‑d, great in knowledge, prepared and made the rays of the sun; the Beneficent One fashioned glory for His Name; He placed luminaries around His might; His chief hosts are holy beings who exalt the Almighty, constantly recounting the glory of G‑d and His holiness.

Be blessed, L‑rd our G‑d, in the heavens above and on the earth below, for all the praiseworthy work of Your hands, and for the light‑giving luminaries which You created; may they glorify You forever.

Be blessed forever, our Rock, our King and our Redeemer, Creator of holy beings; praised be Your Name forever, our King, Creator of ministering angels, whose ministering angels all stand in the heights of the universe and proclaim in awe, together, aloud, the words of the living G‑d and eternal King.

All of them are beloved, all of them are pure, all of them are mighty, all of them are holy, and all of them perform with awe and fear the will of their Creator. And all of them open their mouths in holiness and purity, with song and melody, and bless and praise, glorify and revere, sanctify and proclaim the sovereignty of

the Name of G‑d, the great, mighty and awesome King, holy is He.

And all of them take upon themselves the yoke of the kingship of heaven, one from another, and lovingly give permission to one another to sanctify their Creator with tranquility of spirit, with clear speech and holy melody. All of them as one respond with awe and say with fear:

Holy, holy, holy is the L‑rd of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.

And the Ofanim and the holy Chayos, with a mighty sound, rise toward the Seraphim, and facing them they give praise and say:

Blessed be the glory of the L‑rd from its place.

To the blessed G‑d they offer melodies; to the King, the living and eternal G‑d, they utter hymns and make their praises heard. For He alone is exalted and holy, performs mighty deeds, makes new things, is Master of battles, sows righteousness, makes salvation flourish, creates healing, is awesome in praises, Master of wonders, who in His goodness renews each day, continuously, the work of creation; as it is said: [Give thanks] to Him who makes the great lights, for His kindness is everlasting.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who forms the luminaries.

With everlasting love have You loved us, L‑rd our G‑d; with great and abundant compassion have You pitied us.

Our Father, our King,

For the sake of Your great Name, and for the sake of our fathers who trusted in You and whom You taught the laws of life to do Your will with a perfect heart, so be gracious to us and teach us.

Our Father, merciful Father, who is compassionate, have mercy on us, and put into our hearts understanding to comprehend and to discern, to hear, to learn and to teach, to observe, to do and to fulfill all the words of the teachings of Your Torah with love.

Enlighten our eyes in Your Torah, attach our hearts to Your mitzvos, and unite our hearts to love and fear Your Name, and may we never be put to shame, nor be disgraced, nor stumble, forever and ever.

For we trust in Your holy, great and awesome Name; we will rejoice and be glad in Your salvation.

May Your mercies, L‑rd our G‑d, and Your abounding kindnesses never forsake us.

Hasten and bring upon us blessing and peace speedily, and bring us in peace from the four corners of the earth; break the yoke of the nations from upon our neck, and lead us speedily, upright, to our land. For You are G‑d who performs acts of deliverance, and You have chosen us from among every people and tongue, and You have, in love, brought us near, our King, to Your great Name, to give thanks to You, to proclaim Your Oneness, and to love Your Name.

Blessed are You, L‑rd, who chooses His people Israel with love.

Hear, O Israel, the L‑rd is our G‑d, the L‑rd is One.

Blessed be the name of the glory of His kingdom forever and ever.

You shall love the L‑rd your G‑d with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.

And these words which I command you today shall be upon your heart.

You shall teach them thoroughly to your children, and you shall speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise.

You shall bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes.

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates.

(Deuteronomy 11:13-21)

And it will be, if you will diligently obey My commandments which I command you this day, to love the L‑rd your G‑d and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

I will give rain for your land at the proper time, the early rain and the late rain, and you will gather in your grain, your wine and your oil.

And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be sated.

Take care lest your heart be lured away, and you turn astray and worship other gods and bow down to them.

For then the L‑rd's wrath will flare up against you, and He will close the heavens so that there will be no rain and the earth will not yield its produce, and you will swiftly perish from the good land which the L‑rd gives you.

Therefore, place these words of Mine upon your heart and upon your soul, and bind them as a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as tefillin between your eyes.

You shall teach them to your children, to speak of them when you sit in your house and when you walk on the way, when you lie down and when you rise.

And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and upon your gates,

so that your days and the days of your children may be prolonged on the land which the L‑rd swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.

(Numbers 15:37-41)

The L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying:

Speak to the children of Israel and tell them to make for themselves tzitzis on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to attach a thread of blue on the tzitzis of each corner.

They shall be to you as tzitzis, and you shall look upon them and remember all the commandments of the L‑rd and fulfill them, and you will not follow after your heart and after your eyes, after which you go astray,

so that you may remember and fulfill all My commandments and be holy to your G‑d.

I am the L‑rd your G‑d who brought you out of the land of Egypt to be your G‑d; I am the L‑rd your G‑d.

True and certain, established and enduring, upright and faithful.

beloved and cherished, delightful and pleasant, awesome and mighty, well‑ordered and acceptable, good and beautiful is this matter to us forever and ever.

It is true that the eternal G‑d is our King, the Rock of Yaakov, the Shield of our deliverance. He endures throughout all generations; His Name endures and His throne is established; His kingship and His faithfulness endure forever. His words are living and enduring, faithful and desirable for ever and to all eternity, for our fathers and for us, for our children and for our generations, and for all the generations of the seed of Israel, Your servants.

For the early generations and for the later ones, this is a good and enduring matter, in truth and faithfulness, a law that will not pass away.

It is true that You are the L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, our King and King of our fathers, our Redeemer and Redeemer of our fathers, our Rock, the Rock of our salvation, our Deliverer and Rescuer; Your Name is from eternity, and we have no other G‑d

besides You, forever.

You have always been the help of our fathers, a shield and a savior for them and for their children after them in every generation.

Your abode is in the heights of the universe, and Your judgments and Your righteousness extend to the ends of the earth.

True, happy is the man who heeds Your commandments, and takes Your Torah and Your word to heart.

True, You are the Master of Your people and a mighty King to wage their battles, for fathers and sons.

True, You are the first and You are the last, and besides You we have no King, Redeemer and Savior.

True, You redeemed us from Egypt, L‑rd our G‑d, and freed us from the house of bondage.

All their firstborn You slew, and Your firstborn, Israel, You redeemed; You split the Sea of Reeds for them, drowned the wicked, and brought the beloved ones across; the waters covered their foes, not one of them was left.

For this the beloved ones praised and exalted G‑d, and the cherished ones offered hymns, songs and praises, blessings and thanksgivings to the King, the living and enduring G‑d.

High and exalted, great and awesome, He humbles the haughty to the ground and raises the lowly on high; He frees the captives, redeems the humble, helps the poor, and answers His people Israel when they cry out to Him.

Praises to the Most High G‑d, their Redeemer; blessed is He and He is blessed. Moses and the children of Israel sang a song to You with great joy, and they all said:

Who is like You among the mighty, O L‑rd! Who is like You, glorious in holiness, awesome in praises, performing wonders!

With a new song the redeemed praised Your great Name at the seashore; all of them together gave thanks, proclaimed Your sovereignty and said: The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever. And it is said: Our Redeemer, the L‑rd of hosts is His Name, the Holy One of Israel. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who redeemed Israel.

My L‑rd, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare Your praise.

Blessed are You, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, G‑d of Abraham, G‑d of Isaac and G‑d of Jacob, the great, mighty and awesome G‑d, exalted G‑d, who bestows bountiful kindness, who creates all things, who remembers the piety of the Patriarchs, and who, in love, brings a redeemer to their children's children, for the sake of His Name. O King, Helper, Deliverer and Shield. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Shield of Abraham.

You are mighty forever, my L‑rd; You revive the dead; You are powerful to save.

Summer: He causes the dew to descend.

Winter: He causes the wind to blow and the rain to fall.

He sustains the living with kindness, revives the dead with great mercy, supports the falling, heals the sick, releases the bound, and keeps His faith with those who sleep in the dust. Who is like You, Master of mighty deeds, and who can be compared to You, King who brings death and restores life and causes deliverance to spring forth! You are faithful to revive the dead. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who revives the dead.

You are holy and Your Name is holy, and holy beings praise You daily for all eternity. Blessed are You, L‑rd, the holy G‑d.

You graciously bestow knowledge upon man and teach mortals understanding. Graciously bestow upon us from You wisdom, understanding and knowledge. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who graciously bestows knowledge.

Bring us back, our Father, to Your Torah; draw us near, our King, to Your service; and cause us to return to You in wholehearted repentance. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who desires repentance.

Forgive us, our Father, for we have sinned; pardon us, our King, for we have transgressed; for You are a good and forgiving G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, gracious One who pardons abundantly.

Behold our affliction and wage our battle; redeem us speedily for the sake of Your Name, for You are a mighty redeeming G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Redeemer of Israel.

Heal us, O L‑rd, and we will be healed; help us and we will be saved, for You are our praise. Grant complete cure and healing to all our wounds, for You, G‑d, King, are a faithful and merciful healer. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who heals the sick of His people Israel.

Bless for us, L‑rd our G‑d, this year and all the kinds of its produce for good, and bestow

Summer: blessing

Winter: dew and rain for a blessing

upon the face of the earth; satisfy us from Your goodness, and bless our year like the good years, for a blessing; for You are G‑d who is good and does good, and You bless the years. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who blesses the years.

Sound the great shofar for our freedom, raise a banner to gather our exiles, and gather us together from the four corners of the earth into our land. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who gathers the dispersed of His people Israel.

Restore our judges as in former times and our counselors as of old; remove from us sorrow and sighing; and reign over us, You alone, O L‑rd, with kindness and compassion, with righteousness and justice. Blessed are You, L‑rd, King who loves righteousness and justice.

Let there be no hope for informers, and may all the heretics and all the wicked instantly perish; may all the enemies of Your people be speedily cut off; and may You swiftly uproot, break, crush and subdue the reign of wickedness speedily in our days. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who breaks enemies and subdues the wicked.

May Your mercies be aroused, L‑rd our G‑d, upon the righteous, upon the pious, upon the elders of Your people, the House of Israel, upon the remnant of their sages, upon the righteous converts and upon us. Grant ample reward to all who truly trust in Your Name, and place our lot among them; may we never be put to shame, for we have put our trust in You. Blessed are You, L‑rd, the support and security of the righteous.

Return in mercy to Jerusalem Your city and dwell therein as You have promised; speedily establish therein the throne of David Your servant, and rebuild it, soon in our days, as an everlasting edifice. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who rebuilds Jerusalem.

Speedily cause the offspring of David Your servant to flourish, and increase his power by Your salvation, for we hope for Your salvation all day. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who causes the power of salvation to flourish.

Hear our voice, L‑rd our G‑d; merciful Father, have compassion upon us and accept our prayers in mercy and favor, for You are G‑d who hears prayers and supplications; do not turn us away empty-handed from Your presence, our King, for You hear the prayer of every mouth. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who hears prayer.

Look with favor, L‑rd our G‑d, on Your people Israel and pay heed to their prayer; restore the service to the inner sanctuary of Your House, and accept with love and favor Israel's fire-offerings and their prayer; and may the service of Your people Israel always find favor.

May our eyes behold Your return to Zion in mercy. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who restores His Divine Presence to Zion.

We thankfully acknowledge that You are the L‑rd our G‑d and the G‑d of our fathers forever. You are the strength of our life, the shield of our salvation, in every generation. We will give thanks to You and recount Your praise, for our lives which are committed into Your hand, for our souls which are entrusted to You, for Your miracles which are with us daily, and for Your wonders and favors at all times, evening, morning and noon. You are the Beneficent One, for Your mercies never cease; the Merciful One, for Your kindnesses never end; for we always place our hope in You.

And for all these, may Your Name, our King, be continually blessed, exalted and extolled forever and all time.

And all living things shall forever thank You and praise Your great Name eternally, for You are good. G‑d, You are our everlasting salvation and help, O benevolent G‑d. Blessed are You, L‑rd, Beneficent is Your Name, and to You it is fitting to offer thanks.

Bestow peace, goodness and blessing, life, graciousness, kindness and mercy, upon us and upon all Your people Israel. Bless us, our Father, all of us as one, with the light of Your countenance, for by the light of Your countenance You gave us, L‑rd our G‑d, the Torah of life and loving-kindness, righteousness, blessing, mercy, life and peace. May it be good in Your eyes to bless Your people Israel at all times and at every moment with Your peace. Blessed are You, L‑rd, who blesses His people Israel with peace.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, L‑rd, my Strength and my Redeemer.

My G‑d, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceitfully. To those who curse me, let my soul be silent; and let my soul be like dust to all. Open my heart to Your Torah, and let my soul eagerly pursue Your commandments. And all who plot evil against me, speedily nullify their counsel and frustrate their plans. Let them be like chaff before the wind; let the angel of the L‑rd thrust them away. That Your beloved ones may be delivered, help with Your right hand and answer me. Do it for the sake of Your Name; do it for the sake of Your right hand; do it for the sake of Your Torah; do it for the sake of Your holiness. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable before You, L‑rd, my Strength and my Redeemer.

He who makes peace in His heavens, may He make peace for us and for all Israel; and say, Amen.

May it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that the Beis Hamikdash be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah.
