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

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

A psalm of praise by David: I will exalt You, my G‑d the King, and bless Your Name forever and ever.

Every day I will bless You, and extol Your Name forever and ever.

The L‑rd is great and highly extolled, and there is no limit to His greatness.

One generation to another will laud Your works, and tell of Your mighty acts.

I will speak of the splendor of Your glorious majesty and of Your wondrous deeds.

They will proclaim the might of Your awesome acts, and I will recount Your greatness.

They will express the remembrance of Your abounding goodness, and sing of Your righteousness.

The L‑rd is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and of great kindness.

The L‑rd is good to all, and His mercies extend over all His works.

L‑rd, all Your works will give thanks to You, and Your pious ones will bless You.

They will declare the glory of Your kingdom, and tell of Your might,

to make known to men His mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom.

Your kingship is a kingship over all worlds, and Your dominion is throughout all generations.

The L‑rd supports all who fall, and straightens all who are bent.

The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give them their food at the proper time.

You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

The L‑rd is righteous in all His ways, and benevolent in all His deeds.

The L‑rd is close to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.

He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him, hears their cry and delivers them.

The L‑rd watches over all who love Him, and will destroy all the wicked.

My mouth will utter the praise of the L‑rd, and let all flesh bless His holy Name forever and ever.

And we will bless the L‑rd from now to eternity. Praise the L‑rd.

For the Choirmaster, a psalm by David.

May the L‑rd answer you on the day of distress; may the Name of the G‑d of Jacob fortify you.

May He send your help from the Sanctuary, and support you from Zion.

May He remember all your offerings, and accept with favor your burnt-offerings forever.

May He grant you your heart's desire, and fulfill your every counsel.

We will rejoice in your deliverance, and raise our banners in the Name of our G‑d; may the L‑rd fulfill all your wishes.

Now I know that the L‑rd has delivered His anointed one, answering him from His holy heavens with the mighty saving power of His right hand.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we invoke the Name of the L‑rd our G‑d.

They bend and fall, but we rise and stand firm.

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

A redeemer shall come to Zion and to those in Jacob who turn from transgression, says the L‑rd.

"And as for Me, this is My covenant with them," says the L‑rd: "My spirit which is upon you, and My words which I have placed in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your children, nor from the mouth of your children's children," says the L‑rd, "from now and forever."

You, Holy One, are enthroned upon the praises of Israel.

And they call one to another and say: "Holy, holy, holy is the L‑rd of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory." And they receive permission one from another and say:

"Holy in the highest heavens, the abode of His Presence; holy upon the earth, the work of His might; holy forever and to all eternity,

is the L‑rd of hosts; the whole earth is full of the radiance of His glory."

Then a wind lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great roaring sound: "Blessed be the glory of the L‑rd from His place."

Then a wind lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great rushing sound of those who praise, saying: "Blessed be the glory of the L‑rd from the place of the abode of His Presence."

The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever.

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

L‑rd, G‑d of Avraham, Yitzchak and Yisrael our fathers, keep this forever as the inclination of the thoughts of Your people's heart, and direct their heart toward You.

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

For You, my L‑rd, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.

Your righteousness is everlasting righteousness, and Your Torah is truth.

Grant truth to Yaakov, kindness to Avraham, as You swore to our fathers from days of old.

Blessed is my L‑rd who day by day bears our burden; He is the G‑d of our salvation forever.

The L‑rd of hosts is with us; the G‑d of Jacob 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.

Blessed is He, our G‑d, who created us for His glory and set us apart from those who go astray.

gave us the Torah of truth and planted eternal life within us. May He open our heart to His Torah, and instill in our heart love and fear of Him, to do His will and to serve Him with a perfect heart, so that we shall not toil in vain, nor bring forth confusion.

And so may it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that we observe Your statutes in this world, and be worthy to live and see and inherit goodness and blessing in the two eras of the days of Moshiach and the life of the World to Come.

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

Blessed is the man who trusts in the L‑rd, and the L‑rd will be his security.

Trust in the L‑rd forever and ever, for in G‑d the L‑rd is the strength of the worlds.

Those who know Your Name will trust in You, for You have not forsaken those who seek You, L‑rd.

The L‑rd desired, for the sake of His righteousness, to make the Torah great and glorious.

[On a day when the Torah is read, the Torah scroll is returned to the Ark and "Yehallelu" etc. is said. When returning the Torah to the Ark, say:

A prayer of David:

L‑rd, incline Your ear and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

Guard my soul, for I am pious; You, my G‑d, save Your servant who trusts in You.

Be gracious to me, my L‑rd, for to You I call all day long.

Gladden the soul of Your servant, for to You, my L‑rd, I lift up my soul.

For You, my L‑rd, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.

L‑rd, give ear to my prayer, and listen to the voice of my supplications.

Give ear, L‑rd, to my prayer, and hearken to the voice of my supplications.

On the day of my distress I call upon You, for You will answer me.

There is none like You among the mighty, my L‑rd, and there are no deeds like Yours.

All the nations that You have made will come and bow down before You, my L‑rd, and will give honor to Your Name.

For You are great and perform wonders; You alone are G‑d.

Teach me Your way, L‑rd, that I may walk in Your truth; unify my heart to fear Your Name.

I will thank You, my L‑rd, my G‑d, with all my heart, and I will honor Your Name forever.

For Your kindness toward me is great, and You have saved my soul from the depths of the grave.

O G‑d, wanton men have risen against me, and a band of ruthless men have sought my life, and they have not set You before them.

But You, my L‑rd, are a G‑d merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in kindness and truth.

Turn to me and be gracious to me; grant Your strength to Your servant, and save the son of Your maidservant.

Show me a sign for good, that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed, because You, L‑rd, have helped me and comforted me.

House of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the L‑rd.

For all the nations walk each in the name of its god, but we will walk in the Name of the L‑rd our G‑d forever and ever.

May the L‑rd our G‑d be with us as He was with our fathers; may He not leave us nor forsake us,

to incline our hearts to Him, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments, His statutes and His laws, which He commanded our fathers.

May these words of mine, with which I have pleaded before the L‑rd, be near to the L‑rd our G‑d day and night, that He may uphold the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, each day as it requires,

so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the L‑rd is G‑d; there is no other.

A Song of Ascents, by David.

Had it not been for the L‑rd who was with us - let Israel now say -

had it not been for the L‑rd who was with us when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive when their anger blazed against us.

Then the waters would have swept us away; the torrent would have passed over our soul.

then the raging waters would have swept over our soul. Blessed is the L‑rd, who did not give us as prey to their teeth.

Our soul is like a bird which has escaped from the fowler's snare; the snare broke and we escaped.

Our help is in the Name of the L‑rd, the Maker of heaven and earth.

[Song of the Day]

1 By David. The L‑rd is my light and my salvation — whom shall I fear? The L‑rd is the strength of my life — whom shall I dread?

2 When evildoers came upon me to devour my flesh, my oppressors and my foes, it was they who stumbled and fell.

3 Should an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; should war rise against me, in this I trust.

4 One thing I have asked of the L‑rd, this I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the L‑rd all the days of my life, to behold the pleasantness of the L‑rd and to visit His Sanctuary.

5 For He will hide me in His shelter on the day of adversity; He will conceal me in the hidden place of His tent; He will lift me up upon a rock.

6 And now my head will be raised above my enemies around me, and I will offer in His tent sacrifices with joyous shouts; I will sing and chant praises to the L‑rd.

7 L‑rd, hear my voice when I call; be gracious to me and answer me.

8 On Your behalf my heart says, “Seek My face”; Your face, L‑rd, I will seek.

9 Do not hide Your face from me; do not turn Your servant away in anger. You have been my help; do not abandon me nor forsake me, G‑d of my salvation.

10 Though my father and my mother have forsaken me, the L‑rd will take me in.

11 L‑rd, teach me Your way, and lead me on a straight path because of those who lie in wait for me.

12 Do not deliver me to the will of my oppressors, for false witnesses have risen against me, and they breathe violence.

13 Had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the L‑rd in the land of the living!

14 Hope in the L‑rd; be strong and let your heart take courage, and hope in the L‑rd.

Hope in the L‑rd; be strong and let your heart be valiant, and hope in the L‑rd.

There is none holy as the L‑rd, for there is none besides You, and there is no rock like our G‑d.

For who is G‑d except the L‑rd, and who is a rock except our G‑d?

There is none like our G‑d; there is none like our L‑rd; there is none like our King; there is none like our Savior.

Who is like our G‑d? Who is like our L‑rd? Who is like our King? Who is like our Savior?

Let us give thanks to our G‑d; let us give thanks to our L‑rd; let us give thanks to our King; let us give thanks to our Savior.

Blessed is our G‑d; blessed is our L‑rd; blessed is our King; blessed is our Savior.

You are our G‑d; You are our L‑rd; You are our King; You are our Savior; You will save us.

You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to be gracious to her; the appointed time has come.

You are the L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, before whom our fathers burned the offering of incense.

(Kerisos 6a; Jerusalem Talmud, Yoma ch. 4, halachah 5)

The compounding of the incense.

(1) The balm

(2) and the onycha

(3) the galbanum

(4) and frankincense, each weighing seventy maneh;

(5) myrrh,

(6) cassia,

(7) spikenard,

(8) and saffron, each weighing sixteen maneh;

(9) costus, twelve;

(10) aromatic bark, three;

(11) cinnamon, nine.

Lye of Carshina, nine kav; Cyprus wine, three se'ah and three kav — and if one has no Cyprus wine, he brings old white wine.

Salt of Sodom, a quarter kav; maaleh ashan [a smoke-raising herb], a minute amount.

Rabbi Nassan the Babylonian says:

Also a minute amount of Jordan amber. If one put honey into it, he rendered it unfit; and if he left out any one of all its ingredients, he is liable to death.

Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says:

The balsam is nothing other than a resin that drips from the balsam trees. The Carshina lye is used to rub the onycha so that it be fine; Cyprus wine is used to steep the onycha in it so that it be pungent. Though urine is well suited for this, urine is not brought into the Beis Hamikdash out of respect.

It was taught in the school of Elijah: Whoever studies Torah laws every day is assured of a place in the World to Come, for it is said: "The ways of the world are his"; do not read halichos (ways) but halachos (laws).

Talmud, Berachos 64a

Rabbi Elazar said in the name of Rabbi Chanina: Torah scholars increase peace in the world, as it is said: "And all your children will be learned in the Torah of the L‑rd, and great will be the peace of your children."

Do not read banayich (your children), but bonayich (your builders).

Those who love Your Torah have abundant peace, and there is no stumbling for them.

May there be peace within your walls, serenity within your palaces.

For the sake of my brethren and friends, I ask that there be peace within you.

For the sake of the House of the L‑rd our G‑d, I seek your good.

The L‑rd will give strength to His people; the L‑rd will bless His people with peace.

Kaddish D'Rabbanan

It is upon us to praise the Master of all, to ascribe greatness to the Creator of the beginning, that He has not made us like the nations of the lands, nor set us like the families of the earth; that He has not made our portion like theirs, nor our lot like that of all their multitudes.

for they bow to vanity and nothingness.

But we bend the knee, bow down and offer praise before the Supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He,

For He stretches out the heavens and establishes the earth; the seat of His glory is in the heavens above, and the abode of His might is in the loftiest heights. He is our G‑d; there is none else. Our King is truth; there is nothing besides Him, as it is written in His Torah:

"Know this day and take unto your heart that the L‑rd is G‑d; in the heavens above and upon the earth below there is nothing else."

And therefore we hope in You, L‑rd our G‑d, soon to behold the glory of Your might, to remove idols from the earth, and the false gods will be utterly cut off; to perfect the world under the kingship of the Almighty. All mankind shall call upon Your Name, to turn to You all the wicked of the earth. All the inhabitants of the world will recognize and know that to You every knee must bend, every tongue must swear allegiance.

Before You, L‑rd our G‑d, they will bow and prostrate themselves, and give honor to the glory of Your Name; they will all accept upon themselves the yoke of Your kingship, and You will soon reign over them forever and ever. For the kingship is Yours, and to all eternity You will reign in glory, as it is written in Your Torah:

"The L‑rd will reign forever and ever."

And it is said: "The L‑rd shall be King over the whole earth; on that day the L‑rd shall be One and His Name One."

Mourner's Kaddish

Do not fear sudden terror, nor the destruction of the wicked when it comes.

Contrive a scheme, but it will be foiled; conspire a plot, but it will not materialize, for G‑d is with us.

To your old age I am He, and to your hoary years I will sustain you; I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and deliver you.

Indeed, the righteous will extol Your Name; the upright will dwell in Your presence.

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. It is true.

[Exodus 13:1-16]

The L‑rd spoke to Moses, saying:

Sanctify to Me every firstborn; whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, of man and of beast, is Mine.

Moses said to the people: Remember this day on which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, for with a strong hand the L‑rd brought you out from here; and no leavened bread shall be eaten.

Today you are going out, in the month of spring.

And when the L‑rd brings you into the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you shall perform this service in this month.

For seven days you shall eat matzos, and on the seventh day there shall be a festival to the L‑rd.

Matzos shall be eaten throughout the seven days; no leavened bread shall be seen with you, nor shall leaven be seen with you, in all your borders.

And you shall tell your son on that day, saying: It is because of this that the L‑rd did for me when I went out of Egypt.

And it shall be for you a sign upon your hand and a remembrance between your eyes, so that the L‑rd's Torah may be in your mouth, for with a strong hand the L‑rd brought you out of Egypt.

You shall observe this statute at its appointed time, from year to year.

And when the L‑rd brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as He swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you,

you shall set apart for the L‑rd every first issue of the womb; and of every firstling of cattle that you have, the males shall be the L‑rd's.

Every firstling of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you do not redeem it, you shall break its neck. And every firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.

And when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What is this? you shall say to him: With a strong hand the L‑rd brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

And when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the L‑rd killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man to the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to the L‑rd every male that first opens the womb, and every firstborn of my sons I redeem.

And it shall be for a sign upon your hand and for tefillin between your eyes, for with a strong hand the L‑rd brought us out of Egypt.

So that you may remember the day you went out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

Only take heed and guard your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; and make them known to your children and to your children's children.

The day you stood before the L‑rd your G‑d at Horeb.

Remember what Amalek did to you on the way, when you came out of Egypt;

how he met you on the way and cut down all the weak who straggled behind you, when you were faint and weary, and he did not fear G‑d.

And it shall be, when the L‑rd your G‑d has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land which the L‑rd your G‑d gives you as an inheritance to possess, you shall blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under the heavens; you shall not forget.

Remember, do not forget, how you provoked the L‑rd your G‑d to anger in the wilderness.

Remember what the L‑rd your G‑d did to Miriam on the way when you came out of Egypt.

Remember the Shabbos day to sanctify it.
