The Continual Offering

Shulchan Aruch of the Alter Rebbe 48:1

All Israel have adopted the custom, and have established it as an obligation upon themselves, to read the section of the continual offering every day before prayer; for through this reading the Holy One, blessed be He, considers it as if they had offered the continual offering at its appointed time.

Shulchan Aruch of the Alter Rebbe 1:19

It is customary to say the section of the removal of the ashes, then the section of the continual offering, then the section of the altar for burning incense, and then the section of the spices of the incense and their preparation, for this was the order of the services in the Beis Hamikdash.

Numbers 28:1-8

The L‑rd spoke to Moshe, saying: Command the children of Israel and say to them: My offering, My food for My fire-offerings, a pleasing aroma to Me, you shall be careful to offer to Me at its appointed time. And say to them: This is the fire-offering which you shall bring to the L‑rd: two yearling lambs without blemish each day, as a continual burnt offering. The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer in the afternoon; and a tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mixed with a quarter of a hin of crushed olive oil. It is a continual burnt offering, as was made at Mount Sinai, for a pleasing aroma, a fire-offering to the L‑rd. And its libation shall be a quarter of a hin for the one lamb; in the Sanctuary pour out a libation of strong wine to the L‑rd. And the other lamb you shall offer in the afternoon; like the meal offering of the morning and like its libation you shall offer it, a fire-offering of pleasing aroma to the L‑rd.

The Continual Offering

Leviticus 1:11

He shall slaughter it on the north side of the altar before the L‑rd, and the sons of Aharon, the Kohanim, shall sprinkle its blood all around the altar.

Prayer

You are the L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, before whom our fathers burned the incense of spices when the Beis Hamikdash stood, as You commanded them through Moshe Your prophet, as is written in Your Torah:

Incense

Shulchan Aruch of the Alter Rebbe 48:1

It is good to say the section of the incense as well, after the section of the continual offering.

Exodus 30:34-36

The L‑rd said to Moshe: Take for yourself spices: balsam, onycha and galbanum, spices, and pure frankincense, each of equal weight. You shall make it into incense, a compound expertly blended, well mingled, pure and holy. You shall grind some of it very fine, and place some of it before the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you.

And it is said: Exodus 30:7-8 Aharon shall burn upon it incense of spices; every morning, when he cleans the lamps, he shall burn it. And when Aharon kindles the lamps

Kerisos 6a-b; Jerusalem Talmud, Yoma 4:5 (with variations in wording)

The Rabbis taught: How was the incense compounded? It contained three hundred sixty-eight manehs: three hundred sixty-five corresponding to the days of the solar year, one maneh for each day, half in the morning and half in the afternoon; and three extra manehs, from which the Kohen Gadol took his two handfuls on Yom Kippur. He would return them to the mortar on the eve of Yom Kippur and grind them very 20 thoroughly, so that it would be extremely fine. It contained eleven kinds of spices, and these are they: (1) balsam, (2) onycha, (3) galbanum, (4) frankincense, each weighing seventy manehs; (5) myrrh, (6) cassia, (7) spikenard, (8) saffron, each weighing sixteen manehs; (9) costus, twelve; (10) aromatic bark, three; (11) cinnamon, nine. Also Carshina lye, nine kavs; Cyprus wine, three se'ahs and three kavs; if he had no Cyprus wine, he would bring strong old white wine. Sodom salt, a quarter of a kav; and a smoke-raising herb, a minute amount. Rabbi Nassan of Babylon says: Also a minute amount of Jordan amber. If he added honey to it, he made it unfit; and if he omitted any one of its spices, he is liable to death. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says: The balsam is nothing but a resin that drips from the balsam trees. The Carshina lye was used to rub the onycha to make it beautiful; the Cyprus wine was used to soak the onycha to make it pungent. Was not urine better suited for that? But urine is not brought into the Beis Hamikdash out of respect. It was taught: Rabbi Nassan says: As he would grind, the overseer would say, "Grind it thoroughly, thoroughly grind it," because the sound is good for the spices. If he compounded it in half-quantities, it is fit; but as to a third or a quarter, we have not heard. Rabbi Yehudah said: This is the rule: if it is in its proper proportions, it is fit in half-quantities; but if he omitted any one of its spices, he is liable to death. It was taught: Bar Kappara says: Once every sixty or seventy years, the accumulated leftovers amounted to half the yearly quantity. Bar Kappara further taught: Had one put a kortov of honey into it, no 21 one could have stood its scent. Why then was honey not mixed into it? Because the Torah said: "For any leaven and any honey, you shall not burn of them as a fire-offering to the L‑rd."

Psalms 46:8

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

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

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

Psalms 84:13

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

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

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

Psalms 20:10

L‑rd, help us! May the King answer us on the day we call.

L‑rd, help us! May the King answer us on the day we call.

L‑rd, help us! May the King answer us on the day we call.

Malachi 3:4

Then the offering of Yehudah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the L‑rd, as in the days of old and as in former years.

Shulchan Aruch of the Alter Rebbe 48:1

It is customary to say "Abaye set out the order of the altar service" etc. and "Master of the worlds" etc.

Yoma 33a-b

Abaye set out the order of the altar service on the authority of tradition, according to Abba Shaul: The large pyre precedes the secondary pyre for the incense; the secondary pyre for the incense precedes the placing of the two logs of wood; the placing of the two logs of wood precedes the removal of the ashes from the inner altar; the removal of the ashes from the inner altar precedes the cleaning of five lamps; the cleaning of five lamps precedes the blood of the continual offering; the blood of the continual offering precedes the cleaning of the two lamps; the cleaning of the two lamps precedes the incense; the incense precedes the limbs; the limbs precede the meal offering; the meal offering precedes the pan-cakes; the pan-cakes precede the libations; the libations precede the Musaf offerings; the Musaf offerings precede the frankincense dishes; and the frankincense dishes precede the afternoon continual offering. For it is said: "And he shall arrange the burnt offering upon it, and burn upon it the fats of the peace offerings": upon it [the morning offering] complete all the offerings.

A piyut of the Kabbalists

We implore You, by the great power of Your right hand, release the captive. (Abg Yatz)

Accept the prayer of Your people; strengthen us, purify us, Awesome One. (Kra Satan)

Mighty One, we beseech You, guard as the apple of the eye those who seek Your Oneness. (Ngd Yachash)

Bless them, purify them; bestow upon them always Your merciful righteousness. (Btr Tzatag)

Powerful, Holy One, in Your abundant goodness, guide Your congregation. (Chakv Tna)

Only and Exalted One, turn to Your people, who are mindful of Your holiness. (Ygl Pzk)

Accept our supplication and hear our cry, You who know hidden things. (Shku Tzis)

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

When Tachanun is not said, the following piece is omitted

Master of the worlds, You commanded us to offer the daily offering at its appointed time, and to burn the incense in its time, and that the Kohanim be at their service, the Levi'im on their platform, and Israel at their station. But now, because of our sins, the Beis Hamikdash is destroyed and the daily offering and the incense have ceased, and we have neither a Kohen at his service, nor a Levi on his platform, nor an Israelite at his station.

Therefore, may it be Your will, L‑rd our G‑d and G‑d of our fathers, that the words of our lips be considered, accepted and favored before You as though we had offered the daily offering at its appointed time, stood at its station, and burned the incense in its time, as it is said: "Let our lips take the place of bullocks."

And it is said: "This is the law of the burnt-offering, of the meal-offering, of the sin-offering, of the guilt-offering, of the installation-offerings, and of the sacrifice of peace-offerings."

^[1] Which is the place of the offerings? The most holy offerings were slaughtered on the north side. The bullock and the he-goat of Yom Kippur were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a sacred vessel on the north side. Their blood required sprinkling between the poles of the Ark, upon the curtain, and upon the golden altar; omitting even one of these sprinklings invalidated the atonement. The remainder of the blood he would pour onto the western base of the outer altar; if he did not pour it, this did not invalidate it.

^[2] The bullocks and the he-goats that were burned were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a sacred vessel on the north side. Their blood required sprinkling upon the curtain and upon the golden altar; omitting even one of these sprinklings invalidated the atonement. The remainder of the blood he would pour onto the western base of the outer altar; if he did not pour it, this did not invalidate it. Both these and those were burned at the place of the ashes.

^[3] Sin-offerings of the community and of the individual — these are the communal sin-offerings: the he-goats of Rosh Chodesh and of the festivals. They were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a sacred vessel on the north side. Their blood required four applications, on the four corners of the altar. How was it done? He ascended the ramp, turned to the ledge, and came to the south-east corner, then the north-east, the north-west, and the south-west. The remainder of the blood he would pour onto the southern base. They were eaten within the curtains of the courtyard, by the males of the priesthood, prepared in any manner, on that day and the following night until midnight.

^[4] The burnt-offering was among the most holy offerings. It was slaughtered on the north side and its blood was received in a sacred vessel on the north side. Its blood required two applications which make up four. It required flaying and cutting into pieces, and it was entirely consumed by the fire.

^[5] The communal peace-offerings and the guilt-offerings — these are the guilt-offerings: the guilt-offering for robbery, the guilt-offering for misuse of sacred property, the guilt-offering for violating a betrothed maidservant, the guilt-offering of a Nazirite, the guilt-offering of a leper, and the guilt-offering brought in case of doubt. They were slaughtered on the north side, and their blood was received in a sacred vessel on the north side. Their blood required two applications which make up

four. They were eaten within the curtains of the courtyard, by the males of the priesthood, prepared in any manner, on that day and the following night until midnight.

^[6] The thanksgiving-offering and the ram of a Nazirite were offerings of lesser holiness. They were slaughtered anywhere in the Temple courtyard, and their blood required two applications which make up four. They were eaten anywhere in the city, by any person, prepared in any manner, on that day and the following night until midnight. The portions separated from them were treated like them, except that the separated portions were eaten only by the Kohanim, their wives, their children and their servants.

^[7] Peace-offerings were offerings of lesser holiness. They were slaughtered anywhere in the Temple courtyard, and their blood required two applications which make up four. They were eaten anywhere in the city, by any person, prepared in any manner, for two days and one night. The portions separated from them were treated like them, except that the separated portions were eaten only by the Kohanim, their wives, their children and their servants.

^[8] The firstborn, the tithe and the Pesach offering were offerings of lesser holiness. They were slaughtered anywhere in the Temple courtyard, and their blood required one application, provided it was put above the base of the altar. They differed in their eating: the firstborn was eaten by the Kohanim, and the tithe by any person; they were eaten anywhere in the city, prepared in any manner, for two days and one night. The Pesach offering was eaten only at night, only until midnight, only by those registered for it, and only roasted.

(Toras Kohanim, beginning of Parshas Vayikra)

Rabbi Yishmael says: The Torah is expounded by means of thirteen rules:

^[1] An inference from a minor to a major case, and from a major to a minor case.

^[2] An inference from similar words in two passages.

^[3] A general principle derived from one verse, and a general principle derived from two verses.

^[4] A general statement followed by a specific statement.

^[5] A specific statement followed by a general statement.

^[6] A general statement, followed by a specific statement, followed by a general statement — you may only infer what is similar to the specific statement.

^[7] A general statement which requires a specific statement to clarify it, and a specific statement which requires a general statement to clarify it.

^[8] Anything that was included in a general statement, but was singled out from the general statement in order to teach something, was not singled out to teach only about itself, but to teach about the entire general statement.

^[9] Anything that was included in a general statement, but was singled out to discuss a provision similar to the general category, was singled out to be more lenient and not more stringent.

^[10] Anything that was included in a general statement, but was singled out to discuss a provision not similar to the general category, was singled out both to be more lenient and to be more stringent.

^[11] Anything that was included in a general statement, but was singled out to be treated as a new case, cannot be returned to the general statement unless the verse returns it explicitly.

^[12] A matter derived from its context, and a matter derived from what follows it.

^[13] Similarly, two verses which contradict each other, until a third verse comes and decides between them.

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

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 strength; seek His countenance always.

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

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

He is the L‑rd our G‑d; His judgments are over all the earth.

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

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 He rebuked kings for their sake:

"Do not touch My anointed ones, and do no harm to My prophets."

Sing to the L‑rd, all the earth; proclaim His salvation 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 mere 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 the splendor of holiness.

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

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

The sea and its fullness will roar; the field and all that is in it will be jubilant.

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 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, from the beginning of the world 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.

He, being merciful, 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 Your truth constantly protect me.

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

Ascribe strength to G‑d; His majesty is over Israel, and His might is in the skies.

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

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

Rise up, 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 Jacob is a stronghold for us, Selah.

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

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

Save Your people and bless Your heritage; tend them and exalt them forever.

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

For our heart shall rejoice in Him, for we have put our trust in His holy Name.

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

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

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.

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

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 anger lasts but a moment, there is life in His favor; weeping may tarry for the night, but in the morning there is joyous song.

And I said in my security, "I shall never falter."

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

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

What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? 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.

PLEASE RISE

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.

Save 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, from the beginning of the world 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!

For the Conductor, with instrumental music, a psalm, a song.

May G‑d be gracious to us and bless us; may He cause His face to shine upon us forever,

that Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all the nations.

The peoples will thank You, O G‑d; all the peoples will thank You.

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

The peoples will thank You, O G‑d; all the peoples will thank 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.

Hold the two front tzitzis in hand.

We will praise You, L‑rd our G‑d, with praises and songs; we will exalt, laud and glorify You, proclaim You King, and mention Your Name, our King, our G‑d, the only One, the Life of all worlds, the King, who is praised and glorified to all eternity is His great Name. Blessed are You, L‑rd, King who is extolled with praises. (Amen)

KISS THE TZITZIS AND RELEASE THEM FROM THE HAND

A Psalm of thanksgiving.

Shout for joy to the L‑rd, all the earth. Serve the L‑rd with joy; come before Him with joyous song.

Know that the L‑rd is G‑d; He has made us and we are His, His people and the flock of His pasture.

YOU MAY BE SEATED

May the glory of the L‑rd be 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 rules over all.

The heavens will rejoice and the earth will exult; and they will say 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 a man's heart, 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 into being; He commanded, and it endured.

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

For the L‑rd has chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel as His treasure.

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

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

L‑rd, help 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.

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 His greatness is unfathomable.

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 speak of Your strength,

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 near 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 saves 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!

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 no 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 those who are bound.

The L‑rd opens the eyes of the blind; the L‑rd straightens those who are bent; 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!

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

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 humbles 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 animal its food, to the young ravens which cry to Him.

He does not desire those who rely on the strength of the horse, nor does He want those who rely on the thighs of man.

The L‑rd desires those who fear Him, those who yearn for His kindness.

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

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

He has made peace within your borders, and satiates you with the finest of wheat.

He issues His command to the earth; swiftly runs

His word.

He gives snow like fleece; 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!

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 trees and all cedars;

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

kings of the earth and all nations, princes 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, praise for all His pious ones, for the children of Israel, the people close to Him. Praise the L‑rd!

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 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 in chains, and their nobles in iron fetters;

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

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!

PLEASE RISE

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

Blessed is the L‑rd from Zion, who dwells in Jerusalem. Praise G‑d.

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.

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, are the greatness, the might, the beauty, the victory and the splendor, 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 might, 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.

And 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 heavens 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

the hosts of heaven bow down to You.

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

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 fulfilled Your words, for You are righteous.

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

You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, against all his servants and against all the people of his land, for You knew that they acted wickedly against them; and You made a name for Yourself, as it is 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 turbulent waters.

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

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

Then Moshe 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 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; 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 to the bottom like a stone.

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

In Your great majesty You destroy those who rise against You; You send forth Your wrath,

it consumes them like straw.

At the breath of Your nostrils the waters piled up, the flowing waters stood erect 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 praise, performing wonders?

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

With Your kindness You led the people You redeemed; with Your strength You guided them to Your holy abode.

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

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

May fear and dread fall upon them; by the great might of Your arm may they be still as a stone, until Your people pass over, L‑rd, until this people You have acquired pass over.

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

The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever.

The L‑rd shall reign forever and ever.

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

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

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

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

The L‑rd shall be King over the whole 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, Ruler of all creatures, who takes pleasure in songs of praise; the only King, the Life of the worlds. (Amen)
