1 A song of ascents: Since I was young they have often attacked me — let Isra’el repeat it — 2 since I was young they have often attacked me, but they haven’t overcome me. 3 The plowmen plowed on my back; wounding me with long furrows. 4 ButAdonaiis righteous; he cuts me free from […]

1 A song of ascents. By David: Adonai, I call to you from the depths; 2 hear my cry,Adonai! Let your ears pay attention to the sound of my pleading. 3 Yah, if you kept a record of sins, who,Adonai, could stand? 4 But with you there is forgiveness, so that you will be feared. […]

1 A song of ascents. By David: Adonai, my heart isn’t proud; I don’t set my sight too high, I don’t take part in great affairs or in wonders far beyond me. 2 No, I keep myself calm and quiet, like a little child on its mother’s lap — I keep myself like a little […]

1 A song of ascents: Come, blessAdonai, all you servants ofAdonai, who serve each night in the house ofAdonai. 2 Lift your hands toward the sanctuary, and blessAdonai. 3 MayAdonai, the maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Tziyon.

Servants ofAdonai, give praise! 2 You who stand in the house ofAdonai, in the courtyards of the house of our God, 3 praiseYah, forAdonaiis good; sing to his name, because it is pleasant. 4 ForYahchose Ya‘akov for himself, Isra’el as his own unique treasure. 5 I know […]

1 Give thanks toAdonai, for he is good, for his grace continues forever. 2 Give thanks to the God of gods, for his grace continues forever. 3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords, for his grace continues forever; 4 to him who alone has done great wonders, for his grace continues forever; 5 to […]

1 By the rivers of Bavel we sat down and wept as we remembered Tziyon. 2 We had hung up our lyres on the willows that were there, 3 when those who had taken us captive asked us to sing them a song; our tormentors demanded joy from us — “Sing us one of the […]

1 By David: I give you thanks with all my heart. Not to idols, but to you I sing praise. 2 I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your grace and truth; for you have made your word [even] greater than the whole of your reputation. 3 When […]
