Hallel Psalms

 Psalms 113
1⁠ Praise ADONAI! Praise, you servants of ADONAI, Praise the name of ADONAI. 2⁠ Blessed be the name of ADONAI, From this time forth and forevermore. 3⁠ From the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, ADONAI’s name is to be praised. 4⁠ ADONAI is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens. 5⁠ Who is like ADONAI, our Elohim, Who has his seat on high, 6⁠ Who stoops down to see in heaven and in the eretz? 7⁠ He raises up the poor out of the dust. Lifts up the needy from the ash heap; 8⁠ That he may set him with princes, Even with the princes of his people. 9⁠ He settles the barren woman in her home, As a joyful mother of children. Praise ADONAI!
Psalms 114
1⁠ When Yisra’el went forth out of Mitzrayim, The house of Ya`akov from a people of foreign language; 2⁠ Yehudah became his sanctuary, Yisra’el his dominion. 3⁠ The sea saw it, and fled. The Yarden was driven back. 4⁠ The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs. 5⁠ What was it, you sea, that you fled? You Yarden, that you turned back? 6⁠ You mountains, that you skipped like rams; You little hills, like lambs? 7⁠ Tremble, you eretz, at the presence of Adonai, At the presence of Elohim of Ya`akov, 8⁠ Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a spring of waters.
Psalms 115
1⁠ Not to us, ADONAI, not to us, But to your name give glory, For your lovingkindness, and for your truth’s sake. 2⁠ Why should the nations say, “Where is their Elohim, now?” 3⁠ But our Elohim is in the heavens. He does whatever he pleases. 4⁠ Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. 5⁠ They have mouths, but they don’t speak; They have eyes, but they don’t see; 6⁠ They have ears, but they don’t hear; They have noses, but they don’t smell; 7⁠ They have hands, but they don’t feel; They have feet, but they don’t walk; Neither do they speak through their throat. 8⁠ Those who make them will be like them; Yes, everyone who trusts in them. 9⁠ Yisra’el, trust in ADONAI! He is their help and their shield. 10⁠ House of Aharon, trust in ADONAI! He is their help and their shield. 11⁠ You who fear ADONAI, trust in ADONAI! He is their help and their shield. 12⁠ ADONAI remembers us. He will bless us. He will bless the house of Yisra’el. He will bless the house of Aharon. 13⁠ He will bless those who fear ADONAI, Both small and great. 14⁠ May ADONAI increase you more and more, You and your children. 15⁠ Blessed are you by ADONAI, Who made heaven and eretz. 16⁠ The heavens are the heavens of ADONAI; But the eretz has he given to the children of men. 17⁠ The dead don’t praise ADONAI, Neither any who go down into silence; 18⁠ But we will bless ADONAI, From this time forth and forevermore. Praise ADONAI!
Psalms 116
1⁠ I love ADONAI, because he listens to my voice, And my cries for mercy. 2⁠ Because he has turned his ear to me, Therefore I will call on him as long as I live. 3⁠ The cords of death surrounded me, The pains of She’ol got a hold on me. I found trouble and sorrow. 4⁠ Then called I on the name of ADONAI: “ADONAI, I beg you, deliver my soul.” 5⁠ Gracious is ADONAI, and righteous; Yes, our Elohim is merciful. 6⁠ ADONAI preserves the simple. I was brought low, and he saved me. 7⁠ Return to your rest, my soul, For ADONAI has dealt bountifully with you. 8⁠ For you have delivered my soul from death, My eyes from tears, And my feet from falling. 9⁠ I will walk before ADONAI in the land of the living. 10⁠ I believed, therefore I said, “I was greatly afflicted.” 11⁠ I said in my haste, “All men are liars.” 12⁠ What will I give to ADONAI for all his benefits toward me? 13⁠ I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of ADONAI. 14⁠ I will pay my vows to ADONAI, Yes, in the presence of all his people. 15⁠ Precious in the sight of ADONAI is the death of his holy ones. 16⁠ ADONAI, truly I am your servant. I am your servant, the son of your handmaid. You have freed me from my chains. 17⁠ I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving, And will call on the name of ADONAI. 18⁠ I will pay my vows to ADONAI, Yes, in the presence of all his people, 19⁠ In the courts of the ADONAI’s house, In the midst of you, Yerushalayim. Praise the ADONAI!
Psalms 117
1⁠ Praise ADONAI, all you nations! Extol him, all you peoples! 2⁠ For his lovingkindness is great toward us. ADONAI’s faithfulness endures forever. Praise ADONAI!
Psalms 118
1⁠ Give thanks to ADONAI, for he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever. 2⁠ Let Yisra’el now say That his lovingkindness endures forever. 3⁠ Let the house of Aharon now say That his lovingkindness endures forever. 4⁠ Now let those who fear ADONAI say That his lovingkindness endures forever. 5⁠ Out of my distress, I called on ADONAI. ADONAI answered me with freedom. 6⁠ ADONAI is on my side. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? 7⁠ ADONAI is on my side among those who help me. Therefore I will look in triumph at those who hate me. 8⁠ It is better to take refuge in ADONAI, Than to put confidence in man. 9⁠ It is better to take refuge in ADONAI, Than to put confidence in princes. 10⁠ All the nations surrounded me, But in the name of ADONAI, I cut them off. 11⁠ They surrounded me, yes, they surrounded me. In the name of ADONAI I indeed cut them off. 12⁠ They surrounded me like bees. They are quenched like the burning thorns. In the name of ADONAI I cut them off. 13⁠ You pushed me back hard, to make me fall, But ADONAI helped me. 14⁠ ADONAI is my strength and song. He has become my yeshu`ah. 15⁠ The voice of rejoicing and yeshu`ah is in the tents of the righteous. “The right hand of ADONAI does valiantly. 16⁠ The right hand of ADONAI is exalted! The right hand of ADONAI does valiantly!” 17⁠ I will not die, but live, And declare ADONAI’s works. 18⁠ ADONAI has punished me severely, But he has not given me over to death. 19⁠ Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to ADONAI. 20⁠ This is the gate of ADONAI; The righteous will enter into it. 21⁠ I will give thanks to you, for you have answered me, And have become my yeshu`ah. 22⁠ The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner. 23⁠ This is the ADONAI’s doing. It is marvelous in our eyes. 24⁠ This is the day that ADONAI has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it! 25⁠ Save us now, we beg you, ADONAI; ADONAI, we beg you, now send prosperity. 26⁠ Blessed is he who comes in the name of ADONAI! We have blessed you out of the house of ADONAI. 27⁠ ADONAI is Elohim, and he has given us light. Bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar. 28⁠ You are my Elohim, and I will give thanks to you. You are my Elohim, I will exalt you. 29⁠ Oh give thanks to ADONAI, for he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever.

(A time of congregational worship and praise)

Numbers 28:1-15
1⁠ ADONAI spoke to Moshe, saying, 2⁠ Command the children of Yisra’el, and tell them, My offering, my food for my offerings made by fire, of a sweet savor to me, shall you observe to offer to me in their due season. 3⁠ You shall tell them, This is the offering made by fire which you shall offer to the LORD: he-lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering. 4⁠ The one lamb shall you offer in the morning, and the other lamb shall you offer at even; 5⁠ and the tenth part of an efah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mixed with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. 6⁠ It is a continual burnt offering, which was ordained in Mount Sinai for a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to ADONAI. 7⁠ The drink-offering of it shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shall you pour out a drink-offering of strong drink to ADONAI. 8⁠ The other lamb shall you offer at even: as the meal-offering of the morning, and as the drink-offering of it, you shall offer it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to ADONAI. 9⁠ On the day of Shabbat two he-lambs a year old without blemish, and two tenth parts [of an efah] of fine flour for a meal-offering, mixed with oil, and the drink-offering of it: 10⁠ this is the burnt offering of every Shabbat, besides the continual burnt-offering, and the drink-offering of it. 11⁠ In the beginnings of your months you shall offer a burnt offering to ADONAI : two young bulls, and one ram, seven he-lambs a year old without blemish; 12⁠ and three tenth parts [of an efah] of fine flour for a meal-offering, mixed with oil, for each bull; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal-offering, mixed with oil, for the one ram; 13⁠ and a tenth part of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal-offering to every lamb; for a burnt offering of a sweet savor, an offering made by fire to ADONAI. 14⁠ Their drink-offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb: this is the burnt offering of every month throughout the months of the year. 15⁠ One male goat for a sin-offering to ADONAI; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering, and the drink-offering of it.

Matthew 6:9-13
9⁠ Pray like this: ‘Our Father-Avinu who is in heaven, may your name be sanctified. 10⁠ May your kingdom come. May your will be done, as it in heaven, so shall it be on eretz. 11⁠ Give us this day our daily portion of bread. 12⁠ Forgive us our debts (sins), as we also forgive our debtors (who have sinned against us). 13⁠ Do not allow us to be lead into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom, the power and the beauty forever into the ages. Amein.’ 14⁠ “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.

Mark 11:25
Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father, who is in heaven, may also forgive you your transgressions.

Shemoneh Esrei
(While praying, concentrate on the meaning of the words and remember that you stand before the Divine Presence. Before beginning the Amidah, take three steps back, then three steps forward. Recite the Amidah quietly — but audibly to yourself — while standing with feet together.)

A-do-nai s’fa-tai tif-tach, u-fi ya-gid t’hi-la-te-cha.
Eternal Adonai, open my lips, that my mouth may declare your glory

Bend Knees at “Blessed”; bow are “You”; Straighten at “L-rd our G‑d”:

Blessed are You, Adonai our Elohei and Elohei of our fathers, Elohei of Avraham, Elohei of Isaav and Elohei of Yakov, the great, mighty and awesome Elohim, exalted Elohim, 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.

[Bend Knees at "Blessed"; bow are "You"; Straighten at "L-rd-Adonai our G‑d-Elohim"]:

O King-Malkeinu, (You are) a helper, a savior and a shield. Blessed are You ADONAi, Shield of Abraham.

You are mighty forever, my Adon; You resurrect the dead; You are powerful to save.

In summer say: He causes the dew to descend. In winter say: He causes the wind to blow and the rain to fall.

He sustains the living with loving kindness, resurrects the dead with great mercy, supports the falling, heals the sick, releases the bound, and fulfills His trust to those who sleep in the dust. Who is like You, mighty One! And who can be compared to You, King, who brings death and restores life, and causes deliverance to spring forth!

You are trustworthy to revive the dead. Blessed are You Adonai, who revives the dead

You are holy and Your Name is holy, and holy beings praise You daily for all eternity. Blessed are You Adonai, the holy Elohim.

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

Cause us to return, our Father-Avinu, to Your Torah; draw us near, our King-Malkeinu, to Your service; and bring us back to You in whole-hearted repentance. Blessed are You L-rd, who desires penitence.

Pardon us, our Father-Avinu, for we have sinned; forgive us, our King, for we have transgressed; for You are a good and forgiving Elohim. Blessed are You Adonai, gracious One who pardons abundantly.

O behold our affliction and wage our battle; redeem us speedily for the sake of Your Name, for You Elohim are the mighty redeemer. Blessed are You Adonai, Redeemer of Israel.

Heal us, O Adonai, 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, Almighty King, are a faithful and merciful healer. Blessed are You L-rd, who heals the sick of His people Israel.

Bless for us, Adonai our Eloheinu, this year and all the varieties of its produce for good; and bestow (During the summer season say:) blessing (During the winter season say: dew and rain for blessing) upon the face of the earth. Satisfy us from Your bounty and bless our year like other good years, for blessing; for You are a generous Elohim who bestows goodness and blesses the years. Blessed are You Adonai, who blesses the years.

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

Restore our judges as in former times, and our counselors as of yore; remove from us sorrow and sighing, and reign over us, You alone, O Adonai, with kindness and compassion, with righteousness and justice. Blessed are You Adonai, 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 extirpated; and may You swiftly uproot, break, crush and subdue the reign of wickedness speedily in our days. Blessed are You Adonai, who crushes enemies and subdues the wicked.

May Your mercies be aroused, Adonai our Eloheinu , 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 proselytes and upon us. Grant ample reward to all who truly trust in Your Name, and place our lot among them; may we never be disgraced, for we have put our trust in You. Blessed are You Adonai, 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 Adonai, who rebuilds Jerusalem. Speedily cause the scion of David Your servant to flourish, and increase his power by Your salvation, for we hope for Your salvation all day. Blessed are You Adonai, who causes the power of salvation to flourish.

Hear our voice, Adonai our Eloheinu; merciful Father, have compassion upon us and accept our prayers in mercy and favor, for You are Elohim who hears prayers and supplications; do not turn us away empty-handed from You, our King-Malkeinu, for You hear the prayer of everyone. Blessed are You Adonai, who hears prayer.

Look with favor, Adonai our Eloheinu, on Your people Israel and pay heed to their prayer; restore the service to Your Sanctuary and accept with love and favor Israel’s fire-offerings and prayer; and may the service of Your people Israel always find favor.

Our Elohim and Elohei of our fathers, may there ascend, come and reach, be seen, accepted, and heard, recalled and remembered before You, the remembrance and recollection of us, the remembrance of our fathers, the remembrance of Mashiach the son of David Your servant, the remembrance of Jerusalem Your holy city, and the remembrance of all Your people the House of Israel, for deliverance, well-being, grace, kindness, mercy, good life and peace, on this day of

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

We thankfully acknowledge that You are Adonai our Eloheinu and Elohei 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, evening, morning and noon, 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 continual wonders and beneficences. 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-Malkeinu, 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. Elohim, You are our everlasting salvation and help, O benevolent Elohim Blessed are You Adonai, 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, Adonai our Eloheinu, the Torah of life and loving-kindness, righteousness, blessing, mercy, life and peace. May it be favorable in Your eyes to bless Your people Israel, at all times and at every moment, with Your peace.

Blessed are You Adonai, 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 Elohim, guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking deceitfully. Let my soul be silent to those who curse me; let my soul be as dust to all. Open my heart to Your Torah, and let my soul eagerly pursue Your commandments. As for all those who plot evil against me, hasten to annul their counsel and frustrate their design. Let them be as chaff before the wind; let the Angel of the Adonai 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, Adonai, my Strength and my Redeemer.

[Before reciting the following verse one should bow, and in this bowed position, take three steps backward. While still bowing, he should turn his head to his left saying, "He who makes peace in His heavens"; bow forward, saying, "may He"; turn his head to his right, saying, "make peace for us"; and finally bow forward, saying, "and for all Israel; and say, Amen"].

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, Adonai our Elohim and Elohei of our fathers, that the Bet Hamikdash be speedily rebuilt in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah.

Matthew 5:3-15
3⁠ “Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 4⁠ Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted. 5⁠ Blessed are the humble, For they shall inherit the eretz. 6⁠ Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, For they shall be filled. 7⁠ Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy. 8⁠ Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. 9⁠ Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God. 10⁠ Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. 11⁠ “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12⁠ Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you. 13⁠ “You are the salt of the eretz, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men. 14⁠ You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill can’t be hidden. 15⁠ Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.

Psalm 104
1⁠ Bless ADONAi, my soul. ADONAi, my Elohim, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty. 2⁠ He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain. 3⁠ He lays the beams of his chambers in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind. 4⁠ He makes his messengers winds; His servants flames of fire. 5⁠ He laid the foundations of the eretz, That it should not be moved forever. 6⁠ You covered it with the deep as with a cloak. The waters stood above the mountains. 7⁠ At your rebuke they fled. At the voice of your thunder they hurried away. 8⁠ The mountains rose, The valleys sank down, To the place which you had assigned to them. 9⁠ You have set a boundary that they may not pass over; That they don’t turn again to cover the eretz. 10⁠ He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains. 11⁠ They give drink to every animal of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst. 12⁠ The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches. 13⁠ He waters the mountains from his chambers. The eretz is filled with the fruit of your works. 14⁠ He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And plants for man to cultivate, That he may bring forth food out of the eretz: 15⁠ Wine that makes glad the heart of man, Oil to make his face to shine, And bread that strengthens man’s heart. 16⁠ ADONAi’s trees are well watered, The cedars of Levanon, which he has planted; 17⁠ Where the birds make their nests. The stork makes its home in the fir trees. 18⁠ The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers. 19⁠ He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows when to set. 20⁠ You make darkness, and it is night, In which all the animals of the forest prowl. 21⁠ The young lions roar after their prey, And seek their food from Elohim. 22⁠ The sun rises, and they steal away, And lay down in their dens. 23⁠ Man goes forth to his work, To his labor until the evening. 24⁠ ADONAi, how many are your works! In wisdom have you made them all. The eretz is full of your riches. 25⁠ There is the sea, great and wide, In which are innumerable living things, Both small and great animals. 26⁠ There the ships go, And livyatan, whom you formed to play there. 27⁠ These all wait for you, That you may give them their food in due season. 28⁠ You give to them; they gather. You open your hand; they are satisfied with good. 29⁠ You hide your face: they are troubled; You take away their breath: they die, and return to the dust. 30⁠ You send forth your Spirit: they are created. You renew the face of the ground. 31⁠ Let the glory of ADONAi endure forever. Let ADONAi rejoice in his works. 32⁠ He looks at the eretz, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke. 33⁠ I will sing to ADONAi as long as I live. I will sing praise to my Elohim while I have any being. 34⁠ Let your meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in ADONAi. 35⁠ Let sinners be consumed out of the eretz. Let the wicked be no more. Bless ADONAi, my soul. Praise ADONAi!
