Psalm 111
–
“Haleluyah!
I will praise the
Lord with my whole heart;
In the assembly
of the upright, and in the congregation.
Great are the works
of the Lord,
**______ to all
those that seek them.
Honorable and glorious
is his action
And His righteousness
endures forever.
He has made a reminder
of His wonders.
Gracious and compassionate
is the Lord.
Meat He has given
to those that fear Him.
He will forever
remember His covenant.
The might of His
works He has shown to His people,
To give them the
heritage of the nations.
The works of is
hands are truth and justice.
Sure are all of
His commandments.
Done in truth and
uprightness,
Established for
ever and ever.
***Redemption He
sent to His people
He has commanded His covenant forever
Holy and awesome
is His name.
The beginning of
wisdom is the fear of the Lord.
A good understanding
have all they that do His commandments
His praise stands
forever.
Psalm 112 –
“Haleluyah!
Happy is the man
who fears the Lord,
**Who delights greatly
in His commandments.
Mighty upon the
earth shall his seed be.
The generation of
the upright shall be blessed.
Wealth and riches
shall be in his house,
And his righteousness
stands forever.
In the darkness
rises a light unto the upright.
He is gracious,
and full of compassion, and righteous.
Good is the man
who shows favor, and lends.
He will guide his
affairs with judgement,
For He shall not
be moved forever.
For an everlasting
reminder shall the righteous be.
From evil tidings
he shall not be afraid
Fixed is his heart,
trusting in the Lord.
Established is his
heart, he shall not be afraid,
*Until he enemies
will see.
*He has dispersed,
given to the poor
His righteousness
endures forever
His horn shall be
exalted with honor.
The wicked shall
see, and be angered
His teeth he shall
gnash, and he shall melt away.
The desire of the
wicked shall be lost.”
Psalm 113 -
“Haleluyah!
Praise, servants
of the Lord.
Praise the name
of the Lord.
Let the name of
the Lord be blessed
From now until forever.
From the rising
of the sun to its coming in.
Praised is the name
of the Lord.
High above all nations
is The Lord.
On the heavens is
His glory.
Who is like the
Lord our God
*who dells on high.
Who humbles himself
to behold what is in heaven and in the earth!
He raises up the
poor out of the dust,
From the dunghill
He lifts the needy;
That he may sit
them with princes,
Even with the princes
of his people.
He makes the barren
woman to keep house,
To be a joyful mother
of children.
Haleluyah!
Kaddish
May it be magnified
and may it be sanctified
His great name,
in the world whose
creation He willed.
May His kingdom
be fulfilled
in your life
and in your days
and in the life
of the whole House of Israel,
soon and near in
time,
and say, Amen!
May His great name
be praised
forever, and ever
and ever!
May it be praised
and may it be blessed
and may it be glorified
and may it be upraised
and may it be elevated,
may it be honored
and may it be exalted
and may it be extolled,
the name of the
Holy One - praised be He!
Beyond all words-of-praise,
words-of-song,
words-of-blessing,
and words-of-comfort
that are uttered
in this world,
and say, Amen!
May there be abundant
peace from Heaven
and life
for us and for all
Israel,
and say, Amen!
Maker of peace in
the abode-on-high,
may He make peace
for us and for all
Israel,
and say, Amen!

has breath praise the
Lord. Haleluyah!”

A love song: “We
have time, under
the sky. For
now, we are still here.”
Mizmor L’David
– Psalm 29
“A psalm of
David: Give unto the Lord, O ye mighty; give unto the Lord glory and strength.
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto His Name; worship the Lord in the
beauty of holiness. The voice of the Lord is upon the waters. The
God of glory thunders; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; yea the Lord breaks the cedars
of Lebanon. He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion
like a young unicorn. The voice of the Lord divides the flames of
fire. The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes
the wilderness of Kadesh. The voice of the Lord makes the hinds to
calve, and discovers the forests; and in His temple does everyone speak
of His glory. The Lord sits upon the flood; yea, the Lord sits king
forever. The Lord will give strength unto His people; The Lord will bless
His people with peace.”
El Eretz Tzvi
A song of
the Entebbe rescue:
"…To the land
of deer
To the honey
of her fields
To the Carmel
and to the desert…"
Lamnatzeach
– Psalm 8
“…When I behold
Your heavens…the
moon and the
stars which You have
ordained;
what is man, that You are
mindful of
him?…Yet You have made
him a little
lower than the angels, and
You crown
him with glory and honor…”
Keren Or
“Light a white
candle in the black tent
of my heart.
All around us, let the
light shine.”
Na’ar Hayiti
“I was once
a young boy, and I
have grown
old, but never have I
seen a righteous
man abandoned.”
Hora
“A train still
crosses a green orchard
there, a stork
still soars above.
And the fog
still hangs in the valley
Between the
sunrise and the dew."
