LEHU NERANENA

Come, let us sing to the Lord.Let us acclaim the Rock of our help.

Let us draw near to God with thankfulness;Let us acclaim God with songs of praise.

For the Lord is a great God,A Sovereign exalted above all gods.

In God's hand are the depths of the earth:God's, too, are the heights of the mountains.

The sea is God's, who made it,Whose hands formed the dry land.

Come, let us worship and bow down,Let us bend the knee before the Lord, our Maker.

For Adonai is our God and we are God's people;We are the sheep God lovingly sustains.

O that today you would obey Me,And not harden your hearts as in the wilderness,

When your ancestors repeatedly doubted Me,Even though they had witnessed My great deeds.

Forty years that generation wearied Me,Questioning and misunderstanding My ways.

Therefore I vowed in My anger,That they shall not enter the Promised Land.

Psalm 95

LET THE HEAVENS REJOICE

Sing unto the Lord a new song,Sing unto the Lord, all the earth.

Sing unto the Lord; praise God's name;Make known God's salvation day by day.

Declare God's glory among the nations;Proclaim God's wonders among all the peoples.

For great is the Lord, greatly to be praised,And alone to be revered as God.

The gods of the heathens are worthless;But the Lord made the heavens.

Splendor and majesty are before God,Strength and beauty are in God's sanctuary.

Ascribe to the Lord, O families of nations,Ascribe to the Lord glory and might.

Render to God the honor due God!Come into God's courts with a gift-offering.

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;Stand in awe of the Lord, all the world.

Declare among the nations: "The Lord reigns!The world is set firm; God's justice prevails."

Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad;Let the sea and all within it roar praise.

Let the field and all within it exult;Let the trees of the forest break into song.

For God comes to judge the world in righteousness,To judge the nations by Divine truth.

LECHA DODI

Come, my friend, the Bride to meet.The holy Shabbat let us now greet.

"Keep" and "Remember" in one divine work,Our people at Sinai God's command heard.Our God is one; and One is God's name,God's is the glory! God's is the fame!

To greet Shabbat now let us go.Source of blessings, it has ever been so.Conceived before life on earth began,Last in God's work, first in God's plan.

Yerushalayim, shrine of our King,Arise from your ruins, arise and sing.Enough have you dwelled in the vale of tears,Your God will mercifully dispel your fears.

Shake off your dust, arise from the mire;Dress, my people, in your proudest attire.Through a descendant of David, the poet-king,Redemption and freedon God will bring.

Arise, arise, for your light has come,The dawn has broken, the night is gone.Awake, awake, and joyously sing:Heavenly glory to you God did bring.

Be not ashamed, be not distressed,No longer bowed down like a city oppressed.In you shall your children's hopes be fulfilled;Out of your ashes you will again be rebuilt.

They who despoiled you will themselves be despoiled,Your foes will be routed, their plots will be foiled.In you will your GOD find joy and pride,Loving you as a bridegroom loves his bride.

In every way may you prosper and grow;Reverence for God may you ever know.May you see the redemption that God will bring;Songs of thanksgiving to God may you sing.

Come now, Shabbat, the day divine,Come in joy, let your brightness shine.Come to the people which greets you with pride,Come in peace, Shabbat bride.

THE SHABBAT PSALM

It is good to thak You, O Lord,To sing praises to Your name,

To proclaim Your love every morning,And Your faithfulness every night.

To the sound of the ten-string lyre,With the music of the lute and harp.

Your works, O lord, bring me gladness;Of Your deeds, I joyously sing.

How great are Your deeds, O Lord;How profound are Your designs.

The superficial cannot comprehend,The foolish cannot grasp this:

Though the wicked may thrive like grass,And doers of evil seem to flourish,

Yet their doom is sure to come,For Yours is the ultimate triumph.

Those who oppose You shall be destroyed;Workers of evil are sure to be routed.

You have given me extraordinary power;I am like one who has been anointed.

I see the defeat of my foes,I hear the doom of my enemies.

The good will grow strong like the palm tree,They will thrive like the cedar of Lebanon.

Planted in the house of the Lord,They will flourish in the courts of our God.

They will yield fruit even in old age,They will remain vital and vigorous,

Proclaiming that the Lord is just,My Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.

Psalm 92

KEEP THESE WORDS

If you will faithfully obey the commandments which I command you this

day, to love the Lord your God and to serve the Lord with all your heart

and all your soul, then I will favor your land with rain at the proper

season, in autumn and in spring; and you will harvest your grain and wine

and oil. I will give grass in the fields for your cattle. You will eat and be

satisfied.

Take care not to be lured away to worship other gods. For then

the wrath of the Lord will be directed against you: The heavens will close

and there will be no rain; the earth will not yield its produce; and you will

soon perish from the good land which the Lord gave you.

Therefore, keep these words of Mine in your heart and in your

soul. Bind them as a sign upon your arm, and let them be a reminder

above your eyes. Teach them to your children, speaking of them when

you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down at night and

when you rise up in the morning. Write them upon the doorposts of your

homes and upon your gates. Thus your days and the days of your

children will be multiplied on the land which the Lord promised to your

ancestors for as long as the heavens remain over the earth.Deuteronomy 11:13-21

Do not be like servants who serve their master for the sake of receiving a

reward; be rather like servants who devotedly serve their master with no

thought of a reward; and may the awe of God be upon you. (Pirkey Avot 1:3)

The main purpose of the Mitzvot performed through physical action is to

make us sensitive to those Mitzvot performed with the heart and mind,

which are the pillars of the service of God. (Bachya)

If you think of reward, you think of yourself, not God. (Salanter)

The reward for a good deed is another good deed; and the penalty for atransgression is another transgression. (Pirkey Avot 4:2)

TO SEE, TO REMEMBER, AND TO OBSERVE!

The Lord said to Moses: "Speak to the Children of Israel, and bid them to

make fringes in the corners of their garments throughout their

generations, putting upon the fringe of each corner a thread of blue.

"When you look upon the fringe you will be reminded of all the

commandments of the Lord and obey them. You will not be led astray by

the inclination of your heart or by the attraction of your eyes.

"Thus will you be reminded to fulfill all My commandments and

be consecrated in your God. I am the Lord your God who brought you

out of the land of Egypt to be your God. I, the Lord, am your God."Numbers 15:37-41

EMET VE-EMUNAH: God our Redeemer*

True and certain it is that there is One God,And there is none like our Lord.

It is God who redeemed us from the might of tyrants,And delivered us from slavery to freedom.

Great are the things that God has done;God's wonders are without number.

God brought forth Israel from Egyptian bondage,And has been our hope in every generation.

May You continue Your protecting care over Israel, O Lord,And guard all Your children from disaster.

When the Children of Israel beheld Your might,They gave thanks to You and praised Your name.

They accepted Your sovereignty willinglyAnd sang a song to You.

Moses and the Children of IsraelProclaimed in great exultation:

"Who is like You, O Lord, among the mighty?Who is like You, glorious in holiness,Revered in praises, doing wonders?"

When You rescued Israel at the Sea,Your children beheld Your power.

"This is my God!" they exclaimed, and said:"The Lord shall reign for ever and ever!"

As You delivered Israel from a power mightier than he,So may You redeem all Your children from oppression.

Praised are You, O Lord,Redeemer of Israel.

Morris Silverman, based on the Hebrew

*Adapted from earlier editions.

HASHKIVENU: Help us to lie down in peace

I Help us, O God, to lie down in peace,And awaken us to life on the morrow.

May we always be guided by Your good counsel,And thus find shelter in Your tent of peace.

Shield us, we pray, against our foes,Against plague, destruction, and sorrow.

Strengthen us against the evil forcesWhich abound on every side.

May we always feel protectedBecause You are our merciful Sovereign.

Guard us always and everywhere;Bless us with life and peace.

Praise to You, O God of peace,Whose love is always with us,

Who shelters the people Israel,And protects Jerusalem in love.

II Grant that we lie down in peace,Secure in Your protecting love;

And shelter us throughout the night,So that we may arise tomorrow,

To face life's tasks with faith in You,Our zeal renewed and strength restored.

Save us, O our Redeemer,And guard us from all lurking foes.

Remove all sorrow, hatred, strife,And turn Your children's hearts to You.

Spread Your Tent of Peace, O Lord,Above Jerusalem, we pray,

And shield Your people Israel,Wherever they may dwell.

Praised are You, our Lord and Sovereign,Whose sheltering love spreads over us,

Sustaining all who seek Your peace,Who find their hope and strength in You.

The people of Israel shall observe the Shabbat, maintaining it throughout

their generations as an everlasting covenant. It is a sign between Me and

the people of Israel for all time; in six days the Lord made heaven and

earth, and on the seventh day ceased this work and rested.Exodus 31:16-17

GOD OF ALL GENERATIONS

Praised are You, O Lord our God and God of our ancestors, God of

Abraham, God of Isaac, and God of Jacob; God of Sarah, God of

Rebecca, God of Rachel, and God of Leah; Great, mighty, awesome God,

supreme over all. You are abundantly kind, O Creator of all.

Remembering the piety of our ancestors, you lovingly bring redemption to

their children's children.

On Shabbat Shuvah add:

Remember us for life, O Sovereign who delights in life. Inscribe us

in the book of life, for Your sake, O God of life.

You are our Sovereign who helps, redeems, and protects.

Praised are You, O Lord, Shield of Abraham and Sustainer of Sarah.

SOURCE OF LIFE AND MASTER OF NATURE

O Lord, mighty for all eternity, with Your saving power You grant

immortal life.

From Shmini Atzeret until Pesach add:

You cause the wind to blow and the rain to fall.

You sustain the living with loving kindness, and with great mercy You

bestow eternal life upon the dead. You support the falling, heal the sick,

and free the captives. You keep faith with those who sleep in the dust.

Who is like You, almighty God? Who can be compared to You, Ruler

over life and death, source of redemption?


Who is like You, compassionate God?'

Mercifully You remember Your creatures for life.

You are faithful in granting eternal life to the departed. Praised are You,

O Lord, who grants immortality to the departed.

SANTIFYING GOD'S NAME

Holy are You and hallowed is Your name, and holy ones praise You daily.

*Praised are You, O Lord, the holy God.

SANTIFYING THE SABBATH

You consecrated the seventh day as Your own, for it marked the end and

purpose of the creation of heaven and earth. You blessed it above all the

other days and hallowed it above all the festivals, as it is written in Your

Torah:

"The heavens and the earth, and all within them, were finished. By the

seventh day God had completed the work of Creation; and so God rested

from all this work. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it

because on it God ceased all the Divine work of Creation."

RETZY VI-M'NUCHATEYNU: Accept our rest, and purify our

hearts

Our God and God of our ancestors, may our Shabbat rest be acceptable

to You.

May Your Mitzvot lead us to holiness, and may we be among those

who devote themselves to Your Torah.

May we find contentment in Your blessings, and joy in Your

sustaining power.

Purify our hearts to serve You in truth, and help us to enjoy, in love

and favor, the heritage of Your holy Shabbat.

May Your people Israel, who hallow Your name, find rest on this day.

Praised are You, O Lord, who hallows the Shabbat.

*On Shabbat Shuvah conclude thus:

Praised are You, O Lord, the holy Sovereign.

ACCEPT OUR PRAYER AND BLESS ZION

Be gracious to Your people Israel, O Lord our God, and lovingly accept

their prayers. May our worship ever be acceptable to You.

On Rosh Chodesh and Chol Hamoed add:

Our God and God of our ancestors, we reacll and invoke the remembrance of

our ancestors, the piety of their prayers for Messianic deliverance, the glory of

Jerusalem, Your holy city, and the destiny of the entire household of Israel. As

we seek Your love and mercy, we pray for deliverance and for life, for

happiness and for peace, on this day of

Rosh Chodesh Pesach Sukkot.

Remember us, O Lord; bless us with all that is good. Recall Your promise of

merciful redemption; spare us, have compassion upon us, and graciously save

us. To You we lift our eyes in hope; for You, our Sovereign, are a gracious

and merciful God.

May our eyes behold Your merciful return to Zion. Praise to You, O

Lord, who restores the Divine Presence to Zion.

THANKSGIVING FOR DAILY MIRACLES

We thankfully acknowledge You, our God and God of our ancestors,

Lord of eternity. You are the source of our strength, even as You have

been Israel's protecting shield in every generation.

We thank You and proclaim Your praise for our lives which are in

Your hand, for our souls which are in Your care, for Your miracles which

are daily with us, and for Your wondrous kindness at all times - morning,

noon, and night. Source of all goodness, your mercies never fail. Source

of compassion, Your kindnesses never cease. You are our abiding hope.

GUARD MY TONGUE FROM EVIL

O Lord, guard my tongue from eviland my lips from speaking falsehood.

Help me to ignore those who speak ill of me,and to forgive those who offend against me.

Open my heart to Your Torahthat I may eagerly do Your will.

May the words of my mouthand the meditation of my heart find favor before You,my Rock and my Redeemer.

O You, who ordain harmony in the universe,grant peace to us, to Israel, and to all humanity.

Amen.

Adapted from the Hebrew

O Lord,

Guard my tongue from evil and my lips from speaking guile; and to those

who slander me, let me give no heed. May my soul be humble and

forgiving to all. Open my heart, O Lord, to Your sacred law, that Your

statutes I may know and all Your truths pursue. Frustrate the designs of

those who seek to do me ill; Speedily defeat their aims and thwart their

purposes - for the sake of Your glory and Your power, for the sake of

Your holiness and law. That Your loved ones may be delivered, O Lord,

answer me and save with Your redeeming power.

"May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be

acceptable to You, O Lord, my Rock and my redeemer." O Source of

peace and harmony in the universe, grant peace to us and to the

household of Israel.

Amen

Kiddush for Shabbat Eve

"The heavens and the earth, and all within them, were finished. By the

seventh day God had completed the work of Creation; and so God rested

from all this work. Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it

because on it God ceased all the Divine work of Creation."

Come friends.

Praised are You, Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, Creator of the fruit

of the vine.

Praised are You, Lord our God, Ruler of the universe, who has taught us

the way of holiness through the Mitzvot. Lovingly You have favored us

with the gift of Your holy Shabbat as our inheritance, a reminder of

Creation, first among the sacred days which recall the Exodus from

Egypt.

You have chosen us of all peoples for Your service, and You have given

us a sacred purpose in life. In loving favor, You have given us Your holy

Shabbat as a heritage.

Praised are You, O Lord, who hallows the Shabbat.

ALENU

Let us now praise the Lord of all,Let us acclaim the Author of creation,

Who made us unlike the pegans who surrounded us,Unlike the heathens of the ancient world,

Making our heritage different from theirs,And assigning to us a unique destiny.

We bend the knee and reverently bowBefore the supreme Sovereign,The Holy One, who is to be praised,

Who spread forth the heavens and established the earth,And whose glorious presence can be found everywhere.

The Lord is our God; there is no other.Truly, our sovereign Lord is incomparable.

As it is writen in the Torah:"This day accept, with mind and heart,

That God is the Lord of heaven and earth;There is no other."

WE HOPE FOR THE DAY

I Because we believe in You, O God,We hope for the day when Your majesty will prevail,

When all false gods will be removed,And all idolatry will be abolished;

When the world will be made a "Kingdom of God,"When all will invoke Your name,And the wicked will return to You.

May every human being be convincedThat to You every knee must bend,Every tongue must vow loyalty.

Before You may all bow in reverence,Proclaiming Your glory, accepting Your sovereignty.

May Your reign come soon and last forever;For sovereignty is Yours alone, now and evermore.

So is it written in Your Torah:"The Lord shall reign for ever and ever."

The prophet too, proclaimed this promise:"The Lord shall be Sovereign over all the earth;That day the Lord shall be One and God's name One."

II We therefore hope in You, O Lord our God, that we may soon behold the

glory of Your might, when You will remove the abominations from the

earth and when all idolatry will be abolished. We hope for the day when the

world will be perfected under the "Kingdom of the Almighty," and all

humanity will call upon Your name; when You will turn unto Yourself all the

wicked of the earth. May all the inhabitants of the world perceive and know

that unto You every knee must bend, every tongue vow loyalty. Before You,

O Lord our God, may they bow in worship, giving honor unto Your

glorious name. May they all accept the yoke of Your kingdom; and may You

rule over them speedily and forevermore. For the kingdom is Yours and to

all eternity You will reign in glory. As it is written in Your Torah: The Lord

shall reign for ever and ever. And it has been foretold: The Lord shall be

Sovereign over all the earth; on that day the Lord shall be One and God's

name One.
