Blessed are You, LORD our God, King of the Universe, God, compassionate Father, extolled by the mouth of His people, praised and glorified by the tongue of His devoted ones and those who serve Him. With the songs of Your servant David we will praise You, O LORD our God. With praises and psalms we will magnify and praise You, glorify You, proclaim Your kingship and speak Your name, our King, our God, the only One, Giver of life to the worlds, the King whose great name is praised and glorified to all eternity. Blessed are You, LORD, the King extolled with songs of praise.
The following psalm recalls the thanksgiving-offering in Temple times. It is not said on Erev Pesah, on Hol HaMo’ed Pesah, or Erev Yom Kippur since no thanksgiving-offerings were brought on these days. To emphasize its sacrificial nature, the custom is to say it standing.
A psalm of thanksgiving. Shout joyously to the LORD, all the earth. Serve the LORD with joy. Come before Him with jubilation. Know that the LORD is God. He made us and we are His. We are His people and the flock He tends. Enter His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise. Thank Him and bless His name. For the LORD is good, His loving-kindness is everlasting, and His faithfulness is for every generation.
