Pesukei DeZimra

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. Vw wat A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to thank Ps. 9 the LORD and sing psalms to Your name, Most High - to tell of Your loving-kindness in the morning and Your faithfulness at night, to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. For You have made me rejoice by Your work, O Lor»; I sing for joy at the deeds of Your hands. How great are Your deeds, LORD, and how very deep Your thoughts. A boor cannot know, nor can a fool understand, that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, it is only that they may be destroyed for ever. But You, LORD, are eter- nally exalted. For behold Your enemies, LORD, behold Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered. You have raised my pride | like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil. My eyes shall look | in triumph on my adversaries, my ears shall hear the downfall of the | wicked who rise against me. > The righteous will flourish like a palm | tree and grow tall like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the LORD's | House, blossoming in our God's courtyards, they will still bear fruit in old age, and stay vigorous and fresh, proclaiming that the LORD is upright: He is my Rock, in whom there is no wrong.
