Praise Hashem.

Halelu Shem Hashem;

Halelu, O ye avadim of Hashem.Psa 113:1

Ye that stand ministering in the Beis Hashem,

in the khatzerot Beis Eloheinu.

Praise Hashem;

for Hashem is tov; sing praise unto Shmo; for it is na'im (lovely, pleasing).Psa 136:1

For Hashem hath chosen Ya'akov unto Himself,

and Yisroel for His segullah (peculiar treasure).Deu 7:6; 1Pe 2:9; Tit 2:14

For I know that Hashem is gadol,

and that Adoneinu is above kol elohim.

Whatsoever Hashem pleases, that He does

in Shomayim, and in HaAretz,

in HaYam, and kol tehomot.Psa 115:3; Dan 4:32

He causeth the clouds to ascend at the end of HaAretz;

He maketh lightning for the matar (rain);

He bringeth the ruach out of His otzarot.Jer 10:13; Jer 14:22

Who struck down the Bechorei Mitzrayim,

both of adam and behemah.Exo 12:29; Psa 78:51

Who sent otot and mofetim into the midst of thee, O Mitzrayim,

upon Pharaoh, and upon all his avadim.

Who struck down Goyim rabbim,

and slaughtered melachim atzumim (powerful kings);Num 21:21

Sichon Melech HaEmori,

and Og Melech HaBashan,

and all the mamlechot Kena'an;Jos 12:7

And gave their land for a nachalah,

an inheritance unto Yisroel Amo (His people).

Thy Shem, Hashem, endureth l'olam;

and Thy remembrance, Hashem, l'dor vador.

For Hashem will vindicate His people;

He will have compassion on His avadim.

The idols of the Goyim are kesef and zahav,

the ma'aseh yedei adam.Psa 115:4

They have mouths, but they speak not;

einayim have they, but they see not;

They have oznayim, but they hear not;

neither is there any ruach in their mouths.

They that oseihem (make them) will be like them;

so is every one that trusteth in them.Isa 42:17

Barakhu Hashem, O Bais Yisroel;

barakhu Hashem, O Bais Aharon;

Barakhu Hashem, O Bais HaLevi;

ye that fear Hashem, barakhu Hashem.

Baruch Hashem out of Tziyon,

which dwelleth at Yerushalayim.
