Siddur Part 3 Barukh She-amar


The following section (until "YishtabaHh")
is to be said only when praying at home before sunrise.

Appreciated! Who spoke and the world came to be,
the appreciated One!
Appreciated! Who says and does!
Appreciated! Who decrees and fulfills;
Appreciated! Who has compassion upon the earth!
Appreciated! Who has compassion upon the creatures;
Appreciated! Who causes darkness to pass and brings light,
Appreciated! Who pays good reward to the reverent ones.
Appreciated! Before whom there is no wrong, nor forgetting,
no falsehood nor deceit, no favoritism nor bribery.
Appreciated eternal living God, existing perpetually.
Appreciated! You are the Sacred One our God, Ruler of all existence,
God extolled in the mouths of the people,
praised and glorified by the tongue of the pious ones and servants;
and by the songs of Dawid son of Yishai Your servant, Your anointed,
we will extoll You Sacred One our God with praise and song,
we acknowledge, praise, glorify, proclaim,
mention the idea of You, our Ruler our unified God.
Singular, Life of the worlds,
praised and glorified is the idea of the One forever eternally.
Appreciated! You are the Sacred One,
the ruler who is extolled in praises.

On Shabboth and Yom HaKippurim
some also have the custom to recite Psalm 92.

On Shabboth, some have the custom to recite
“The Great Hallel” and some to recite “Songs of Uplifting”.


Psalm 92
A psalm, a song for the day of Shabbath.
It is good to give thanks to the Sacred One,
and to sing praises to the idea of You, the Most High!
To declare your kindness in the morning,
and Your faithfulness every night,
Upon an instrument with ten strings,
and upon the lyre, to the melody of the harp.
For You, Sacred One, have made me glad through Your work -
at Your handiwork I will sing with joy.
How great are your works, Sacred One!
So very deep are Your thoughts!
A boor does not know; nor can a fool understand this.
When the wicked spring up like grass,
and all the doers of evil flourish -
it will be that they are forever destroyed.
But you, Sacred One, are exalted forever.
For behold, your enemies Sacred One,
for behold, your enemies will perish -
all those who do evil will be scattered.
But you will raise my pride like the horned creature -
I will be anointed with fresh oil.
My eye has seen the downfall of my enemies,
and my ears have heard the doom
of the wicked who rise up against me.
The righteous will flourish like the palm tree -
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
Those that are planted in the house of the Sacred One
will flourish in the courts of our God.
They will still be fruitful in old age; they will be vigorous and fresh;
To declare that the Sacred One is just -
my stronghold, in Whom there is no wrong.

Psalm 136 - “The Great Hallel”
Give thanks to the Sacred One who is so good -
Whose kindness is forever!
Give thanks to the God of all powers -
Whose kindness is forever!
Give thanks to the Master of masters -
Whose kindness is forever!
For working great wonders alone -
Whose kindness is forever!
For making the heavens by understanding -
Whose kindness is forever!
For stretching out the earth above the waters -
Whose kindness is forever!
For making great luminaries -
Whose kindness is forever;
The sun to rule by day -
Whose kindness is forever;
The moon and the stars to rule by night -
Whose kindness is forever!
For striking Misrayim through their firstborn -
Whose kindness is forever;
And bringing out Yisrael from among them -
Whose kindness is forever;
With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm -
Whose kindness is forever!
For parting the Reed Sea -
Whose kindness is forever;
And made Yisrael pass through its midst -
Whose kindness is forever;
And threw Pharaoh and his army in the Reed Sea -
Whose kindness is forever;
For leading its people through the wilderness -
Whose kindness is forever;
For striking great kings -
Whose kindness is forever;
And slew mighty kings -
Whose kindness is forever;
SiHon king of the Amorites -
Whose kindness is forever;
And Og the king of Bashan -
Whose kindness is forever;
And gave their land for a heritage -
Whose kindness is forever;
A heritage to Yisrael its servant -
Whose kindness is forever!
Who remembered us in our lowliness -
Whose kindness is forever;
And has redeemed us from our enemies -
Whose kindness is forever!
Who gives nourishment to all flesh -
Whose kindness is forever!
Give thanks to the God of heaven -
Whose kindness is forever!
