Much time has passed. It has been over a year I think since I have done any translation work. I do have most of the Siddur done, however I have not prepared it for upload and it is extremely rough. If there is still interest, I could pick it up again, or forward the text to anyone who might be interested.

As for us, we know not what to do - for our eyes are upon You.

the One who lovingly selects the people of Yisrael!
'Listen, Yisrael; the Sacred One is our God –
the Sacred One is utterly singular.' (Devarim 6:4)
The idea of the glorious majesty of the One
is appreciated for all eternity.
Love the Sacred One your God with all your heart,
all your soul, and all your potential.
Keep these words which I instruct you today upon your heart.
Review them often with your children, and speak them -
when you are sitting in your house, walking on the way,
when you lie down, and when you rise.
Bind them for a sign upon your hand;
and they will be reminders between your eyes.
Write them upon the doorposts of your house and your gates.
And it will be, if you will fully heed My instructions
which I instruct you today,
to love the Sacred One your God whom you will serve;
with all your heart and with all your soul,
And I will give you the rain of your land in its due season,
the early rain and the late rain,
that you may gather in your grain, and your wine, and your oil.
And I will provide grass in your fields for your cattle;
and you will eat and be satisfied.
Guard yourselves, lest your heart be tempted,
and you turn away, and you will serve the gods of others,
and submit yourselves to them;
And the anger of the Sacred One will be kindled against you,
and the heavens will be shut, and there will be no rain,
and the ground will not give its fruit;
and you will perish quickly from upon the good land
which the Sacred One gives to you.
You will place these my words upon your heart and upon your soul,
Bind them for a sign upon your hand,
that they may be as reminders between your eyes.
Teach them to your children, to speak of them -
when you are sitting in your house, walking on the way,
when you lie down, and when you rise.
Write them upon the doorposts of your house, and your gates;
So that your days will increase, and the days of your children,
upon the land that the Sacred One swore
to your ancestors to give them,
as the days of heaven upon the earth.
And the Sacred One spoke to Moshe, saying,
Speak to the children of Yisrael, and tell them,
to make for themselves sisith
on the corners of their garments through the generations,
and to put upon the sisith of the corners a thread of tekheleth;
And they will be to you for sisith, that you will see it,
and remember all the instructions
of the Sacred One, and follow them;
and you will not follow after your heart and after your eyes,
which cause you to go astray;
So that you will remember, and follow all My instructions,
and you will be sacred to your God.
I am the Sacred One your God,
who brought you out of the land of Misrayim, to be your God;
I am the Sacred One your God.
Your compassion for us is exceedingly great.
Our parent, our Ruler: For the sake of the idea of You,
and for the sake of our ancestors who trusted in You,
and You taught them the customs of life –
so may You favor us, our compassionate parent.
The One who shows mercy – please have mercy upon us,
and place in our hearts the inclination to discern, to conceptualize,
to listen, to study, to teach,
to keep, to perform, and to actualize
all the studied words of Your Tora with love.
Enlighten our eyes with Your instructions
and make our hearts cleave to the awe of You,
and unify our hearts to love the idea of You.
You alone will quickly rule over us,
for we are truly called by the sacred idea of You;
and for the sake of the idea of You –
the kind, the mighty, the awesome God –
quickly in love raise our glory
and save us for the sake of the idea of You.
Unembarrassed, we trust in You;
unashamed, we seek refuge in the idea of You,
and we will never falter –
for You are our parent and our Ruler,
and we rejoice and are happy with Your salvation.
Do not remove Your mercies and kindnesses from us,
Sacred One, our God, forever triumphant.
Bring blessing and peace upon us from the four corners of the earth,
and actually bring us to our land with haste.
For You have selected us from every people and language,
and brought us close to the great idea of You,
to thank You, and for Your unity and exaltedness,
and to love the idea of You.
Appreciated! You are the Sacred One,
the One who lovingly selects the people of Yisrael!
'Listen, Yisrael; the Sacred One is our God –

when you lie down, and when you rise.
Bind them for a sign upon your hand;

And it will be, if you will fully heed My instructions

So that your days will increase, and the days of your children,
upon the land that the Sacred One swore
to your ancestors to give them,
as the days of heaven upon the earth.
And the Sacred One spoke to Moshe, saying,
Speak to the children of Yisrael, and tell them,
to make for themselves sisith
on the corners of their garments through the generations,
and to put upon the sisith of the corners a thread of tekheleth;
And they will be to you for sisith, that you will see it,
and remember all the instructions
of the Sacred One, and follow them;
and you will not follow after your heart and after your eyes,
which cause you to go astray;
So that you will remember, and follow all My instructions,
and you will be sacred to your God.
I am the Sacred One your God,
who brought you out of the land of Misrayim, to be your God;
I am the Sacred One your God.

Siddur Part 9 Ha'azinu
Ha'azinu (The Song of Moshe) - Devarim 32
Heavens give ear, and I will speak;
Earth, listen to the words of my mouth.
My teaching will drop as the rain,
my speech will distill as the dew;
as the small rain upon the tender herb,
and as the showers upon the grass;
For I will proclaim the idea of the Sacred One;
ascribe greatness to our God.
The Rock, Whose work is perfect;
for all the ways of the One are just;
God of truth and without iniquity,
Righteous and upright is the One.
Not corrupted, but the children are blemished;
a perverse and crooked generation.
Is this what you do to the Sacred One,
you foolish and unwise people?
Is the One not your Parent your Master?
Has the One not made you, and established you?
Remember the days of old,
consider the years of many generations;
ask your father, and he will show you,
your elders, and they will tell you.
When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance,
and set apart the sons of Adam,
and set the borders of the people
according to the number of the people of Yisra'el.
For the portion of the Sacred One is the people;
Ya`aqov is the lot of inheritance.
Who found him in a desert land,
and in the waste howling wilderness;
led him about, instructed him,
and kept him as the pupil of the eye.
As an eagle stirs up its nest,
flutters over its young,
spreads out its wings, takes them,
bears them on its pinions;
So the Sacred One alone did lead him,
and there was no strange god with him.
Causing him to ride on the high places of the earth,
and he ate the produce of the fields;
and made him suck honey out of the rock,
and oil out of the flinty rock;
Butter of cows, and milk of sheep,
with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats,
with the fat of kidneys of wheat;
and you did drink the wine of the pure blood of the grape.
But Jeshurun became fat, and kicked,
you have become fat, you have become thick,
you are covered with fatness,
then he forsook God who made him,
and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
They provoked jealousy with strange “gods”,
provoking anger with their abominations.
They sacrificed to powerless spirits, not to God;
to “gods” whom they did not know;
to new “gods” that came newly up,
whom your parents feared not.
Of the Rock that parented you you are unmindful,
and have forgotten God who formed you.
The Sacred One saw it, and loathed them,
because of the provocation of the sons, and the daughters.
And said, ‘I will hide My presence from them,
I will see what their end will be;
for they are a very perverse generation,
children in whom there is no faith.
They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God;
they have angered me with their vanities;
and I will move them to jealousy with those who are not a people;
I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
For a fire is kindled in My anger,
and will burn to the lowest part of Sheol,
and will consume the earth with her produce,
and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.
I will heap evils upon them;
I will spend my arrows upon them.
They will be wasted with hunger,
and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction;
I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them,
with the poison of crawling things of the dust.
The sword will destroy outside,
and terror inside,
both the young man and the virgin,
the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
I said, I would scatter them into corners,
I would make the remembrance of them
to cease from among mortals;
Were it not that I feared the anger of the enemy,
lest their adversaries should judge amiss,
and lest they should say, Our hand is high,
and the Sacred One has not done all this.
For they are a nation void of counsel,
nor is there any understanding in them.
Would it have been that they were wise, that they understood this,
that they would consider their latter end!
How should one chase a thousand,
and two put ten thousand to flight,
unless their Rock had sold them,
and the Sacred One had shut them up?
For their rock is not as our Rock,
even our enemies themselves being judges.
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom,
and of the fields of Gomorrah;
their grapes are grapes of gall,
their clusters are bitter;
Their wine is the fierceness of crocodiles,
and the cruel venom of asps.
Is not this laid up in store with me,
and sealed up among my treasures?
To me belongs vengeance, and recompense
when their foot will slip;
for the day of their calamity is at hand,
and the things that will come upon them make haste.’
For the Sacred One will judge the people,
and repent for the servants,
when it is seen that their power is gone,
and there is none shut up, or left.
And the One will say, where are their “gods”,
their rock in whom they trusted,
Those who ate the fat of their sacrifices,
and drank the wine of their drink offerings?
Let them rise up and help you,
and be your protection.
See now that I, I am the One,
and there is no god with me;
I cause death, and I bring to life,
I wound, and I heal;
nor is there any who can deliver out of my hand.
For I lift up my hand to heaven,
and say, I live forever.
If I whet my glittering sword,
and my hand takes hold on judgment;
I will render vengeance to my enemies,
and will requite those who hate me.
I will make my arrows drunk with blood,
and my sword will devour flesh;
with the blood of the slain and of the captives;
with the head of the wild bands of the enemy.
Rejoice, you nations, with the people,
for the blood of the servants will be avenged,
and will render vengeance to the adversaries,
and will make expiation for the land of the people.
And Moshe came
and spoke all the words of this poem in the ears of the people,
he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
And Moshe finished
speaking all these words to all Yisrael;
And he said to them, Set your hearts
to all the words
which I testify among you this day;
which you will instruct your children
to take care to do,
all the words of this Tora.
For it is not a vain thing for you,
because it is your life;
and through this thing
you will prolong your days in the land,
where you go over the Jordan to possess it.
And the Sacred One spoke to Moshe that same day, saying,
Go up to this Mountain Avarim, to Mount Nevo,
which is in the land of Moab,
that is opposite Yeriho;
and behold the land of Cana`an,
which I give to the people of Yisrael for a possession;
And die in the mount where you go up,
and be gathered to your people;
as Aaron your brother died in Mount Hor,
and was gathered to his people;
Because you trespassed against me
among the people of Yisrael
at the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin;
because you did not sanctify me
in the midst of the people of Yisrael.
Yet you will see the land before you;
but you will not go there
to the land which I give the people of Yisrael.
Siddur Part 8 YishtabaH - Shirath HaYam
Forever praised is the idea of You our Ruler,
the great and sacred Ruler in heaven and earth:
Sacred One our God, for it is proper to express to You:

eternity, strength, greatness, praise and beauty
might, majesty and royalty, from now until forever.
Appreciated! You are the Sacred One Our God, Ruler of all existence,
Ruler, great with praises, God of thanksgiving, Master of all deeds,
the One who chooses songs of praise, Life of the worlds.
There are customs to recite every day the Song at the Sea,
the Song Ha`azinu, or both:
Song at the Sea - Shemoth 14:30
The Sacred One saved Yisrael that day from the hand of Misrayim;
and Yisrael saw Misrayim dead upon the sea shore.
And Yisrael saw the great command
which the Sacred One took upon Misrayim;
The people feared the Sacred One;
and believed the Sacred One, and servant Moshe.
Then Moshe and the people of Yisrael sang this song
to the Sacred One, and they declared, saying;
I will sing to the Sacred One, for this incredible triumph;
horse and his rider thrown into the sea.
God is my strength and song, and has become my salvation;
This is my God, Who I will declare glorious;
the God of my ancestors, Who I will hold in the greatest esteem.
The Sacred One is master of war; this is the idea of the Sacred One.
Pharaoh’s chariots and army have been thrown into the sea;
his chosen captains also drowned in the Sea of Reeds.
The depths have covered them;
they sank to the bottom like a stone.
Sacred One, Your manipulative force is glorious in power;
Sacred One, Your manipulative force
has dashed the enemy into pieces.
And in the greatness of Your excellency
You have overthrown those that rose up against You;
You sent forth Your anger, which consumed them like stubble.
With the blast of Your wind the waters were gathered,
the floods stood upright as a heap,
and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea.
The enemy said, I will pursue,
I will overtake, I will divide the plunder;
my lust will be satisfied upon them;
I will draw my sword, my hand will destroy them.
You blew with Your wind, the sea covered them;
they sank as lead in the mighty waters.
“Who is similar to You, Sacred One, among authorities;
who is similar to You, majestic in the place of sanctity,
an awesome object of praises, acting wonderfully?
You used Your manipulative force, and the earth swallowed them.
In Your mercy You led forth the people You redeemed;
You guided them in strength to Your sacred habitation.
The people will hear, and be afraid;
sorrow will take hold on the inhabitants of Pelasheth.
Then the chiefs of Edom will be amazed,
trembling will take hold upon the mighty men of Moav;
all the inhabitants of Canaan will melt away.
Fear and dread will fall upon them;
by Your great outstretch they will be still as a stone;
until Your people pass over, Sacred One,
until the people pass over, whom You have claimed.
You will bring them in,
and plant them in the mountain of your heritage,
in the place which You have made for You to dwell, Sacred One,
the Sanctuary, Master, which You have established in Your control.
The Sacred One will reign forever and ever!
When the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots
and with his horsemen into the sea,
and the Sacred One brought the waters of the sea back upon them;
but the people of Yisrael went into the midst of the sea on dry land.
Miriam the prophetess, sister of Aaron,
took the tambourine in her hand;
and all the women went out after her with tambourines and dancing.
And Miriam answered them,
Sing to the Sacred One, for this incredible triumph;
horse and his rider thrown into the sea.
So Moshe brought Yisrael from the Reed Sea,
and they went out into the wilderness of Shur;
and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water.
When they came to Marah,
they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter;
therefore its name was called Marah.
And the people complained against Moshe,
saying, What will we drink?
And he cried to the Sacred One;
and the Sacred One showed him a tree,
which when he threw into the waters, and made the waters sweet;
a statute and an ordinance was made for them there,
and there they were tested.
And said the One, ‘If you will diligently listen to the voice
of the Sacred One your God,
do what is right in the sight of the One,
give ear to the instructions, and keep all the statutes,
I will put none of these diseases upon you,
which I have brought upon Misrayim;
for I am the Sacred One that heals you’.

Siddur Part 7 Nishmath kol Hhai
It is customary to add this on Shabbath:
The soul of all life will appreciate the idea of You,
Sacred One our God.
The spirit of all flesh will proclaim You glorious,
and Your remembrance will always be of highest esteem, our Ruler.
Through the generations forever eternally,
You are God and besides You there is no God;
and in all times of distress and anguish we have no Ruler,
Redeemer, or Savior, but You.
Liberator and Rescuer, Sustainer and Merciful One,
God of all creatures;
Master of all generations is the One who is extolled in praises,
Who guides the World with kindness
and the creatures with much compassion.
And the Sacred One, our one true God,
neither slumbers nor sleeps;
the One who rouses the sleepers and awakens the drowsy,
supporting the fallen, and healing the sick, and releasing the bound,
and to You, we give our thanks.
If our mouth were filled with poetry as the sea,
and our tongue with joyous song as the roaring waves;
Our lips with praise as the expanse of the heavens,
and our eyes as brilliant as the sun and the moon,
Our hands spread forth like the eagles of the sky,
and our feet as swift as the deer -
still we could not fully thank You Sacred One our God,
or appreciate the idea of You our Ruler.
For even one of the thousand thousands of thousands
and myriad myriads of myriads of favors,
that You performed for us and for our ancestors in days gone by:
You redeemed us from Misrayim Sacred One our God,
and liberated us from the institution of slavery,
You nourished us in famine,
and sustained us in plenty, and saved us from the sword,
and let us escape from plague,
and spared us from severe and persistent diseases;
Your mercy has helped us all along Sacred One our God,
and Your kindness has not forsaken us.
Therefore the organs that You implanted within us,
and the spirit and soul that You breathed into our nostrils,
and the tongue that You placed in our mouth -
all of them will thank and appreciate the idea of You
Sacred One our God, for Your great miraculous wonder.
For every mouth will give thanks to You
and every tongue give You praise,
every eye will look to You; and every knee will bend,
every straight spine will prostrate to You,
and every heart will fear,
and our innermost depths will sing praises to the idea of You,
As it is said, “All my limbs will say,
‘Who is similar to You, Sacred One?’,
You rescue the poor from one who is stronger;
the poor and needy from one who robs.”
And it is said, “Sing joyfully of the Sacred One, righteous ones;
for praise is fitting for the upright.”
You will be highly esteemed by the mouth of the upright,
appreciated by the words of the righteous,
the tongue of all the pious express Your sanctity,
and amidst the sacred will you be lauded,
Sacred One our God, the idea of You will be glorified
in the assemblies of the myriads of Your people,
the entire House of Yisrael,
for this is the duty of all creatures towards You,
Sacred One our God,
to thank and laud, to praise and declare glorious,
to exalt and proclaim great,
and to adore beyond all the poetry and songs and praises
of Dawid son of Yishai Your servant, Your anointed.
The soul of all life will appreciate the idea of You,
Sacred One our God.
The spirit of all flesh will proclaim You glorious,
and Your remembrance will always be of highest esteem, our Ruler.
Through the generations forever eternally,
You are God and besides You there is no God;
and in all times of distress and anguish we have no Ruler,
Redeemer, or Savior, but You.
Liberator and Rescuer, Sustainer and Merciful One,
God of all creatures;
Master of all generations is the One who is extolled in praises,
Who guides the World with kindness
and the creatures with much compassion.
And the Sacred One, our one true God,
neither slumbers nor sleeps;
the One who rouses the sleepers and awakens the drowsy,
supporting the fallen, and healing the sick, and releasing the bound,
and to You, we give our thanks.
If our mouth were filled with poetry as the sea,
and our tongue with joyous song as the roaring waves;
Our lips with praise as the expanse of the heavens,
and our eyes as brilliant as the sun and the moon,
Our hands spread forth like the eagles of the sky,
and our feet as swift as the deer -
still we could not fully thank You Sacred One our God,
or appreciate the idea of You our Ruler.
For even one of the thousand thousands of thousands
and myriad myriads of myriads of favors,
that You performed for us and for our ancestors in days gone by:
You redeemed us from Misrayim Sacred One our God,
and liberated us from the institution of slavery,
You nourished us in famine,
and sustained us in plenty, and saved us from the sword,
and let us escape from plague,
and spared us from severe and persistent diseases;
Your mercy has helped us all along Sacred One our God,
and Your kindness has not forsaken us.
Therefore the organs that You implanted within us,
and the spirit and soul that You breathed into our nostrils,
and the tongue that You placed in our mouth -
all of them will thank and appreciate the idea of You
Sacred One our God, for Your great miraculous wonder.
For every mouth will give thanks to You
and every tongue give You praise,
every eye will look to You; and every knee will bend,
every straight spine will prostrate to You,
and every heart will fear,
and our innermost depths will sing praises to the idea of You,
As it is said, “All my limbs will say,
‘Who is similar to You, Sacred One?’,
You rescue the poor from one who is stronger;
the poor and needy from one who robs.”
And it is said, “Sing joyfully of the Sacred One, righteous ones;
for praise is fitting for the upright.”
You will be highly esteemed by the mouth of the upright,
appreciated by the words of the righteous,
the tongue of all the pious express Your sanctity,
and amidst the sacred will you be lauded,
Sacred One our God, the idea of You will be glorified
in the assemblies of the myriads of Your people,
the entire House of Yisrael,
for this is the duty of all creatures towards You,
Sacred One our God,
to thank and laud, to praise and declare glorious,
to exalt and proclaim great,
and to adore beyond all the poetry and songs and praises
of Dawid son of Yishai Your servant, Your anointed.
Siddur Part 6 Halelu-Yah!
Halelu-Yah! My soul, praise the Sacred One!
I will praise the Sacred One while I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I exist.
Do not put your trust in princes, nor in a human being,
in whom there is no salvation.
Whose breath goes forth, and returns to the earth;
whose thoughts will perish on that day.
Fortunate is one whose help is in the God of Ya`aqov,
whose hope is in God, the Sacred One.
Who made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that is in it;
who keeps truth for ever;
Who executes judgment for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Sacred One frees the captives;
The Sacred One opens the eyes of the blind;
the Sacred One straightens those who are hunched over;
the Sacred One loves the righteous;
The Sacred One protects the strangers;
encouraging the orphan and the widow;
but makes the way of the wicked crooked.
The Sacred One will reign for ever, your God, Siyon,
to all generations, Halelu-Yah!
Halelu-Yah! For it is good to sing praises to our God;
for it is pleasant; and praise is fitting.
The Sacred One builds up Yerushalayim;
and gathers together the outcasts of Yisrael.
The One who heals the broken hearted,
and binds up their wounds.
Who counts the number of the stars;
and calls them all by names.
Great is our Master, and of great power;
of infinite understanding.
The Sacred One lifts up the humble;
and casts the wicked down to the ground.
Sing to the Sacred One with thanksgiving;
sing praise to our God upon the harp;
Who covers the heaven with clouds,
Who prepares rain for the earth,
Who makes the mountains sprout with grass.
Giving food to the beast, and to the young ravens that cry out.
Without delight in the strength of the horse;
without favoring the legs of a man.
The Sacred One takes pleasure in the reverent ones,
in those who hope in the kindness of the One.
Praise the Sacred One, Yerushalayim; praise your God, Siyon.
For the the bars of your gates have been strengthened;
and your children within you have been blessed by the One.
The One who makes peace in your borders,
and satiates you with the cream of the wheat.
The One who sends forth instruction upon earth;
Whose word runs very swiftly.
The One who gives snow like wool;
and scatters frost like ashes.
Casting forth ice like morsels;
who can stand before the coldness of the One?
Who sends out the word, and melts them;
and causes wind to blow, and the waters flow.
Who declares the word to Ya`aqov,
statutes and judgments to Yisrael.
This has not been done with any other nation;
and they have not known these judgements, Halelu-Yah!
Halelu-Yah! Praise the Sacred One from the heavens;
praise the One in the heights.
Praise the One, all the angels; praise the One, all the host.
Praise the One, sun and moon;
praise the One, all you stars of light.
Praise the One, heavens of heavens,
and the waters that are above the heavens.
Let them praise the idea of the Sacred One;
for the One instructed, and they were created.
And they were established by the One for ever and ever;
with a decree that will not be broken.
Praise the Sacred One from the earth,
sea giants, and all watery depths;
Fire, and hail; snow, and vapors;
stormy wind fulfilling the word;
Mountains, and all hills; fruitful trees, and all cedars;
Beasts, and all cattle; creeping things, and winged birds;
Kings of the earth, and all peoples;
princes, and all judges of the earth;
Young men and also virgins; old men, and children;
Let them praise the idea of the Sacred One;
for the idea of whom is uniquely exalted;
With glory above the earth and heaven.
Raising the pride of the people, a praise for all the pious ones,
for the children of Yisrael, a people brought close. Halelu-Yah!
Halelu-Yah! Sing a new song to the Sacred One,
Whose praise is sounded in the congregation of the pious.
Let Yisrael rejoice in its Maker;
let the children of Siyon be joyful in their Ruler.
The idea of Whom will be praised in their dance;
to Whom they will sing praises with the tambourine and harp.
For the Sacred One takes pleasure in its people;
and will beautify the humble with salvation.
Let the pious be joyful in glory;
let them sing aloud upon their beds.
Let the high praises of God be in their mouth,
and a two edged sword in their hand;
To execute vengeance upon the nations,
and chastisement upon the peoples;
To bind their kings with chains,
and their nobles with fetters of iron;
To execute upon them the judgment written;
this is an honor to all the pious ones. Halelu-Yah!
Halelu-Yah! Praise God in the sanctuary!
Praise the One in the firmament of Its power!
Praise the One for mighty acts!
Praise the One according to Its exceeding greatness!
Praise the One with the sound of the shofar!
Praise the One with the lyre and the harp!
Praise the One with the tambourine and dance!
Praise the One with stringed instruments and the pipe!
Praise the One with sounding cymbals!
Praise the One with loud crashing cymbals!
Let every thing that breathes praise the Sacred One! Halelu-Yah!

Siddur Part 4 Shir HaMa`aloth
“Songs of Uplifting”:
Psalm 120
A Song of Uplifting .
In my distress I cried to the Sacred One, and was answered.
Sacred One, save my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
What will be given to you?
What will be done to you, deceitful tongue?
Sharp mighty arrows, with blazing cinders of wood.
Woe unto me, for my drawn out journey,
I dwelled with those in the tents of Kedar!
My soul has long dwelt with those who hate peace.
I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
Psalm 121
A Song of Uplifting . I will lift up my eyes to the mountains.
From where does my help come?
My help comes from the Sacred One,
Who made heaven and earth.
Never allowing your foot to falter -
your Guardian will not slumber.
Behold, the Guardian of Yisrael neither slumbers nor sleeps.
The Sacred One is your keeper -
the Sacred One is your shade upon your right hand.
The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Sacred One will preserve you from all evil -
and preserve your soul.
The Sacred One will preserve your going out and your coming in -
from now until forever.
Psalm 122
A Song of Uplifting, by Dawid. I was glad when they said to me,
‘Let us go to the house of the Sacred One’.
Our feet stood inside your gates, Yerushalayim.
Yerushalayim is built as a city which is bound firmly together;
There the tribes went up, the tribes of God,
as a testimony for Yisrael,
to give thanks to the idea of the Sacred One.
For thrones of judgment were set there,
the thrones of the house of Dawid.
Pray for the peace of Yerushalayim -
those who love you will prosper.
May there be peace within your walls,
and prosperity within your palaces.
For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will now say, be in peace.
For the sake of the house of the Sacred One our God,
I will seek goodness for you..
Psalm 123
A Song of Uplifting. I lifted up my eyes to You,
You who dwells in the heavens.
Behold, as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters,
and as the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress;
so our eyes wait upon the Sacred One our God,
until God will be gracious to us.
Be gracious to us, Sacred One, be gracious to us -
for we are overfilled with contempt.
Our soul is overfilled with the scorn of those who are at ease,
and with the contempt of the arrogant.
Psalm 124
A Song of Uplifting, of Dawid.
If the Sacred One had not been with us, let Yisrael now say;
If the Sacred One had not been with us,
when men rose up against us;
Then they would have swallowed us up alive,
when their wrath was kindled against us;
Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
the current would have surged across our soul;
Then the treacherous waters would have surged across our soul.
The Sacred One is appreciated,
who has not given us as a prey for their teeth.
Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the trappers;
the snare has broken, and we have escaped.
Our help is in the idea of the Sacred One,
Who made heaven and earth!
Psalm 125
A Song of Uplifting.
Those who trust in the Sacred One are like Mount Siyon,
which cannot falter, but abides for ever.
As the mountains surround Yerushalayim,
so the Sacred One surrounds the people; from now until forever.
For the rod of wickedness will not rest upon the lot of the righteous;
in order that the righteous put forth their hands to do wrong.
Sacred One, do good to those who are good,
and to those who are upright in their hearts.
And for those who turn to their crooked ways,
the Sacred One will lead them with those who do evil;
peace upon Yisrael!
Psalm 126
A Song of Uplifting.
When the Sacred One returns the captives of Siyon,
we will have been like dreamers.
Then our mouth will be filled with laughter,
and our tongue with joyful singing;
then they will say among the nations,
‘The Sacred One has done great things for them’.
The Sacred One has done great things for us; we are joyful!
Bring back our captives, Sacred One, like the streams of the Negev.
Those who sow in tears will reap in joyful song.
One who goes forth weeping, bearing the seed for sowing;
will come back with shouts of joy; with sheaves to bring in.
Psalm 127
A Song of Uplifting for Shelomo.
Unless the Sacred One builds the house,
those who build it labor in vain;
unless the Sacred One watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late,
to eat the bread of toil -
for truly God gives sleep to the beloved.
Behold, children are a heritage of the Sacred One -
and the fruit of the womb is a reward.
As arrows are in the hand of the mighty; so are the children of youth.
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them -
they will not be put to shame,
when they speak with the enemies in the gate.
Psalm 128
A Song of Uplifting. Fortunate are all who fear the Sacred One -
who walk in the ways of God.
When you eat the labor of your hands -
you will be fortunate, and it will be well with you.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine in the chambers of your house -
your children like olive shoots around your table.
Behold, so will the man be blessed who fears the Sacred One.
May the Sacred One bless you from Siyon -
and you will see the goodness of Yerushalayim -
all the days of your life.
And you will see your children’s children, peace upon Yisrael.
Psalm 129
A Song of Uplifting.
They have often troubled me from my youth, let Yisrael now say;
They have often troubled me from my youth -
yet they have not prevailed against me.
The plowers plowed upon my back; they made their furrows long.
The Sacred One is righteous; and has cut the cords of the wicked.
May all who hate Siyon be put to shame and turned away.
Let them be like the grass on the rooftops,
which withers before it is plucked;
With which the reaper does not fill his hand -
nor one who binds sheaves his arm.
And those who pass by do not say,
“May the blessing of the Sacred One be upon you;
we request blessings for you in the name of the Sacred One.”
Psalm 130
A Song of Uplifting. I called to You from the depths, Sacred One.
My Master, hear my voice -
may You listen attentively to the sound of my pleas.
If You, God, preserve iniquities, my Master, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with You; that You may be revered.
I wait for the Sacred One, my soul waits,
and I hope in the word of the One.
My soul longs for the Sacred One
more than those who long for the morning, who long for the morning.
Let Yisrael hope for the Sacred One -
for with the Sacred One there is kindness,
and there is much redemption with the One.
And the One will redeem Yisrael; from all its iniquities.
Psalm 131
A Song of Uplifting by Dawid.
Sacred One, my heart was not proud, nor my eyes lofty;
nor did I pursue matters too great or wondrous for me.
I have surely behaved and quieted my soul,
like a nursing child with its mother; my soul is like a nursing child.
Let Yisrael hope in the Sacred One from now until forever.
Psalm 132
A Song of Uplifting. Sacred One,
remember in Dawid’s favor all his suffering;
How he swore to the Sacred One,
and vowed to the mighty One of Ya`aqov;
Surely I will not come into the tent of my house,
nor get into the bed that is made for me;
I will not give sleep to my eyes, or slumber to my eyelids,
Until I find out a place for the Sacred One,
tabernacles for the mighty One of Ya`aqov.
Behold, we heard of it at Ephratha -
we found it in the fields of Ya`ar;
We will go into the tabernacles of the One -
we will prostrate at the footstool.
Arise, Sacred One, to Your resting place -
You, and the ark of Your might.
Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness -
and let your pious ones sing with joy.
For the sake of Dawid your servant,
do not turn away the face of your anointed.
The Sacred One has sworn in truth to Dawid -
and will not turn from it -
“Of the fruit of your loins I will set upon your throne”.
If your children keep my covenant
and my testimony that I teach them,
their children will also sit upon your throne forever.
For the Sacred One has chosen Siyon -
and desired it for a habitation.
This is my resting place forever -
here I will dwell; for I have desired it.
I will abundantly bless her provision -
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
I will also clothe her priests with salvation -
and her pious ones will sing ever joyfully.
There I will cause the pride of Dawid to sprout -
I have prepared a lamp for My anointed.
I will clothe his enemies with shame -
but upon him, his crown will shine.
Psalm 133
A Song of Uplifting, by Dawid.
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
for siblings to dwell together in unity!
Like the precious oil upon the head, that runs down upon the beard,
Aaron’s beard, that runs down to the hem of his garments.
Like the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Siyon;
for there the Sacred One has instructed the blessing,
let there be life forever!
Psalm 134
A Song of Uplifting. Behold, express appreciation to the Sacred One,
all you servants of the Sacred One,
who stand in the house of the Sacred One by night.
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary,
and express appreciation to the Sacred One.
May the Sacred One who made heaven and earth
bless you from Siyon!
Siddur Part 3 Barukh She-amar

and by the songs of Dawid son of Yishai Your servant, Your anointed,

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.
