Description

Setting of Psalm 96
Shiru l’adonai shir chadash; shiru l’adonai kol haaretz.
Shiru l’adonai bar’chu sh’mo; basru miyom l’yom y’shu’ato.
Sapru bagoyim k’vodo; b’chol ha’amim niflotav.
Ki gadol adonai umhulal m’od; nora hu al kol elohim.

שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה, שִׁיר חָדָשׁ; שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה, כָּל-הָאָרֶץ.
שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה, בָּרְכוּ שְׁמוֹ; בַּשְּׂרוּ מִיּוֹם-לְיוֹם, יְשׁוּעָתוֹ.
סַפְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם כְּבוֹדוֹ; בְּכָל-הָעַמִּים, נִפְלְאוֹתָיו.
כִּי גָדוֹל יְהוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד; נוֹרָא הוּא, עַל-כָּל-אֱלֹהִים.
