Praises and Songs

Haggadah Section: Hallel

At this point, it is customary to sing selections from the Tehillim/Psalms, continuing our thanks to God for redeeming our ancestors from Egypt and his continuous protection. It is a time of singing and of praise. We are to love Adonai with all our hearts, with all our souls and with all our might and to diligently teach our children the Torah commandments, speaking of them daily and keeping them close to our minds and close to our hearts.

Psalm 136 will be said responsively; we will take turns reciting the first part of the verse while the rest recite the conclusion of the verse in bold.

Give thanks to Adonai, for he is good for His mercy endures forever!

Give thanks to the God of gods for His mercy endures forever!

Give thanks to the Lord of lords for His mercy endures forever!

To him who alone has done great wonders for His mercy endures forever!

To him who skillfully made the heavens for His mercy endures forever!

To him who spread out the earth on the water for His mercy endures forever!

To him who made the great lights for His mercy endures forever!

The sun to rule the day for His mercy endures forever!

The moon and stars to rule the night for His mercy endures forever!

To him who struck down Egypt's firstborn for His mercy endures forever!

And brought Israel out from among them for His mercy endures forever!

With a mighty hand and an outstretched arm for His mercy endures forever!

To him who split apart the Sea of Suf for His mercy endures forever!

And made Israel cross right through it for His mercy endures forever!

But swept Pharaoh and his army into the Sea of Suf for His mercy endures forever!

To him who led his people through the desert for His mercy endures forever!

To him who struck down great kings for His mercy endures forever!

Yes, he slaughtered powerful kings for His mercy endures forever!

Sichon king of the Emori for His mercy endures forever!

And `Og king of Bashan for His mercy endures forever!

Then he gave their land as a heritage for His mercy endures forever!

To be possessed by Israel his servant for His mercy endures forever!

Who remembers us whenever we are brought low for His mercy endures forever!

And rescues us from our enemies for His mercy endures forever!

Who provides food for every living creature for His mercy endures forever!

Give thanks to the God of heaven for His mercy endures forever!

Sing:

Hodu l'Adonai ki tov,

Ki le-olam chasdo x2

Hodu, hodu, hodu, hodu,

Hodu l'Adonai ki tov

Hodu, hodu, hodu, hodu,

Ki le-alom chasdo.

Tehillim/Psalms 136
