Give thanks to Adonai, call out in God’s name. Let all peoples know of God’s deeds. Sing to God, hymn to God, describe all of God’s wondrous acts, exult in God’s holy name. May all who yearn for Adonai find rejoicing in their hearts. Seek Adonai, acclaim God, constantly crave God’s presence. Remember the wonders God wrought, God’s marvelous deeds and judgment. Seed of Israel, God’s servant, treasured children of Jacob, Adonai is our God; all the earth is subject to God’s law. Always remember God’s covenant—words binding for a thousand generations—made with Abraham, promised to Isaac, and affirmed in a decree to Jacob, an everlasting covenant with Israel, saying: I will give you the land of Canaan, as your apportioned inheritance. You were few in number then, hardly dwelling there. As you wandered from people to people, from one nation to another, God did not let anyone oppress you, but admonished rulers, “Do not touch My anointed; do not harm My prophets.”
Commentary 1 CHRONICLES 16:8–36. This first biblical text in P’sukei D’zimra is recited daily and is taken from 1 Chronicles. The Chronicler describes David bringing the ark to Jerusalem, accompanied by levitical singing commissioned by him. The song itself is a medley of verses found in the Book of Psalms and is an example of biblical texts quoting one another. The first fourteen verses are a near-quotation of Psalm 105:1–14, the next section is almost the complete text of Psalm 96, and what follows are quotations of verses from various other psalms. According to an early midrashic text, this passage was sung by the Levites when the tamid, the daily sacrifice, was offered (Seder Olam Rabbah, ch. 14). Similarly, our daily service, like that performed in the Temple, is accompanied by this song. One contemporary liturgical scholar, Yisrael Ta-Shma, argues that P’sukei D’zimra, literally “Verses of Song,” derives its name from this prayer, which is an anthology of biblical verses, said to have been sung by the Levites.
Commentary ACCLAIM GOD וְעֻזּוֹ. Some translate this word as “God’s might”—that is: the ark, which is the manifestation of God’s power.
Commentary TREASURED CHILDREN OF JACOB בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב בְּחִירָיו. B’hirav (from the root b-ḥ-r) can mean “chosen.” Here we render it as “treasured” in light of its synonymous usage in Deuteronomy and elsewhere.
Commentary A THOUSAND GENERATIONS לְאֶלֶף דּוֹר. This biblical expression conveys the idea of endless time.
MarginNote Morning Praise You endow birds with the talent to sing Your name; I, too, desire the same. Birds wake the world chirping aloud, a talent instilled in them by God. Might I, too, learn from those who fly and be instructed by this animal cry to acclaim the one who created me and who planted a soul within my body. You endow birds with the talent to sing Your name; I, too, desire the same. Tired people, look to the birds flying in the sky who daily sing to the creator on high. None tires, none fails to do what the maker asked; none is diverted from the appointed task. Human beings too can plant seeds with songs and morning and evening for nothing more need long. Take instruction, sing to God, bend your will, and so a priestly role fulfill. You endow birds with the talent to sing Your name; I, too, desire the same. —ISRAEL NAJARA
