Text

Psalm 150 is part of P'sukei D'Zimra on both Shabbat and weekdays.

(א) הַלְלוּיָהּ, הַלְלוּ אֵל בְּקָדְשׁו, הַלְלוּהוּ בִּרְקִיעַ עֻזּו: הַלְלוּהוּ בִּגְבוּרתָיו, הַלְלוּהוּ כְּרֹב גֻּדְלו: הַלְלוּהוּ בְּתֵקַע שׁוֹפָר, הַלְלוּהוּ בְּנֵבֶל וְכִנּור: הַלְלוּהוּ בְּתֹף וּמָחוֹל, הַלְלוּהוּ בְּמִנִּים וְעֻגָב: הַלְלוּהוּ בְּצִלְצְלֵי שָׁמַע, הַלְלוּהוּ בְּצִלְצְלֵי תְרוּעָה: כֹּל הַנְּשָׁמָה תְּהַלֵּל יָהּ הַלְלוּיָהּ: כֹּל הַנְּשָׁמָה תְּהַלֵּל יָהּ הַלְלוּיָהּ:

Hallelujah. Give praise in the divine sanctuary; give praise in the sky, the divine stronghold. Give praise for mighty acts; give praise for exceeding greatness. Give praise with blasts of the horn; give praise with harp and lyre. Give praise with hand-drum and dance; give praise with lute and pipe. Give praise with resounding cymbals; give praise with loud-clashing cymbals. Let all that breathes praise Yah. Hallelujah.

Halleluyah, hallelu El bekodsho, halleluhu birki'a uzo. Halleluhu vigvurotav, halleluhu kerov gudlo. Helleluhu beteka shofar, halleluhu benevel vechinor. Helleluhu betof umachol, helleluhu beminim ve'ugav. Halleluhu vetsiltselei shama, halleluhu vetsiltselei tru'ah. Kol haneshama tehalel Yah halleluyah.

Kavvanot
