It was first published in The Jewish Chronicle, №1341 (new series), 21 December 1894, p. 18. The work cannot be regarded as a translation, or even a free translation or paraphrasic translation, but rather as a song inspired by the initial lines of the first and last stanzas of Maoz Tsur.

This prayer for the well-being of Her Majesty’s military forces in the Sudan, was offered by chief rabbi Nathan Marcus Adler for use by the United Hebrew Congregations of the British Empire in the context of British involvement in the Mahdist War, and specifically after news reached Britain of the Battle of Abu Klea in January 1885.

Sir Robert Grant (1839), pp. 9-11. It was first published without attribution as hymn №19 in the Appendix of Hymns for private devotion, selected and original (ed. Bethia Fuller-Maitland, 1827) on pages 190-191. Categories: Tags: 19th century C.E., 56th century A.M., English poetry, English Romanticism, Prayers as poems, Psalms 71 Contributor(s): This is the poem by Sir Robert Grant known best from its incipit “O Worship the King,” as published posthumously under the title “Psalm ⅭⅣ” by his brother Charles Grant (Lord Glenelg) in Sacred Poems by the Late Right Hon. Sir Robert Grant (1839), pp. 33-35. It was first published without attribution as hymn №31 in the Appendix of Hymns for private devotion, selected and original (ed. Bethia Fuller-Maitland, 1827) on pages 206-207. It was first published with attribution as psalm №104 in Psalms and Hymns for Public, Private, and Social Worship (ed. Henry V. Elliott, 1835) on pages 34-35. Identified as an adaptation of Psalms 104 (and with five of its six stanzas) the hymn was included as №16 in the Union hymnal for Jewish worship (1914). Brian Hehn writes, “This hymn, one of Grant’s most popular, is a paraphrase of Psalm 104. It was originally thought to have been a rendering of William Kethe’s setting of the same psalm in the Anglo-Genevan Psalter of 1561. However, Episcopal hymnologist Raymond F. Glover contends that this is a misconception. He argues that the two settings are in the same meter only because they were written for the same psalm.” Categories: Tags: 19th century C.E., 56th century A.M., English poetry, English Romanticism, hymns of creation, Prayers as poems, Psalms 104 Contributor(s): “Arise, my soul! with rapture rise!” is the incipit to Hymn №2 in Barnett A.
