	Dieser Psalm wird siebenmal vor dem Schofer blasen wiederholt. (Psalm 47).	This psalm is repeated seven times before blowing the shofar. (Psalms 47)
לַמְנַצֵּחַ לִבְנֵי־קֹרַח מִזְמוֹר׃	Dem Sangmeister ein Psalm von den Söhnen Ḳoraḥ’s.	To the songmaster, a psalm from the sons of Qoraḥ.
כׇּל־הָעַמִּים תִּקְעוּ־כָף הָרִיעוּ לֵאלֹהִים בְּקוֹל רִנָּה׃	Frohlocket alle Völker mit Händen! Jauchzet Gott mit fröhlichem Schall!	Rejoice all nations with drumming!^[1] lit. with hands. Rejoice to God with joyful sound!
כִּי־יְהֹוָה עֶלְיוֹן נוֹרָא מֶלֶךְ גָּדוֹל עַל־כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ׃ יַדְבֵּר עַמִּים תַּחְתֵּינוּ וּלְאֻמִּים תַּחַת רַגְלֵינוּ׃ יִבְחַר־לָנוּ אֶת־נַחֲלָתֵנוּ אֶת־גְּאוֹן יַעֲקֹב אֲשֶׁר־אָהֵב סֶלָה׃	Denn der Herr, der Höchste, Ehrfurchtswürdige, ist großer König auf dem Erdreich, zwinget Völker unter uns, Nationen unter unsere Füße, wählt uns unser Erbtheil, Jakobs Herrlichkeit von ihm geliebt.	For the Lord, the most high and awesome, is [the] greatest king on the earth, compels peoples under us, nations under our feet, chooses for us our inheritance, loved by him [is] Yaaqov’s glory.
עָלָה אֱלֹהִים בִּתְרוּעָה יְהֹוָה בְּקוֹל שׁוֹפָר׃ זַמְּרוּ אֱלֹהִים זַמֵּרוּ זַמְּרוּ לְמַלְכֵּנוּ זַמֵּרוּ׃ כִּי מֶלֶךְ כׇּל־הָאָרֶץ אֱלֹהִים זַמְּרוּ מַשְׂכִּיל׃	Gott fährt empor unter Jauchzen, der Ewige unter Posaunenschall. Lobsinget Gott, lobsinget unserem Könige, lobsinget! denn Gott ist auf dem ganzen Erdreich König. Rühret das Saitenspiel zum Unterweisunglied.	God ascends with shouting, the Eternal with sound of trumpets. Sing praises to God, sing praises to our King, sing praises, for God is King over all the earth. Stir the strings to the song of instruction.
מָלַךְ אֱלֹהִים עַל־גּוֹיִם אֱלֹהִים יָשַׁב עַל־כִּסֵּא קׇדְשׁוֹ׃ נְדִיבֵי עַמִּים נֶאֱסָפוּ עַם אֱלֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם כִּי לֵאלֹהִים מָגִנֵּי־אֶרֶץ מְאֹד נַעֲלָה׃	Gott ist König über alle Völker, Gott sitzt auf seinem heiligen Throne, versammelt sind die Könige der Völker zu einem Volke des Gottes Abrahams; denn Gottes sind die Schilde des Erdreichs; hoch erhaben ist er.	God is king over all nations, God sits on his holy throne, the kings of the nations are gathered together as one people of the God of Avraham; for God’s are the shields of the earth; he is exalted.

“Dieser Psalm wird siebenmal vor dem Schofer blasen wiederholt (Psalm 47)” was translated by Yehoshua Heshil Miro and published in his anthology of teḥinot, בית יעקב (Beit Yaaqov) Allgemeines Gebetbuch für gebildete Frauen mosaicher Religion. It first appears in the 1829 edition, תחנות Teḥinot ein Gebetbuch für gebildete Frauenzimmer mosaicher Religion as teḥinah №35 on p. 44. In the 1835 edition, it appears as teḥinah №31 on pp. 47-48. In the 1842 edition, it appears as teḥinah №33 on pp. 50-51.

We welcome corrections and improvements. The transcription of the German from Latin script in Fraktur type provided machine-readable text for a machine translation by DeepL, which we then edited for accuracy and clarity. –Aharon Varady

Yehoshua Heshil Miro

Yehoshua Heshil ben Rabbi Binyamin Miro (fl. first-half 19th c.) was a writer and Jewish educator in Prussia, an early advocate and teacher of Jewish girls. He worked as a professor at a private school, and a teacher at the Königliche Wilhelms-Schule (and possibly also the Industrial School for Israelite Girls), in then Prussian Breslau. We know very little else about Miro aside from his publication of a popular anthology of teḥinot for German speaking women first published in 1829. If you know more about Miro, please contact us.

Bnei Qoraḥ

The Bnei Qoraḥ (sons of Ḳoraḥ a/k/a Qoraḥites) were an important branch of the singers of the Kohathite division (2 Chronicles 20:19). Eleven psalms are attributed to the Qoraḥites: Psalms 42, Psalms 44 - 49, Psalms 84, Psalms 85, Psalms 87, and Psalms 88. Some of the sons of Qoraḥ also were "porters" of the temple (1 Chronicles 9:17-19); one of them was over "things that were made in the pans" (v31), i.e., the baking in pans for the meat-offering (Leviticus 2:5).

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of contributors, patrons, or institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture. If you like what you've found here, please help keep our project alive and online with your financial contribution.
