שִׁירוּ לַיהוה שִׁיר חָדָשׁ, שִׁירוּ לַיהוה כָּל הָאָרֶץ׃ שִׁירוּ לַיהוה בָּרְכוּ שְׁמוֹ, בַּשְּׂרוּ מִיּוֹם לְיוֹם יְשׁוּעָתוֹ׃ |
Sing a new song to YHVH; all the earth, sing to YHVH! Sing to YHVH, bless God’s name, tell of His power day after day. |
סַפְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם כְּבוֹדוֹ, בְּכָל־הָעַמִּים נִפְלְאוֹתָיו׃ כִּי גָדוֹל יהוה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד, נוֹרָא הוּא עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִים׃ כִּי כָּל־אֱלֹהֵי הָעַמִּים אֱלִילִים, וַיהוה שָׁמַיִם עָשָׂה׃ |
Declare God’s glory among the nations, God’s wonders among the peoples. For YHVH is great, beyond all praise, Awesome, far above the gods that are worshipped! All the other gods are merely idols׃ YHVH made the heavens. |
הוֹד־וְהָדָר לְפָנָיו, עֹז וְתִפְאֶרֶת בְּמִקְדָּשׁוֹ׃ הָבוּ לַיהוה מִשְׁפְּחוֹת עַמִּים, הָבוּ לַיהוה כָּבוֹד וָעֹז׃ הָבוּ לַיהוה כְּבוֹד שְׁמוֹ, שְׂאוּ־מִנְחָה וּבוֹאוּ לְחַצְרוֹתָיו׃ הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַיהוה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹדֶשׁ, |

חִילוּ מִפָּנָיו כָּל־הָאָרֶץ׃ אִמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם יהוה מָלָךְ, אַף־תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל־תִּמּוֹט, יָדִין עַמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרִים׃ |
Let all the earth tremble at God’s presence. Declare to the nations׃ “YHVH reigns; now the world is secure and firmly based׃ God will judge the peoples with integrity.” |
יִשְׂמְחוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְתָגֵל הָאָרֶץ, יִרְעַם הַיָּם וּמְלֹאוֹ׃ יַעֲלֹז שָׂדַי וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ, אָז יְרַנְּנוּ כָּל־עֲצֵי־יָעַר׃ לִפְנֵי יהוה כִּי בָא, כִּי בָא לִשְׁפֹּט הָאָרֶץ, יִשְׁפֹּט תֵּבֵל בְּצֶדֶק וְעַמִּים בֶּאֱמוּנָתוֹ׃ |
Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and all that fills it. Let the field and all its creatures exult; Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before YHVH. For God comes to rule the earth׃ God will rule the world with justice, and the peoples with divine truth. |
This translation of Psalms 96 can be found in HaAvodah SheBaLev – the Service of the Heart (Kehilat Kol HaNeshama, Jerusalem, 2007). “YHVH” is used as a circumlocution for the Tetragrammaton in the English translation. I have replaced ‘YHVH’ with ‘YHVH,’ God with ‘El,’ and ‘our God’ with ‘our elo’ah.’ –Aharon Varady.

The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, 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.
ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established." –Psalms 90:17
