It was originally written as a “geulah,” meant to be inserted into the prayer after the Shema in place of the verse beginning with “A new song…” But later Sephardic poskim ruled that it was forbidden to insert piyyutim into the Shema blessings, so in the communities that recite it today it is generally either read after the Full Kaddish as an introduction to the Torah service, or (for instance, in most Spanish and Portuguese communities) within the verse “Kol atzmotai tomarna” in the Nishmat prayer. Wherever you include it in your service, it’s a beautiful and intricately rhymed piyyut, and surprisingly easy to understand at that. It is presented here in a gender-neutral translation with all the Biblical verses cited, alongside a new translation that preserves the fourfold acrostic, two alphabetical and two authorial. –Isaac Gantwerk Mayer . . . ![]() Shared on ל׳ בסיון ה׳תש״פ (2020-06-22) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Zero (CC 0) Universal license a Public Domain dedication Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() Shared on ט״ו באייר ה׳תשע״ח (2018-04-29) — under the following terms: Public Domain (17 U.S. Code §105 - Subject matter of copyright: United States Government works) Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() Shared on ט׳ בסיון ה׳תשע״ז (2017-06-03) — under the following terms: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (CC BY-SA) 4.0 International copyleft license Categories: ![]() Tags: ![]() ![]() “God Save the Queen” is an adaptation of “God Save the King,” a work by an unknown author, first circulated by periodicals in mid-18th century England.
