Hirsch of Your wonders I will speak. Of Your awesome might, they⁶People in general will speak of God’s wondrous might in punishing the wicked (Sodom, Egypt, etc.) while David will proclaim that God’s greatness is measured more by His kindliness than by His awesomeness.—Siach Yitzchok will speak, and Your greatness I will recount. Mention of Your bountifulness they will express, and in Your righteousness joyfully exult. Adonoy is gracious and merciful,⁷He is gracious in bestowing reward and merciful in punishment.—Siach Yitzchok slow to anger and great in kindliness.

Hirsch The will of those who fear Him, He fulfills; He hears their cry and delivers them.¹¹While God hears all who cry unto Him in truth. He answers those who fear Him, who subject their desires to His will.—Siach Yitzchok Adonoy watches over all those who love Him, and will destroy all the wicked.

Happy are those who dwell in Your house; they forever praise You. Selah. A song of praise of David. I will extol You, my God and King, and bless Your name forever and ever. Every day will I bless You and praise Your name forever and ever. Great is the Lord and much acclaimed; His greatness cannot be fathomed. One generation shall laud Your works to another and declare Your mighty acts. The glorious majesty of Your splendor and Your wondrous acts will I recite. Men shall talk of the might of Your awesome deeds, and I will recount Your greatness. They shall celebrate Your abundant goodness, and sing joyously of Your beneficence.

You should pause between עוֹלָם and הַלְלוּיָהּ. Similarly, in all the Tehillim, the word הַלְלוּיָהּ is not connected to the preceding verse.

And He, the Merciful One, atones iniquity and does not destroy; He frequently withdraws His anger and does not arouse all His rage. You, Adonoy, withhold not Your mercy from me; may Your kindness and Your truth¹⁸חסד (kindness) is the good God bestows without a promise, whereas אמת (truth) is the fulfillment of His promise.—Siach Yitzchok always protect me. Remember Your mercies Adonoy and kindnesses, for they are from the beginning of the world.¹⁹God’s mercies to mankind started from the very day that Adam was created. God created the world in order to fill it with kindness as it is said: “A world of kindness was built” (Psalms 89:3).—Rashi Give might to God,²⁰Attribute your victories to God’s might rather than to your own.—Siach Yitzchok. Rashbam and others hold that since God’s actions are a reflection of Israel’s deeds, the latter are, in a sense, the source of His might. Thus when Israel follows the wishes of God, they give might to Him. His pride (majesty) hovers over Israel, and His might is in the clouds. You are awesome, God, from Your Sanctuaries,²¹There is a spiritual Temple in the heavens which corresponds to the Temple on earth.—Radak. The Talmud (Maseches Zevachim 115b) notes that the word ממקדשיך may also be read ממקדשיך, from Your holy people, indicating that God is especially demanding of the most adherent to the Torah. When this occurs, the world is filled with awe and fear of God. Almighty of Israel—He grants might and power to the people; blessed is God. Almighty of vengeance, Adonoy, Almighty of vengeance, reveal Yourself.²²These two verses (94:1-2) are an appeal to God during a time fraught with the sufferings of exile, when it seems as if God has forsaken His people. He is urged to reveal Himself as the Mighty champion of justice—S.R. Hirsch Arise, Judge of the earth! Repay the arrogant their just reward. Deliverance is Adonoy’s.²³Only God knows what is true deliverance for a person. Prayer is not always answered, because God in His infinite wisdom knows that granting the request is not always for our benefit. We must therefore bless and offer thanks to God regardless of whether our petition has been granted.—Siach Yitzchok Upon Your people is Your blessing. Selah. Adonoy of Hosts is with us, a stronghold for us is the God of Jacob. Selah. Adonoy of Hosts! Fortunate is the man who trusts in You. Adonoy, deliver [us]. The King will answer us on the day we call.

Adonoy, God of Avraham, Yitzchak, and Yisrael, our fathers, keep this forever as the intention of the hearts of Your people, and direct their hearts to You.⁷Divrei Hayamim I 29:18⁸May our recitation of the Kedushah inspire our thoughts and direct our hearts to serve You.—Avudraham And He, the merciful One, atones iniquity and does not destroy; He frequently withdraws His anger and does not arouse all His rage.⁹Tehillim 78:38 For You, my Master, are good and forgiving, and abounding in kindness to all who call upon You.¹⁰Tehillim 86:5 Your righteousness is everlasting and Your Torah is truth.¹¹Tehillim 119:142 You will grant truth to Yaakov kindliness to Avraham,¹²The patriarchs symbolize the three pillars of the universe—Torah, avodah,—the Temple service and gemilas chasadim—kindliness. Yaakov epitomized Torah, which is the ultimate truth; Yitzchak personified Divine service in his readiness to be offered as a sacrifice to Hashem; and Avraham exemplified the ideal and practice of kindliness throughout his life. We thus pray to be granted a share in the Divine truth of Torah in Yaakov’s merit, and to receive Hashem’s kindliness in Avraham’s merit. as You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.¹³Michah 7:20 Blessed is my Master day by day; He loads us, [with blessings]¹⁴Etz Yosef interprets the verse in this manner: “Blessed is Adonoy who loads us each day with His blessings and goodness.” the Almighty Who is our deliverance, forever.¹⁵Tehillim 68:20 Adonoy of Hosts is with us a stronghold for us is the God of Yaakov, selah.¹⁶Tehillim 46:8 Adonoy of Hosts, fortunate is the man who trusts in You.¹⁷Tehillim 84:13 Adonoy, deliver [us]; the King will answer us on the day we call.¹⁸Tehillim 20:10 Blessed is He, our God, Who created us for His glory,¹⁹This phrase is based on Yeshaya 43:7 “Everything that is called by My Name, I have created it for My glory.” and set us apart from those who go astray;²⁰This prayer is based on Yehoshua 24:2, 3, “Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the river—and they served other gods. And I took your father Avraham from the other side of the river.” See Bereishis 20:13 as interpreted by Onkelos. and gave us the Torah of truth, and eternal life He implanted within us. May He open our heart to His Torah, and instill in our heart love and awe of Him, to do His will and serve Him with a perfect heart, so that we shall not labor in vain²¹Some women are barren; they cannot bear children at all. Others have children who are unable to live. Similarly, there are those who study Torah only to criticize and ridicule what they learn, while others learn sincerely but later rebel against its teachings. Those who study to ridicule are comparable to the barren women who are unable to give birth. But those who later rebel are like those who bear children and bury them. We pray to Hashem to instill His love and fear in our hearts so that our learning will bear fruit and have a lasting influence on our lives.—Siddur HaGra nor bring forth that which causes dismay.²¹Some women are barren; they cannot bear children at all.

In order that my soul sing to You and not be stilled; Adonoy, my God, forever will I thank You.²²Tehillim 30:13 Blessed is the man who trusts in Adonoy,²³He does not just put his trust in Hashem while relying also upon a great many other factors which he considers the essential supports of his life and happiness. Hashem alone is the source of his trust; he relies on none other than Hashem.—S.R. Hirsch so that Adonoy is his security.²⁴Yirmiyahu 17:7 Trust in Adonoy until the end of days, for in God, Adonoy, is the strength of the worlds.²⁵Yeshaya 26:4 They will trust in You— those who know²⁶These are men of the highest caliber who perceive Hashem’s ways with undistorted clarity. They discern Hashem’s hand guiding the world in its constant, miraculous operation and they know with certainty that all is directed by Hashem.—Malbim your Name for You have never forsaken those who seek You, Adonoy.²⁷Tehillim 9:11 Adonoy desired, for the sake of His righteousness, to make the Torah great and to glorify it.²⁸Yeshaya 42:21

May it be Your will in front of You, Lord God, and God of our fathers - that in the merit of the third circle that we have encircled the platform on Your Simchat Torah, that hints to splendor, You will give us the merit to be from Your servants, about whom it is stated (Isaiah 49:3), "Israel, in whom I glory"; give us the merit to be occupied with Your holy Torah, the Torah of truth, and that all our objective be to seek the truth. And grace us, for the sake of the knowledge of the truth of the laws of the Torah. And give us the merit to distance ourselves from falsehood and untruth, and that all the corners to which we turn be for the matter of truth. And in the merit of the true Torah and in the merit of our father Jacob, peace be upon him, who is sealed with splendor, the trait of truth - and it is written (Micah 7:20), "You will give truth to Jacob" - that You will answer us and fulfill our request, and that Jerusalem will be called the city of truth. Therefore we hope to You, Lord our God to quickly see the splendor of Your power. (The next five verses begin with the Hebrew letters that spell out the word, splendor - TiFEReT:) May my song reach You, O Lord; grant me understanding according to Your word (Psalms 119:169). Make my feet firm through Your promise; do not let iniquity dominate me (Psalms 119:133). Happy is the man who finds refuge in You, whose mind is on the [pilgrim] highways (Psalms 84:6). Your mercies are great, O Lord; as is Your rule, preserve me (Psalms 119:156). My mouth shall utter the praise of the Lord, and all creatures shall bless His holy name forever and ever (Psalms 145:21). May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in front of You, Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Of Your awesome might, they³⁴People in general will speak of God’s wondrous might in punishing the wicked (Sodom, Egypt, etc.) while David will proclaim that God’s greatness is measured more by His kindliness than by His awesomeness.—Siach Yitzchok will speak, and Your greatness I will recount. Mention of Your bountifulness they will express, and in Your righteousness joyfully exult. Adonoy is gracious and merciful,³⁵He is gracious in bestowing reward and merciful in punishment.—Siach Yitzchok slow to anger and great in kindliness. Adonoy is good to all, His mercy encompasses all His works. All Your works will thank You, Adonoy, and Your pious ones will bless You.³⁶Your works which are the cause of your being thanked by sensitive people; similarly, cause your pious ones to bless You.—based on S.R. Hirsch. Of the honor of Your kingship, they will speak, and Your might they will declare. To reveal to men His mighty acts, and the glorious splendor of His kingship. Your kingship is the kingship for all times, and Your dominion is in every generation. Adonoy supports all the fallen, and straightens all the bent. The eyes of all look expectantly to You, and You give them their food at its proper time. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living being. Adonoy is just in all His ways and benevolent in all His deeds.³⁷The penalties for transgressions are just, but God is gracious in the actual punishment inflicted on the sinner.—Siddur HaGra Adonoy is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.³⁸He is near to all who call upon Him, but His nearness can be perceived only by those who call upon Him in truth, who truly mean to have God enter into their lives.—S.R. Hirsch The will of those who fear Him, He fulfills; He hears their cry and delivers them.³⁹While God hears all who cry unto Him in truth, He answers those who fear Him, who subject their desires to His will.—Siach Yitzchok Adonoy watches over all those who love Him, and will destroy all the wicked. Praise of Adonoy, my mouth will declare and all flesh will bless His holy Name forever and ever. And we will bless God from now forever. Praise God.⁴⁰ Psalms 115:18.
