Come, let us sing to Adonoy; let us sound the shofar to the Rock of our deliverance.¹Israel will say these words in the days of the Messiah, when Jews will inspire each other to sing to Almighty God Who delivered them.—Radak Let us greet His Presence with thanksgiving,²Expressions of thanksgiving are considered of the highest virtue, as it is said, ‘As for myself, with expressions of thanksgiving I sacrifice to you.’—Jonah 2 with hymns let us raise our voices unto Him. For a great Almighty is Adonoy and a great King over all gods.³‘Are there any other gods?’ asks the Midrash, and answers by citing verse 5 of the next Psalm, ‘All the gods of the nations are idols.’ For in His hands are the depths⁴Metsudas Dovid offers another translation: ‘In His hands are the hidden things of the earth,’ referring to things which require much study and thought in order to be understood. of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are His; For the sea is His, and He made it, and the dry land, His hands formed.

For He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, and the flock of His hand, [even] today⁵It is possible for us to reach this high level and to be accepted as His flock even this very day, if we would hearken to His voice.—Dover Sholom if you will heed His voice. Do not harden your heart as at Merivah, as on the day of Massah⁶The Jews complained and murmured at the lack of water during their wanderings in the wilderness (Exodus 17:1-17; Numbers 20:1-13). in the desert. When your fathers tested Me,⁷The words from here till the end of the Psalm, are the actual words of the Divine Presence that emanated from the throat of Moses, שְׁכִינָה מְדַבֶּרֶת מִתּוֹךְ גְרוֹנוֹ שֶׁל משֶׁה — Eyun Tfiloh they tried Me, though they had seen My work. Forty years I quarreled with that generation; and I said, “They are a people of erring hearts, and they did not know my ways.” Therefore I swore in My anger, “They shall not enter My resting place.”⁸The Holy Land is described as the land of rest (Deuteronomy 12:9).

Come, let us sing to YHVH, and shout for joy to the Rock of our deliverance. Let us come into YHVH’s presence with thanks; let us shout for joy to YHVH with song. For YHVH is a great god, and a great majesty above all gods. In God’s hands are the depths of the earth, and the peaks of the mountains are God’s. The sea is God’s, for God made it; and God’s hands shaped the dry land. Come, let us bow down and bend the knee; let us kneel before YHVH our maker, For YHVH is our god, and we are the people that God shepherds, the flock of God’s hand. Today, if you would but listen to God’s voice! Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, as on the day of Massah, in the wilderness; When your ancestors tested and tried Me, even though they saw My work. For forty years, I was weary with that generation and said: This is a people confused at heart, that do not know My ways. For that reason, I swore in My anger, that they would never enter My resting place.

Almighty of vengeance, Adonoy,¹⁸Psalm 94, “Almighty of vengeance” was sung on the fourth day because God created the sun and the moon on the fourth day, and He will punish those who worship them.—Maseches Rosh Hashana Almighty of vengeance, reveal Yourself. Arise Judge of the earth, repay the arrogant their just reward. How long shall the wicked— Adonoy— how long shall the wicked exult? They express, they speak with arrogance; all the evildoers are boastful. Adonoy, they crush Your people and Your heritage they oppress. The widow and stranger they kill, and orphans they murder. And they say, “God does not see, the God of Jacob is not concerned.” Consider, [you] stupid [ones] among the people,— and you fools when will you become wise? He Who implanted the ear, does He not hear? He Who formed the eye, does He not see? He Who chastises nations, does He not reprove— He that teaches man knowledge? Adonoy knows the thoughts of men, that they are vanity. Fortunate is the man whom You chastise, God, and whom You instruct from Your Torah. To grant him tranquility from days of evil, until the pit is dug for the wicked. for Adonoy will not abandon His people and His inheritance, He will not forsake. For justice shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it. Who will rise up for me against the wicked, who will stand up for me against the evildoers? Had Adonoy not been my help, in an instant my soul would have dwelt in the silent grave. If [Whenever] I said, my foot has slipped, Your kindliness, Adonoy upheld me. When (worrisome) thoughts multiply within me, Your consolations soothe my soul. Can a tribunal of evil have accord with You— [a tribunal] that makes iniquity into law? They gang up against the life of the righteous, and blood of the innocent they condemn. Adonoy has been my stronghold, my God the Rock of my refuge.
