שִׁ֤ירוּ ׀ לֵֽאלֹהִים֮ זַמְּר֪וּ שְׁ֫מ֥וֹ סֹ֡לּוּ לָרֹכֵ֣ב בָּ֭עֲרָבוֹת בְּיָ֥הּ שְׁמ֗וֹ וְעִלְז֥וּ לְפָנָֽיו׃
Śpiewajcie Panu, wysławiajcie Imię Jego; uderzcie w bębny na cześć zasiadającego w niebiosach przy imieniu Jah i radujcie się przed Nim.
Jerusalem Talmud Chagigah
92Gen. rabba 12(9), 1(7). Babli 16a. Rebbi Yudan the Patriarch asked Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman: What means that which is written, Prepare a way for the rider on clouds, His name YH, and jubilate before Him93Ps. 68:5.. He told him, there is no place which does not have one appointed over its life94An otherwise undocumented feminine of Greek m. βίος “life”.. And who is appointed over the lives of all? The Holy One, praise to Him. His name YH, His name: Βια. Rebbi Eleazar told him, your teacher95R. Jonathan. was not explaining in this way, but {a parable} of a king who built a palace on a place of sewers, a place of dung heaps, a place which stinks. One who comes and says, this palace is at a place of sewers, a place of dung heaps, a place which stinks, does he not detract? So he detracts who says, originally the world was water in water9The original meaning of דרש “to investigate” has been changed into the later Amoraic-Medieval “to preach” and the interpretation of the Mishnah changed accordingly.. {A parable} of a king’s orchard and an observation deck built on it, to look at it but not to touch96The orchard is the world, the observation deck is Scripture, which may be enjoyed but may not be used to gain knowledge of the working of the Creation; forbidding Gnosticism..
Chagigah
There are the divine wheels and seraphs and holy beings and ministering angels, and the throne of glory, and the King, the Living God, high and lifted up, dwelling over them in Aravot, as it is said, (Psalms 68:5) "Cast up a highway for him that rides upon the Aravot, his name is Yah." And where is it called heaven? [An exegetical connection] comes "riding"/"riding". It is written, (Psalms 68:5) "Cast up a highway for him that rides upon Aravot," and it is written, (Deuteronomy 33:26) "who rides upon the heaven for Your help."
Megillah
It is written in the Torah, “For the Lord your God, He is the God of gods and Lord of lords,” and it says immediately afterwards, “He executes justice for the orphan and widow” (Deuteronomy 10:17). It is repeated in the Prophets: “For thus said He who high aloft forever dwells, whose name is holy” and it says immediately afterwards, “I dwell on high, in holiness yet with the contrite and lowly spirit” (Isaiah 57:15). It is stated a third time in the [Sacred] Writings, as it is written: “Extol him that rides the clouds, the Lord is his name,” and immediately afterwards it is written, “A father of orphans and a judge of the widows” (Psalms 68:5-6).
