Chronological
95 O come, let us sing unto Hashem; let us make a joyful noise to the Tzur of our salvation.
2 Let us come before His presence with todah, and extol Him with zemirot (joyful songs).
3 For Hashem is El Gadol, and Melech Gadol above kol elohim (g-ds).
4 In His yad are the deep places of ha’aretz; the peaks of the harim are His also.
5 The yam is His, and He made it; and His hands formed the yabashah (dry land).
6 O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before Hashem Oseinu (our Maker).
7 For He is Eloheinu; and we are the people of His pasture, and the tzon of His yad. Today if ye will hear His voice,
8 Harden not your lev, as in Merivah, and as in the Yom Massah in the midbar;
9 When your avot tested Me, tried Me, and saw My work.
10 Arba’im shanah was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do stray in their lev, and they have no da’as of My ways;
11 Unto whom I swore an oath in My wrath that they should not enter into My menuchah.
97 Hashem reigneth; let ha’aretz rejoice; let the multitude of isles thereof be glad.
2 Anan and darkness are round about Him; tzedek and mishpat are the foundation of His kisse.
3 Eish goeth before Him, and burneth up His enemies on every side.
4 His lightnings light up the tevel; ha’aretz saw, and trembled.
5 The harim melted like wax at the presence of Hashem, at the presence of Adon kol HaAretz.
6 HaShomayim declare His tzedek, and kol ha’amim see His kavod.
7 Shamed be all they that serve pesel, that boast themselves of elilim; worship Him, kol elohim.
8 Tziyon heard, and was glad; and the banot Yehudah rejoiced because of Thy mishpatim, Hashem.
9 For Thou, Hashem, art Elyon above kol ha’aretz; Thou art exalted far above kol elohim.
10 Ye that love Hashem, hate rah; He preserveth the nefashot of His chasidim; He delivereth them out of the yad resha’im.
11 Ohr dawns for the tzaddik, and simchah for the yishrei lev (upright in heart).
12 Rejoice in Hashem, ye tzaddikim; and give thanks at the remembrance of His kodesh (holiness).
98 (A Mizmor) O sing unto Hashem a shir chadash; for He hath done marvellous things; His right hand, and His zero’a kodesh, hath gotten Him victory.
2 Hashem hath made known His Yeshuah (salvation); His tzedek hath He openly showed in the sight of the Goyim.
3 He hath remembered His chesed and His emes toward the Bais Yisroel; all the ends of ha’aretz have seen the Yeshu’at Eloheinu (salvation of our G-d).
4 Make a joyful noise unto Hashem, kol ha’aretz; make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
5 Sing unto Hashem with the kinnor; with the kinnor, and the voice of singing.
6 With trumpets and sound of the shofar make a joyful noise before HaMelech Hashem.
7 Let the yam roar, and the fullness thereof; the tevel, and they that dwell therein.
8 Let the floods clap their hands; let the harim be joyful together
9 Before Hashem; for He cometh to judge ha’aretz; with tzedek shall He judge the tevel, and the people with meisharim (uprightness).
99 Hashem reigneth; let the nations tremble; He sitteth between the keruvim; let ha’aretz be shaken.
2 Hashem is great in Tziyon; and He is high above all the nations.
3 Let them praise Thy Shem gadol v’nora; for it is kadosh.
4 The Mighty King also loveth mishpat; Thou dost establish equity, Thou executest mishpat and tzedakah in Ya’akov.
5 Exalt ye Hashem Eloheinu, and worship at His footstool; for He is kadosh.
6 Moshe and Aharon among His kohanim, and Shmuel among them that call upon Shmo; they called upon Hashem, and He answered them.
7 He spoke unto them in the ammud anan (pillar of cloud); they were shomer over His statutes, and the chok (ordinance) that He gave them.
8 Thou answeredst them, Hashem Eloheinu; Thou wast El (G-d) that forgavest them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.
9 Exalt Hashem Eloheinu, and worship at His Har Kodesh; for Hashem Eloheinu is kadosh.
