Chapter 113

Translation and Transliteration of 

Listen to this chapter in Hebrew:

1Hallelujah. O servants of Hashem, give praise; praise the name of Hashem.

ha-l'-lu-YAH ha-l'-LU av-DAY a-do-NAI ha-l'-LU et SHAYM a-do-NAI

אהַ֥לְלוּ־יָ֨הּ ׀ הַ֭לְלוּ עַבְדֵ֣י יְהֹוָ֑ה הַֽ֝לְל֗וּ אֶת־שֵׁ֥ם יְהֹוָֽה׃

113:1   O servants of Hashem, give praise

The first verse of this psalm calls on the servants of Hashem to bless the name of Hashem. This reflects a synthesis of the previous two psalms, one focusing on God, and the other on people who fear God. In this psalm, God is raised above all nations, and, at the same time, He raises up the humble and poor in status and in spirit. This is another expression of the vital partnership between Hashem and His people.

2Let the name of Hashem be blessed now and forever.

y'-HI SHEM a-do-NAI m'-vo-RAKH, may-a-TAH v'-ad-o-LAM

ביְהִ֤י שֵׁ֣ם יְהֹוָ֣ה מְבֹרָ֑ךְ מֵ֝עַתָּ֗ה וְעַד־עוֹלָֽם׃

3From east to west the name of Hashem is praised.

mi-miZ-RAKH SHE-mesh ad m'-BO-o, m'-hu-LAL shem a-do-NAI.

גמִמִּזְרַח־שֶׁ֥מֶשׁ עַד־מְבוֹא֑וֹ מְ֝הֻלָּ֗ל שֵׁ֣ם יְהֹוָֽה׃

4Hashem is exalted above all nations; His glory is above the heavens.

5Who is like Hashem our God, who, enthroned on high,
