about

This melody is for liturgy that praises the eternal attribute of lovingkindness.

This recording shows two different places it can be used, in liturgy that shares this core message. The first is in Hallel (a praise section of liturgy reserved for holidays and new moons) and the second is found in Psukei D'zimra on Shabbat & Festivals (the consistent praise section of liturgy that has special additions on Shabbos & holidays, such as this song!)

lyrics

הוֹדוּ לַה' כִּי טוֹב - כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ
יֹאמַר נָא יִשְׂרָאֵל - כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ
יֹאמְרוּ נָא בֵית אַהֲרֹן - כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ
יֹאמְרוּ נָא יִרְאֵי יְהֹוָה - כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ

Hodu l’Adonai ki tov - ki l’olam chasdo
Yomar na yisrael - ki l’olam chasdo
Yomru na beit Aharon - ki l’olam chasdo
Yomru na yirei Adonai - ki l’olam chasdo

הוֹדוּ לַה' כִּי-טוֹב: כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ.
הוֹדוּ, לֵאלֹהֵי הָאֱלֹהִים: כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ.
הוֹדוּ, לַאֲדֹנֵי הָאֲדֹנִים: כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ.
לְעֹשֵׂה נִפְלָאוֹת גְּדֹלוֹת לְבַדּוֹ: כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ.
לְעֹשֵׂה הַשָּׁמַיִם, בִּתְבוּנָה: כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ.
לְרֹקַע הָאָרֶץ, עַל-הַמָּיִם: כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ.
לְעֹשֵׂה, אוֹרִים גְּדֹלִים: כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ.
אֶת-הַשֶּׁמֶשׁ, לְמֶמְשֶׁלֶת בַּיּוֹם: כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ.
[אֶת-הַיָּרֵחַ וְכוֹכָבִים, לְמֶמְשְׁלוֹת בַּלָּיְלָה: כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ.]

Hodu l'adonai ki tov ki l'olam chasdo
Hodu l'ei'lohei ha'elohim ki l'olam chasdo
Hodu l'adonai ha'adonim ki l'olam chasdo
L'osai nifla'ot gedolot levado ki l'olam chasdo
L'osai ha'shamayim bi'tvunah ki l'olam chasdo
L'roka ha'aretz al ha'mayim ki l'olam chasd
L'oseai orim gedolim ki l'olam chasdo
Et ha'shemesh l'memshelet bayom ki l'olam chasdo
Et ha'yareach v'kochavim l'memsilot ba'laila, ki l'olam chasdo

Translation:

Give gratitude to hashem (spirit/g!d/life force/etc.), because they are good, because their chesed (lovingkindness) is eternal

Let yisrael(our people/g?d wrestlers) please say: their chesed (lovingkindness)is eternal!

Let the house of Aharon (the priests/witches/magic weavers/spirit workers) please say: their chesed (lovingkindness)is eternal!

Let those who are in fear/awe of YHVH (existence/hashem/all time and space)please say: their chesed (lovingkindness)is eternal!

Offer gratitude to YHVH (existence/g?d/life force...) because they are good, because their chesed (lovingkindness) is eternal

Offer gratitude to the unifying power that is within all powers, because it's chesed (lovingkindness) is eternal

Offer gratitude to the *boss* (in a positive sense of the word) of all bosses, because their chesed is eternal

To the one who is responsible for miracles and wonder, because their chesed is eternal

To the one weaves the heavens with understanding, because their chesed is eternal

To the spreading of earth over waters, because their chesed is eternal

To the former of great light/luminaries/illumination, because their chesed is eternal

The sun that reigns in the day, because their chesed is eternal

The moon and stars that reign at night, because their chesed is eternal
