Where Sing appears in Scripture
אָז יָשִֽׁיר-מֹשֶׁה וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת לַֽיהוָה וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ לֵאמֹר אָשִׁירָה לַֽיהוָה כִּֽי-גָאֹה גָּאָה סוּס וְרֹֽכְבוֹ רָמָה בַיָּֽם׃
Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
וַתַּעַן לָהֶם מִרְיָם שִׁירוּ לַֽיהוָה כִּֽי-גָאֹה גָּאָה סוּס וְרֹֽכְבוֹ רָמָה בַיָּֽם׃
And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.
אָז יָשִׁיר יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת-הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת עֲלִי בְאֵר עֱנוּ-לָֽהּ׃
Then Israel sang this song, Spring up, O well; sing ye unto it:
וַתָּשַׁר דְּבוֹרָה וּבָרָק בֶּן-אֲבִינֹעַם בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא לֵאמֹֽר׃
Then sang Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam on that day, saying,
שִׁמְעוּ מְלָכִים הַֽאֲזִינוּ רֹֽזְנִים אָֽנֹכִי לַֽיהוָה אָֽנֹכִי אָשִׁירָה אֲזַמֵּר לַֽיהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Hear, O ye kings; give ear, O ye princes; I, even I, will sing unto the LORD; I will sing praise to the LORD God of Israel.
וַיְהִי בְּבוֹאָם בְּשׁוּב דָּוִד מֵֽהַכּוֹת אֶת-הַפְּלִשְׁתִּי וַתֵּצֶאנָה הַנָּשִׁים מִכָּל-עָרֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל (לשור) לָשִׁיר וְהַמְּחֹלוֹת לִקְרַאת שָׁאוּל הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּתֻפִּים בְּשִׂמְחָה וּבְשָֽׁלִשִֽׁים׃
And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick.
בֶּן-שְׁמֹנִים שָׁנָה אָֽנֹכִי הַיּוֹם הַֽאֵדַע׀ בֵּֽין-טוֹב לְרָע אִם-יִטְעַם עַבְדְּךָ אֶת-אֲשֶׁר אֹכַל וְאֶת-אֲשֶׁר אֶשְׁתֶּה אִם-אֶשְׁמַע עוֹד בְּקוֹל שָׁרִים וְשָׁרוֹת וְלָמָּה יִֽהְיֶה עַבְדְּךָ עוֹד לְמַשָּׂא אֶל-אֲדֹנִי הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
I am this day fourscore years old: and can I discern between good and evil? can thy servant taste what I eat or what I drink? can I hear any more the voice of singing men and singing women? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a burden unto my lord the king?
וַיַּעַשׂ הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-עֲצֵי הָֽאַלְמֻגִּים מִסְעָד לְבֵית-יְהוָה וּלְבֵית הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכִנֹּרוֹת וּנְבָלִים לַשָּׁרִים לֹא בָא-כֵן עֲצֵי אַלְמֻגִּים וְלֹא נִרְאָה עַד הַיּוֹם הַזֶּֽה׃
And the king made of the almug trees pillars for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.
וְאֵלֶּה הָעֹֽמְדִים וּבְנֵיהֶם מִבְּנֵי הַקְּהָתִי הֵימָן הַמְשׁוֹרֵר בֶּן-יוֹאֵל בֶּן-שְׁמוּאֵֽל׃
And these are they that waited with their children. Of the sons of the Kohathites: Heman a singer, the son of Joel, the son of Shemuel,
וְאֵלֶּה הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים רָאשֵׁי אָבוֹת לַלְוִיִּם בַּלְּשָׁכֹת (פטירים) פְּטוּרִים כִּֽי-יוֹמָם וָלַיְלָה עֲלֵיהֶם בַּמְּלָאכָֽה׃
And these are the singers, chief of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night.
וַיֹּאמֶר דָּוִיד לְשָׂרֵי הַלְוִיִּם לְהַֽעֲמִיד אֶת-אֲחֵיהֶם הַמְשֹׁרְרִים בִּכְלֵי-שִׁיר נְבָלִים וְכִנֹּרוֹת וּמְצִלְתָּיִם מַשְׁמִיעִים לְהָרִֽים-בְּקוֹל לְשִׂמְחָֽה׃
And David spake to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers with instruments of musick, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding, by lifting up the voice with joy.
וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִים הֵימָן אָסָף וְאֵיתָן בִּמְצִלְתַּיִם נְחֹשֶׁת לְהַשְׁמִֽיעַ׃
So the singers, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were appointed to sound with cymbals of brass;
וְדָוִיד מְכֻרְבָּל׀ בִּמְעִיל בּוּץ וְכָל-הַלְוִיִּם הַנֹּֽשְׂאִים אֶת-הָֽאָרוֹן וְהַמְשֹׁרְרִים וּכְנַנְיָה הַשַּׂר הַמַּשָּׂא הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְעַל-דָּוִיד אֵפוֹד בָּֽד׃
And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the singers, and Chenaniah the master of the song with the singers: David also had upon him an ephod of linen.
שִׁירוּ לוֹ זַמְּרוּ-לוֹ שִׂיחוּ בְּכָל-נִפְלְאֹתָֽיו׃
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
שִׁירוּ לַֽיהוָה כָּל-הָאָרֶץ בַּשְּׂרוּ מִיּֽוֹם-אֶל-יוֹם יְשֽׁוּעָתֽוֹ׃
Sing unto the LORD, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.
וְהַלְוִיִּם הַמְשֹׁרֲרִים לְכֻלָּם לְאָסָף לְהֵימָן לִֽידֻתוּן וְלִבְנֵיהֶם וְלַֽאֲחֵיהֶם מְלֻבָּשִׁים בּוּץ בִּמְצִלְתַּיִם וּבִנְבָלִים וְכִנֹּרוֹת עֹֽמְדִים מִזְרָח לַמִּזְבֵּחַ וְעִמָּהֶם כֹּֽהֲנִים לְמֵאָה וְעֶשְׂרִים (מחצררים) מַחְצְרִים בַּחֲצֹֽצְרֽוֹת׃
Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets:)
וַיְהִי כְאֶחָד (למחצצרים) לַמְחַצְּרִים וְלַמְשֹֽׁרֲרִים לְהַשְׁמִיעַ קוֹל-אֶחָד לְהַלֵּל וּלְהֹדוֹת לַֽיהוָה וּכְהָרִים קוֹל בַּחֲצֹֽצְרוֹת וּבִמְצִלְתַּיִם וּבִכְלֵי הַשִּׁיר וּבְהַלֵּל לַֽיהוָה כִּי טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ וְהַבַּיִת מָלֵא עָנָן בֵּית יְהוָֽה׃
It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the LORD; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and praised the LORD, saying, For he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the LORD;
וַיַּעַשׂ הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶת-עֲצֵי הָֽאַלְגּוּמִּים מְסִלּוֹת לְבֵית-יְהוָה וּלְבֵית הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכִנֹּרוֹת וּנְבָלִים לַשָּׁרִים וְלֹֽא-נִרְאוּ כָהֵם לְפָנִים בְּאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָֽה׃
And the king made of the algum trees terraces to the house of the LORD, and to the king's palace, and harps and psalteries for singers: and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.
וַיִּוָּעַץ אֶל-הָעָם וַיַּֽעֲמֵד מְשֹֽׁרֲרִים לַֽיהוָה וּֽמְהַלְלִים לְהַדְרַת-קֹדֶשׁ בְּצֵאת לִפְנֵי הֶֽחָלוּץ וְאֹֽמְרִים הוֹדוּ לַֽיהוָה כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃
And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.
וַתֵּרֶא וְהִנֵּה הַמֶּלֶךְ עוֹמֵד עַֽל-עַמּוּדוֹ בַּמָּבוֹא וְהַשָּׂרִים וְהַחֲצֹֽצְרוֹת עַל-הַמֶּלֶךְ וְכָל-עַם הָאָרֶץ שָׂמֵחַ וְתוֹקֵעַ בַּחֲצֹצְרוֹת וְהַמְשֽׁוֹרֲרִים בִּכְלֵי הַשִּׁיר וּמֽוֹדִיעִים לְהַלֵּל וַתִּקְרַע עֲתַלְיָהוּ אֶת-בְּגָדֶיהָ וַתֹּאמֶר קֶשֶׁר קָֽשֶׁר׃
And she looked, and, behold, the king stood at his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the trumpets by the king: and all the people of the land rejoiced, and sounded with trumpets, also the singers with instruments of musick, and such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and said, Treason, Treason.
וְכָל-הַקָּהָל מִֽשְׁתַּחֲוִים וְהַשִּׁיר מְשׁוֹרֵר וְהַחֲצֹֽצְרוֹת (מחצצרים) מַחְצְרִים הַכֹּל עַד לִכְלוֹת הָֽעֹלָֽה׃
And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded: and all this continued until the burnt offering was finished.
וְהַמְשֹֽׁרֲרִים בְּנֵֽי-אָסָף עַל-מַֽעֲמָדָם כְּמִצְוַת דָּוִיד וְאָסָף וְהֵימָן וִֽידֻתוּן חוֹזֵה הַמֶּלֶךְ וְהַשֹּֽׁעֲרִים לְשַׁעַר וָשָׁעַר אֵין לָהֶם לָסוּר מֵעַל עֲבֹֽדָתָם כִּֽי-אֲחֵיהֶם הַלְוִיִּם הֵכִינוּ לָהֶֽם׃
And the singers the sons of Asaph were in their place, according to the commandment of David, and Asaph, and Heman, and Jeduthun the king's seer; and the porters waited at every gate; they might not depart from their service; for their brethren the Levites prepared for them.
וַיְקוֹנֵן יִרְמְיָהוּ עַל-יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ וַיֹּֽאמְרוּ כָֽל-הַשָּׁרִים׀ וְהַשָּׁרוֹת בְּקִינוֹתֵיהֶם עַל-יֹֽאשִׁיָּהוּ עַד-הַיּוֹם וַיִּתְּנוּם לְחֹק עַל-יִשְׂרָאֵל וְהִנָּם כְּתוּבִים עַל-הַקִּינֽוֹת׃
And Jeremiah lamented for Josiah: and all the singing men and the singing women spake of Josiah in their lamentations to this day, and made them an ordinance in Israel: and, behold, they are written in the lamentations.
הַֽמְשֹׁרְרִים בְּנֵי אָסָף מֵאָה עֶשְׂרִים וּשְׁמֹנָֽה׃
The singers: the children of Asaph, an hundred twenty and eight.
מִלְּבַד עַבְדֵיהֶם וְאַמְהֹֽתֵיהֶם אֵלֶּה שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת שְׁלֹשִׁים וְשִׁבְעָה וְלָהֶם מְשֹֽׁרְרִים וּֽמְשֹׁרְרוֹת מָאתָֽיִם׃
Beside their servants and their maids, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and there were among them two hundred singing men and singing women.
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וּֽמִן-הָעָם וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַנְּתִינִים בְּעָֽרֵיהֶם וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶֽם׃
So the priests, and the Levites, and some of the people, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, dwelt in their cities, and all Israel in their cities.
וַיַּֽעֲלוּ מִבְּנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל וּמִן-הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַשֹּֽׁעֲרִים וְהַנְּתִינִים אֶל-יְרֽוּשָׁלִָם בִּשְׁנַת-שֶׁבַע לְאַרְתַּחְשַׁסְתְּא הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And there went up some of the children of Israel, and of the priests, and the Levites, and the singers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.
וּמִן-הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים אֶלְיָשִׁיב וּמִן-הַשֹּׁעֲרִים שַׁלֻּם וָטֶלֶם וְאוּרִֽי׃
Of the singers also; Eliashib: and of the porters; Shallum, and Telem, and Uri.
וַיְהִי כַּֽאֲשֶׁר נִבְנְתָה הַֽחוֹמָה וָאַֽעֲמִיד הַדְּלָתוֹת וַיִּפָּקְדוּ הַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַלְוִיִּֽם׃
Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,
הַֽמְשֹׁרְרִים בְּנֵי אָסָף מֵאָה אַרְבָּעִים וּשְׁמֹנָֽה׃
The singers: the children of Asaph, an hundred forty and eight.
מִלְּבַד עַבְדֵיהֶם וְאַמְהֹֽתֵיהֶם אֵלֶּה שִׁבְעַת אֲלָפִים שְׁלֹשׁ מֵאוֹת שְׁלֹשִׁים וְשִׁבְעָה וְלָהֶם מְשֹֽׁרֲרִים וּמְשֹׁרֲרוֹת מָאתַיִם וְאַרְבָּעִים וַֽחֲמִשָּֽׁה׃
Beside their manservants and their maidservants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven: and they had two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women.
וַיֵּֽשְׁבוּ הַכֹּֽהֲנִים וְהַלְוִיִּם וְהַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וּמִן-הָעָם וְהַנְּתִינִים וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶם וַיִּגַּע הַחֹדֶשׁ הַשְּׁבִיעִי וּבְנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל בְּעָֽרֵיהֶֽם׃
So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinims, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities; and when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.
וּשְׁאָר הָעָם הַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַלְוִיִּם הַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים הַנְּתִינִים וְֽכָל-הַנִּבְדָּל מֵֽעַמֵּי הָֽאֲרָצוֹת אֶל-תּוֹרַת הָֽאֱלֹהִים נְשֵׁיהֶם בְּנֵיהֶם וּבְנֹֽתֵיהֶם כֹּל יוֹדֵעַ מֵבִֽין׃
And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the porters, the singers, the Nethinims, and all they that had separated themselves from the people of the lands unto the law of God, their wives, their sons, and their daughters, every one having knowledge, and having understanding;
כִּי אֶל-הַלְּשָׁכוֹת יָבִיאוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל וּבְנֵי הַלֵּוִי אֶת-תְּרוּמַת הַדָּגָן הַתִּירוֹשׁ וְהַיִּצְהָר וְשָׁם כְּלֵי הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וְהַכֹּֽהֲנִים הַמְשָׁרְתִים וְהַשּֽׁוֹעֲרִים וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְלֹא נַֽעֲזֹב אֶת-בֵּית אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃
For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the corn, of the new wine, and the oil, unto the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the porters, and the singers: and we will not forsake the house of our God.
וּפְקִיד הַלְוִיִּם בִּירוּשָׁלִַם עֻזִּי בֶן-בָּנִי בֶּן-חֲשַׁבְיָה בֶּן-מַתַּנְיָה בֶּן-מִיכָא מִבְּנֵי אָסָף הַמְשֹׁרְרִים לְנֶגֶד מְלֶאכֶת בֵּית-הָֽאֱלֹהִֽים׃
The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micha. Of the sons of Asaph, the singers were over the business of the house of God.
כִּֽי-מִצְוַת הַמֶּלֶךְ עֲלֵיהֶם וַֽאֲמָנָה עַל-הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים דְּבַר-יוֹם בְּיוֹמֽוֹ׃
For it was the king's commandment concerning them, that a certain portion should be for the singers, due for every day.
וַיֵּאָסְפוּ בְּנֵי הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וּמִן-הַכִּכָּר סְבִיבוֹת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַם וּמִן-חַצְרֵי נְטֹֽפָתִֽי׃
And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country round about Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;
וּמִבֵּית הַגִּלְגָּל וּמִשְּׂדוֹת גֶּבַע וְעַזְמָוֶת כִּי חֲצֵרִים בָּנוּ לָהֶם הַמְשֹׁרֲרִים סְבִיבוֹת יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
Also from the house of Gilgal, and out of the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem.
וּמַֽעֲשֵׂיָה וּֽשְׁמַֽעְיָה וְאֶלְעָזָר וְעֻזִּי וִֽיהוֹחָנָן וּמַלְכִּיָּה וְעֵילָם וָעָזֶר וַיַּשְׁמִיעוּ הַמְשֹׁרְרִים וְיִֽזְרַחְיָה הַפָּקִֽיד׃
And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
וַֽיִּשְׁמְרוּ מִשְׁמֶרֶת אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶם וּמִשְׁמֶרֶת הַֽטָּהֳרָה וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַשֹּֽׁעֲרִים כְּמִצְוַת דָּוִיד שְׁלֹמֹה בְנֽוֹ׃
And both the singers and the porters kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
כִּֽי-בִימֵי דָוִיד וְאָסָף מִקֶּדֶם (ראש) רָאשֵׁי הַמְשֹׁרְרִים וְשִׁיר-תְּהִלָּה וְהֹדוֹת לֵֽאלֹהִֽים׃
For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were chief of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving unto God.
וְכָל-יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּימֵי זְרֻבָּבֶל וּבִימֵי נְחֶמְיָה נֹֽתְנִים מְנָיוֹת הַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַשֹּֽׁעֲרִים דְּבַר-יוֹם בְּיוֹמוֹ וּמַקְדִּשִׁים לַלְוִיִּם וְהַלְוִיִּם מַקְדִּשִׁים לִבְנֵי אַֽהֲרֹֽן׃
And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things unto the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them unto the children of Aaron.
וַיַּעַשׂ לוֹ לִשְׁכָּה גְדוֹלָה וְשָׁם הָיוּ לְפָנִים נֹֽתְנִים אֶת-הַמִּנְחָה הַלְּבוֹנָה וְהַכֵּלִים וּמַעְשַׂר הַדָּגָן הַתִּירוֹשׁ וְהַיִּצְהָר מִצְוַת הַלְוִיִּם וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים וְהַשֹּׁעֲרִים וּתְרוּמַת הַכֹּֽהֲנִֽים׃
And he had prepared for him a great chamber, where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the frankincense, and the vessels, and the tithes of the corn, the new wine, and the oil, which was commanded to be given to the Levites, and the singers, and the porters; and the offerings of the priests.
וָאֵדְעָה כִּֽי-מְנָיוֹת הַלְוִיִּם לֹא נִתָּנָה וַיִּבְרְחוּ אִישׁ-לְשָׂדֵהוּ הַלְוִיִּם וְהַמְשֹֽׁרְרִים עֹשֵׂי הַמְּלָאכָֽה׃
And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them: for the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.
זְכֹר כִּֽי-תַשְׂגִּיא פָעֳלוֹ אֲשֶׁר שֹׁרְרוּ אֲנָשִֽׁים׃
Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
אָשִׁירָה לַיהוָה כִּי גָמַל עָלָֽי׃
I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
רוּמָה יְהוָה בְעֻזֶּךָ נָשִׁירָה וּֽנְזַמְּרָה גְּבוּרָתֶֽךָ׃
Be thou exalted, LORD, in thine own strength: so will we sing and praise thy power.
וְעַתָּה יָרוּם רֹאשִׁי עַל אֹֽיְבַי סְֽבִיבוֹתַי וְאֶזְבְּחָה בְאָהֳלוֹ זִבְחֵי תְרוּעָה אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמְּרָה לַיהוָֽה׃
And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
שִֽׁירוּ-לוֹ שִׁיר חָדָשׁ הֵיטִיבוּ נַגֵּן בִּתְרוּעָֽה׃
Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
נָכוֹן לִבִּי אֱלֹהִים נָכוֹן לִבִּי אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמֵּֽרָה׃
My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise.
וַאֲנִי׀ אָשִׁיר עֻזֶּךָ וַאֲרַנֵּן לַבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ כִּֽי-הָיִיתָ מִשְׂגָּב לִי וּמָנוֹס בְּיוֹם צַר-לִֽי׃
But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing aloud of thy mercy in the morning: for thou hast been my defence and refuge in the day of my trouble.
לָבְשׁוּ כָרִים׀ הַצֹּאן וַעֲמָקִים יַֽעַטְפוּ-בָר יִתְרוֹעֲעוּ אַף-יָשִֽׁירוּ׃
The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
שִׁירוּ׀ לֵֽאלֹהִים זַמְּרוּ שְׁמוֹ סֹלּוּ לָרֹכֵב בָּעֲרָבוֹת בְּיָהּ שְׁמוֹ וְעִלְזוּ לְפָנָֽיו׃
Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH, and rejoice before him.
קִדְּמוּ שָׁרִים אַחַר נֹגְנִים בְּתוֹךְ עֲלָמוֹת תּוֹפֵפֽוֹת׃
The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
מַמְלְכוֹת הָאָרֶץ שִׁירוּ לֵאלֹהִים זַמְּרוּ אֲדֹנָי סֶֽלָה׃
Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the Lord; Selah:
וְשָׁרִים כְּחֹלְלִים כָּֽל-מַעְיָנַי בָּֽךְ׃
As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
חַֽסְדֵי יְהוָה עוֹלָם אָשִׁירָה לְדֹר וָדֹר׀ אוֹדִיעַ אֱמוּנָתְךָ בְּפִֽי׃
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה שִׁיר חָדָשׁ שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה כָּל-הָאָֽרֶץ׃
O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה בָּרֲכוּ שְׁמוֹ בַּשְּׂרוּ מִיּֽוֹם-לְיוֹם יְשׁוּעָתֽוֹ׃
Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
שִׁירוּ לַֽיהוָה׀ שִׁיר חָדָשׁ כִּֽי-נִפְלָאוֹת עָשָׂה הוֹשִֽׁיעָה-לּוֹ יְמִינוֹ וּזְרוֹעַ קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃
O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
חֶֽסֶד-וּמִשְׁפָּט אָשִׁירָה לְךָ יְהוָה אֲזַמֵּֽרָה׃
I will sing of mercy and judgment: unto thee, O LORD, will I sing.
אָשִׁירָה לַיהוָה בְּחַיָּי אֲזַמְּרָה לֵאלֹהַי בְּעוֹדִֽי׃
I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
שִֽׁירוּ-לוֹ זַמְּרוּ-לוֹ שִׂיחוּ בְּכָל-נִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו׃
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בִדְבָרָיו יָשִׁירוּ תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃
Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
נָכוֹן לִבִּי אֱלֹהִים אָשִׁירָה וַאֲזַמְּרָה אַף-כְּבוֹדִֽי׃
O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.
כִּי שָׁם שְֽׁאֵלוּנוּ שׁוֹבֵינוּ דִּבְרֵי-שִׁיר וְתוֹלָלֵינוּ שִׂמְחָה שִׁירוּ לָנוּ מִשִּׁיר צִיּֽוֹן׃
For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
אֵיךְ נָשִׁיר אֶת-שִׁיר-יְהוָה עַל אַדְמַת נֵכָֽר׃
How shall we sing the LORD's song in a strange land?
וְיָשִׁירוּ בְּדַרְכֵי יְהוָה כִּֽי-גָדוֹל כְּבוֹד יְהוָֽה׃
Yea, they shall sing in the ways of the LORD: for great is the glory of the LORD.
אֱֽלֹהִים שִׁיר חָדָשׁ אָשִׁירָה לָּךְ בְּנֵבֶל עָשׂוֹר אֲזַמְּרָה-לָּֽךְ׃
I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee.
הַלְלוּ יָהּ׀ שִׁירוּ לַֽיהוָה שִׁיר חָדָשׁ תְּהִלָּתוֹ בִּקְהַל חֲסִידִֽים׃
Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
מַעֲדֶה-בֶּגֶד׀ בְּיוֹם קָרָה חֹמֶץ עַל-נָתֶר וְשָׁר בַּשִּׁרִים עַל לֶב-רָֽע׃
As he that taketh away a garment in cold weather, and as vinegar upon nitre, so is he that singeth songs to an heavy heart.
כָּנַסְתִּי לִי גַּם-כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב וּסְגֻלַּת מְלָכִים וְהַמְּדִינוֹת עָשִׂיתִי לִי שָׁרִים וְשָׁרוֹת וְתַעֲנוּגֹת בְּנֵי הָאָדָם שִׁדָּה וְשִׁדּֽוֹת׃
I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
אָשִׁירָה נָּא לִֽידִידִי שִׁירַת דּוֹדִי לְכַרְמוֹ כֶּרֶם הָיָה לִֽידִידִי בְּקֶרֶן בֶּן-שָֽׁמֶן׃
Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא יוּשַׁר הַשִּׁיר-הַזֶּה בְּאֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה עִיר עָז-לָנוּ יְשׁוּעָה יָשִׁית חוֹמוֹת וָחֵֽל׃
In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks.
שִׁירוּ לַֽיהוָה שִׁיר חָדָשׁ תְּהִלָּתוֹ מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ יוֹרְדֵי הַיָּם וּמְלֹאוֹ אִיִּים וְיֹשְׁבֵיהֶֽם׃
Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.
שִׁירוּ לַֽיהוָה הַֽלְלוּ אֶת-יְהוָה כִּי הִצִּיל אֶת-נֶפֶשׁ אֶבְיוֹן מִיַּד מְרֵעִֽים׃
Sing unto the LORD, praise ye the LORD: for he hath delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.
וּמִחוּצָה לַשַּׁעַר הַפְּנִימִי לִֽשְׁכוֹת שָׁרִים בֶּחָצֵר הַפְּנִימִי אֲשֶׁר אֶל-כֶּתֶף שַׁעַר הַצָּפוֹן וּפְנֵיהֶם דֶּרֶךְ הַדָּרוֹם אֶחָד אֶל-כֶּתֶף שַׁעַר הַקָּדִים פְּנֵי דֶּרֶךְ הַצָּפֹֽן׃
And without the inner gate were the chambers of the singers in the inner court, which was at the side of the north gate; and their prospect was toward the south: one at the side of the east gate having the prospect toward the north.
וְרָבְצוּ בְתוֹכָהּ עֲדָרִים כָּל-חַיְתוֹ-גוֹי גַּם-קָאַת גַּם-קִפֹּד בְּכַפְתֹּרֶיהָ יָלִינוּ קוֹל יְשׁוֹרֵר בַּֽחַלּוֹן חֹרֶב בַּסַּף כִּי אַרְזָה עֵרָֽה׃
And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.
שִׁגָּיוֹן לְדָוִד אֲשֶׁר-שָׁר לַיהוָה עַל-דִּבְרֵי-כוּשׁ בֶּן-יְמִינִֽי׃
Shiggaion of David, which he sang unto the LORD, concerning the words of Cush the Benjamite.
