הודו

הוֹדוּ לַיהוָֹה קִרְאוּ בִשְׁמוֹ הוֹדִֽיעוּ בָעַמִּים עֲלִילֹתָיו: שִֽׁירוּ לוֹ זַמְּ֒רוּ־לוֹ שִֽׂיחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְ֒אוֹתָיו: הִתְהַלְּ֒לוּ בְּשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ יִשְׂמַח לֵב מְבַקְשֵׁי יְהֹוָה: דִּרְשׁוּ יְהֹוָה וְעֻזּוֹ בַּקְּ֒שׁוּ פָנָיו תָּמִיד: זִכְרוּ נִפְלְ֒אֹתָיו אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה מֹפְ֒תָיו וּמִשְׁפְּ֒טֵי־פִֽיהוּ: זֶֽרַע יִשְׂרָאֵל עַבְדּוֹ בְּנֵי יַעֲקֹב בְּחִירָיו: הוּא יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ בְּכָל־הָאָֽרֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָיו: זִכְרוּ לְעוֹלָם בְּרִיתוֹ דָּבָר צִוָּה לְאֶֽלֶף דּוֹר: אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָם וּשְׁבוּעָתוֹ לְיִצְחָק: וַיַּעֲמִידֶֽהָ לְיַעֲקֹב לְחֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל בְּרִית עוֹלָם: לֵאמֹר לְךָ אֶתֵּן אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָעַן חֶֽבֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶם: בִּהְיוֹתְ֒כֶם מְתֵי מִסְפָּר כִּמְעַט וְגָרִים בָּהּ: וַיִּתְהַלְּ֒כוּ מִגּוֹי אֶל־גּוֹי וּמִמַּמְלָכָה אֶל־עַם אַחֵר: לֹא־הִנִּֽיחַ לְאִישׁ לְעָשְׁקָם וַיּֽוֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶם מְלָכִים: אַל־תִּגְּ֒עוּ בִּמְשִׁיחָי וּבִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ: שִֽׁירוּ לַיהוָֹה כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ בַּשְּׂ֒רוּ מִיּוֹם־אֶל־יוֹם יְשׁוּעָתוֹ: סַפְּ֒רוּ בַגּוֹיִם אֶת־כְּבוֹדוֹ בְּכָל־הָעַמִּים נִפְלְאֹתָיו: כִּי גָדוֹל יְהֹוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד וְנוֹרָא הוּא עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִים: כִּי כָּל־אֱלֹהֵי הָעַמִּים אֱלִילִים וַיהוָֹה שָׁמַֽיִם עָשָׂה:

Make His Divine attributes (mercy, kindness, etc.) known to the world.—Siach Yitzchok

The Jew should be proud at being found worthy to utter God’s Name.—Siddur HaGra

Seeking God is an end in itself and provides joy to those who earnestly seek Him.—Siach Yitzchok

His “miracles” were witnessed by Jew and Egyptian alike in Egypt. His “laws” are the Torah He gave us at Mt. Sinai.—Iyun Tefillah

The entire section—the previous verses as well as the following verses—are addressed to the Jewish People, who are the seed of Israel, the chosen of God, who are asked to remember His wonders, miracles and laws.—Tzelosa d’Avrohom

This verse in following the preceding verse indicates that the original covenant which God made with Abraham was later confirmed to Isaac in an oath and then established for Jacob as a statute. After Jacob was given the name Israel, it became an everlasting covenant.—Tzelosa d’Avrohom

Both Pharaoh and Avimclcch were admonished for Abraham’s sake (Genesis 13:17; 20:3,7).

The Hebrew word משיחי can also be translated as “My great ones” and as such refers to the Patriarchs. “My prophets” refers to the Matriarchs, who were known to be prophets. Both were afforded extraordinary Divine protection.—Etz Yosef

Siach Yitzchok maintains that this verse directs Jewry to sing to God in all the lands in which they are dispersed during their exile. Tzelosa d’Avrohom understands the verse to direct all the nations of the earth to sing to God.

a) We are to proclaim our deliverance by God even 7 day; b) We are to proclaim that our deliverance by God is a daily experience.—Tzelosa d’Avrohom

הוֹד וְהָדָר לְפָנָיו עֹז וְחֶדְוָה בִּמְקֹמוֹ: הָבוּ לַיהוָֹה מִשְׁפְּ֒חוֹת עַמִּים הָבוּ לַיהוָֹה כָּבוֹד וָעֹז: הָבוּ לַיהוָֹה כְּבוֹד שְׁמוֹ שְׂאוּ מִנְחָה וּבֹֽאוּ לְפָנָיו הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַיהוָֹה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹֽדֶשׁ: חִֽילוּ מִלְּ֒פָנָיו כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ אַף־תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל־תִּמּוֹט: יִשְׂמְחוּ הַשָּׁמַֽיִם וְתָגֵל הָאָֽרֶץ וְיֹאמְ֒רוּ בַגּוֹיִם יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ: יִרְעַם הַיָּם וּמְלוֹאוֹ יַעֲלֹץ הַשָּׂדֶה וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ: אָז יְרַנְּ֒נוּ עֲצֵי הַיָּעַר מִלִּפְנֵי יְהֹוָה כִּי־בָא לִשְׁפּוֹט אֶת־הָאָֽרֶץ: הוֹדוּ לַיהוָֹה כִּי טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּוֹ: וְאִמְרוּ הוֹשִׁיעֵֽנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵֽנוּ וְקַבְּ֒צֵֽנוּ וְהַצִּילֵֽנוּ מִן־הַגּוֹיִם לְהוֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם קָדְשֶֽׁךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּֽחַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ: בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן־הָעוֹלָם וְעַד הָעֹלָם וַיֹּאמְ֒רוּ כָל־הָעָם אָמֵן וְהַלֵּל לַיהוָֹה: רוֹמְ֒מוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָיו קָדוֹשׁ הוּא: רוֹמְ֒מוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְהַר קָדְשׁוֹ כִּי קָדוֹשׁ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ:

The word הוד (beauty) indicates that which is itself beautiful, while הדר (splendor) is the reflection of beauty. For example: the sun’s light is “beauty” itself while the moon’s light is splendor—a reflection of the sun.—Siddur HaGra

Etz Yosef understands this as the “holy splendor” of God’s Sanctuary. Tzelosa d’Avrohom sees it as the splendor and joy of worship before God, as contrasted with secular, frivolous manifestations of beauty and splendor.

Simcha (rejoicing) describes one’s feelings at a new experience of happiness, whereas gila (exultation) describes the feeling one experiences over an ongoing situation of joy. Since there is nothing new on the earth ואין כל־חדש תחת השמש (Koheles 1:9), it is said the earth will exult (gila); but the heavens will rejoice (simcha) because there is חידוש in the heavens.—Vilna Gaon

The fact that we are privileged to sing Your praises and cling to You will make us praiseworthy.—Etz Yosef

The Holy Temple.

Or Holy is it—i.e., the Temple.

Mount Moriah, upon which the Holy Temple was built, is holy itself even when the Temple is destroyed. The previous verse refers to the time of the Temple, the second verse refers to the period of its destruction.—Etz Yosef

וְהוּא רַחוּם יְכַפֵּר עָוֹן וְלֹא־יַשְׁחִית וְהִרְבָּה לְהָשִׁיב אַפּוֹ וְלֹא־יָעִיר כָּל־חֲמָתוֹ: אַתָּה יְהֹוָה לֹא־תִכְלָא רַחֲמֶֽיךָ מִמֶּֽנִּי חַסְדְּ֒ךָ וַאֲמִתְּ֒ךָ תָּמִיד יִצְּ֒רֽוּנִי: זְכֹר רַחֲמֶֽיךָ יְהֹוָה וַחֲסָדֶֽיךָ כִּי מֵעוֹלָם הֵֽמָּה: תְּנוּ עֹז לֵאלֹהִים עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל גַּאֲוָתוֹ וְעֻזּוֹ בַּשְּׁ֒חָקִים: נוֹרָא אֱלֹהִים מִמִּקְדָּשֶֽׁיךָ אֵל יִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא נֹתֵן עֹז וְתַעֲצֻמוֹת לָעָם בָּרוּךְ אֱלֹהִים: אֵל־נְקָמוֹת יְהֹוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִֽיעַ: הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָֽרֶץ הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל־גֵּאִים: לַיהוָֹה הַיְשׁוּעָה עַל־עַמְּ֒ךָ בִרְכָתֶֽךָ סֶּֽלָה: יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת עִמָּנוּ מִשְׂגָּב לָֽנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב סֶֽלָה: יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת אַשְׁרֵי אָדָם בֹּטֵֽחַ בָּךְ: יְהֹוָה הוֹשִֽׁיעָה הַמֶּֽלֶךְ יַעֲנֵֽנוּ בְיוֹם־קָרְאֵֽנוּ:

חסד (kindness) is the good God bestows without a promise, whereas אמת (truth) is the fulfillment of His promise.—Siach Yitzchok

God’s mercies to mankind started from the very day that Adam was created. God created the world in order to fill it with kindness as it is said: “A world of kindness was built” (Psalms 89:3).—Rashi

Attribute your victories to God’s might rather than to your own.—Siach Yitzchok. Rashbam and others hold that since God’s actions are a reflection of Israel’s deeds, the latter are, in a sense, the source of His might. Thus when Israel follows the wishes of God, they give might to Him.

There is a spiritual Temple in the heavens which corresponds to the Temple on earth.—Radak. The Talmud (Maseches Zevachim 115b) notes that the word ממקדשיך may also be read ממקדשיך, from Your holy people, indicating that God is especially demanding of the most adherent to the Torah. When this occurs, the world is filled with awe and fear of God.

These two verses (94:1-2) are an appeal to God during a time fraught with the sufferings of exile, when it seems as if God has forsaken His people. He is urged to reveal Himself as the Mighty champion of justice—S.R. Hirsch

Only God knows what is true deliverance for a person. Prayer is not always answered, because God in His infinite wisdom knows that granting the request is not always for our benefit. We must therefore bless and offer thanks to God regardless of whether our petition has been granted.—Siach Yitzchok

הוֹשִֽׁיעָה אֶת־עַמֶּֽךָ וּבָרֵךְ אֶת־נַחֲלָתֶֽךָ וּרְעֵם וְנַשְּׂ֒אֵם עַד־הָעוֹלָם: נַפְשֵֽׁנוּ חִכְּ֒תָה לַיהוָֹה עֶזְרֵֽנוּ וּמָגִנֵּֽנוּ הוּא: כִּי־בוֹ יִשְׂמַח לִבֵּֽנוּ כִּי בְשֵׁם קָדְשׁוֹ בָטָֽחְנוּ: יְהִי־חַסְדְּ֒ךָ יְהֹוָה עָלֵֽינוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר יִחַֽלְנוּ לָךְ: הַרְאֵֽנוּ יְהֹוָה חַסְדֶּֽךָ וְיֶשְׁעֲךָ תִּֽתֶּן־לָֽנוּ: קֽוּמָה עֶזְרָֽתָה לָּנוּ וּפְדֵֽנוּ לְמַֽעַן חַסְדֶּֽךָ: אָנֹכִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ הַמַּעַלְךָ מֵאֶֽרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם הַרְחֶב־פִּֽיךָ וַאֲמַלְאֵֽהוּ: אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם שֶׁכָּֽכָה לּוֹ אַשְׁרֵי הָעָם שֶׁיְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָיו: וַאֲנִי בְּחַסְדְּ֒ךָ בָטַֽחְתִּי יָגֵל לִבִּי בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ אָשִֽׁירָה לַיהוָֹה כִּי גָמַל עָלָי:

Radak understands David to be asking God to raise the People of Israel above their enemies. Ibn Ezra says that God is being asked to act like a shepherd who brings his flock to high ground to save them from beasts of prey.

We hope to earn redemption through our deeds, but if we are found wanting, then “show us Your kindness”—overlook our deficiencies and “grant” us salvation.—Radak

Request all that you desire and I will fulfill every request.—Ibn Ezra. The Jerusalem Talmud (Maseches Taanis 3:6) indicates that the more one requests God׳s providence—the “wider he opens his mouth”—the more he shows his belief in God’s ability to provide all of man’s needs.

The foremost level of man’s trust in God is manifested in three situations: a) when he is confronted with trouble, b) when he seeks help, and c) after he has been helped. The Psalmist says: In my time of trouble, I trust in Your kindliness; I seek only Your help, for my heart exults in Your salvation; and I will sing to You afterwards for You have dealt kindly with me.—Siddur HaGra
