Translation:
A Psalm of David
Give to G*d, children of gods
Give to G*d glory and power

Give to G*d the glory of Their Name
Worship G*d in the beauty of holiness
The voice of G*d is upon the waters
The G*d of glory thunders
G*d is upon the many waters

The voice of G*d is powerful
the voice of G*d is full of majesty
The voice of G*d breaks the cedars
G*d smashed the cedars of Lebanon
G*d made them leap like a calf
Lebanon and Siryon, like a young wild ox

The voice of G*d flashes out flames of fire
The voice of G*d makes the desert tremble
G*d makes tremble the desert of Kadesh
The voice of G*d makes the deer writhe
and strips the forests bare
and in G*d’s temple, everything says: 'Glory.'

G*d sat enthroned at the flood
G*d sits enthroned, ruling forever
G*d will give strength to Their people
G*d will bless Their people with peace

Psalm 29 - Tzemach Tzedek

The New Synagogue Project is building a spiritually vibrant, radically inclusive synagogue that reflects our vision for a world of justice, equity, and liberation. Our community is being created by and for families with kids, couples and single people, queer and trans people, disabled and chronically ill people, D/deaf and hard of hearing folks, interfaith families, Jews of color and white Jews, Jews from many religious and secular backgrounds, and anyone interested in exploring and experiencing Jewish life. 

We believe communal singing is an incredibly powerful way to pray, connect with each other and ourselves, and find healing. Singing infuses our services and gatherings, and we are always looking for new ways to create vibrant, songful experiences. Come sing with us!
