L'chu N'ranenah by Mah Tovu
L’chu n’ra-ne-nah
By Mah Tovu
At the beginning of Shabbat evening services, Jews all over the world sing the words of Psalm 95, which acknowledges God’s majesty in our lives and in our world. The Psalmist urges us to listen for God’s voice, for it can be heard throughout creation.
Come, let us sing out to Adonai, let our song ring out to our sheltering Rock, Sing a new song to God
