Rabbi Mordékhai Chriqui:
(Praying – Psalms 116:12-19, 117, 118):
"How can I repay unto the Lord all His bountiful dealings toward me? I will lift up the cup of salvation, and call upon the name of the Lord. My vows will I pay unto the Lord, yea, in the presence of all His people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. I beseech Thee, O Lord, for I am Thy servant; I am Thy servant, the son of Thy handmaid; Thou hast loosed my bands. I will offer to Thee the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows unto the Lord, yea, in the presence of all His people; In the courts of the Lord's house, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem. God be praised."
"O praise the Lord, all ye nations; laud Him, all ye peoples. For His mercy is great toward us; and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. God be praised."
"O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever. So let Israel now say, for His mercy endureth for ever, So let the house of Aaron now say, for His mercy endureth for ever. So let them now that fear the Lord say, for His mercy endureth for ever. Open to me the gates of righteousness; I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter into it. I will give thanks unto Thee, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation. The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone. This is the Lord 's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. We beseech Thee, O Lord, save now! We beseech Thee, O Lord, make us now to prosper! Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord; we bless you out of the house of the Lord. The Lord is God, and hath given us light; order the festival procession with boughs, even unto the horns of the altar. Thou art my God, and I will give thanks unto Thee; Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee. O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever."
