הוּא׃ וְעֹז מֶלֶךְ מִשְׁפָּט אָהֵב, אַתָּה כּוֹנַנְתָּ מֵישָׁרִים, מִשְׁפָּט
וּצְדָקָה בְּיַעֲקֹב אַתָּה עָשִׂיתָ׃ רוֹמְמוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ, וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ
לַהֲדֹם רַגְלָיו, קָדוֹשׁ הוּא׃ מֹשֶׁה וְאַהֲרֹן בְּכֹהֲנָיו, וּשְׁמוּאֵל בְּקֹרְאֵי
שְׁמוֹ, קֹרְאִים אֶל־יְהֹוָה וְהוּא יַעֲנֵם׃ בְּעַמּוּד עָנָן יְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם,
שָׁמְרוּ עֵדֹתָיו וְחֹק נָתַן־לָמוֹ׃ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ אַתָּה עֲנִיתָם, אֵל
נֹשֵׂא הָיִיתָ לָהֶם, וְנֹקֵם עַל־עֲלִילוֹתָם׃ רוֹמְמוּ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ,
וְהִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְהַר קָדְשׁוֹ, כִּי־קָדוֹשׁ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ׃

Zion, He is exalted over all the peoples. Let them praise Your name, O great and awesome One: He is holy! The King in His might loves justice. You have established equity. The justice and righteousness in Jacob is Your doing. Exalt the LORD our God, and bow at His footstool: He is holy! Moses and Aaron were among His priests; Samuel was among those who called on His name. They called on the LORD and He answered them. He spoke to them in a pillar of cloud; they observed His testimonies and the statute He gave them. LORD our God, You answered them. You were for them a forgiving God, though You punished their misdeeds. Exalt the LORD our God and bow at His holy mountain, for the LORD our God is holy.
On Yom Tov, Motza’ei Yom Tov or Shabbat Hol HaMo’ed, Kabbalat Shabbat begins here. The following psalm is said standing:
Ps. 29
Hebrew
מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד, הָבוּ לַיהֹוָה בְּנֵי אֵלִים, הָבוּ לַיהֹוָה כָּבוֹד וָעֹז׃ הָבוּ
לַיהֹוָה כְּבוֹד שְׁמוֹ, הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַיהֹוָה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹדֶשׁ׃ קוֹל יְהֹוָה
עַל־הַמָּיִם, אֵל־הַכָּבוֹד הִרְעִים, יְהֹוָה עַל־מַיִם רַבִּים׃ קוֹל־יְהֹוָה
בַּכֹּחַ, קוֹל יְהֹוָה בֶּהָדָר׃ קוֹל יְהֹוָה שֹׁבֵר אֲרָזִים, וַיְשַׁבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶת־
אַרְזֵי הַלְּבָנוֹן׃ וַיַּרְקִידֵם כְּמוֹ־עֵגֶל, לְבָנוֹן וְשִׂרְיֹן כְּמוֹ בֶן־רְאֵמִים׃
קוֹל־יְהֹוָה חֹצֵב לַהֲבוֹת אֵשׁ׃ קוֹל יְהֹוָה יָחִיל מִדְבָּר, יָחִיל יְהֹוָה
מִדְבַּר קָדֵשׁ׃ קוֹל יְהֹוָה יְחוֹלֵל אַיָּלוֹת וַיֶּחֱשֹׂף יְעָרוֹת, וּבְהֵיכָלוֹ,
כֻּלּוֹ אֹמֵר כָּבוֹד׃ יְהֹוָה לַמַּבּוּל יָשָׁב, וַיֵּשֶׁב יְהֹוָה מֶלֶךְ לְעוֹלָם׃
יְהֹוָה עֹז לְעַמּוֹ יִתֵּן, יְהֹוָה יְבָרֵךְ אֶת־עַמּוֹ בַשָּׁלוֹם׃

English
A psalm of David. Render to the LORD, you angelic powers, render to the LORD glory and might. Render to the LORD the glory due to His name. Bow to the LORD in the beauty of holiness. The LORD’s voice echoes over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is over the mighty waters. The LORD’s voice in power, the LORD’s voice in beauty, the LORD’s voice breaks cedars, the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox. The LORD’s voice cleaves flames of fire. The LORD’s voice makes the desert quake, the LORD shakes the desert of Kadesh. The LORD’s voice makes hinds calve and strips the forests bare, and in His temple all say: “Glory!” The LORD sat enthroned at the Flood, the LORD sits enthroned as King for ever. The LORD will give strength to His people; the LORD will bless His people with peace.
