Text: Harninu
Fifth Hakafah, Text from Psalm 81, Thursday
הַרְנִינוּ לֵאלקים עֻזֵּנוּ הָרִיעוּ לֵאלקי יַעֲקֹב
שְׂאוּ זִמְרָה וּתְנוּ תֹף כִּנּוֹר נָעִים עִם נָבֶל

Har-ni-nu Le-lo-him U-zei-nu
Har-ee-‘u Le-lo-hei Ya-a-kov
Se’u Zim-rah Ut-nu Tof
Ki-nor Na’im Im Nah-vel

Sing joyously to God, our strength, shout for joy to the God of Jacob.
Take up the hymn, sound the drum, the pleasant harp and the lute.
