The opening as it read in October 6, 2023
Baruch Adonai L'Olam is a paragraph recited during Shacharit in Pesukei Dezimra following Hallel . The paragraph consists of verses beginning with the word Baruch (ברוך), Hebrew for "Blessed," which states that God is a source of blessing and alludes to the covenant between God and the Jewish People. It is recited following Hallel as a way to relate Hallel to blessing. The paragraph consists of four verses: Verse 53 from Psalm 89 , verse 21 from Psalm 135 , and verses 18-19 from Psalm 72 . The word Amen is recited twice in the first verse as an emphasis on this word. The word Amen can have three meanings: to accept a vow upon oneself, to acknowledge the truth of a statement, and the expression of hope that a prayer will come true.1
