Hodu LaShem ki tov

Hodu LaShem ki tov

Ki l'olam chasdo.

Yomru na Yisrael

Yomru na Yisrael

Ki l'olam chasdo.

Yomru na Veit Aharon

Ki l'olam chasdo

Hodu lashem ki tov

Ki l'olam chasdo.

Yomru na yirei HaShem

Yomru na yirei HaShem

Ki l'olam chasdo.

Translation:

Acknowledge it to Hashem, for He is good, that His loving-kindness endures forever.

Declare it now, O Israel, that His loving-kindness endures forever.

Declare it now, O House of Aaron, that His loving-kindness endures forever.

Declare it now, O those who are in awe of Hashem, that His loving-kindness endures forever.

"The loving-kindness of God, whcih endures forever, in times of sorrow no less than in days of joy and happiness, has been experienced by Yisrael in its mission among men, by the House of Aharon in its calling in Yisrael's midst, and by every God-fearing man in general in his own endavors at spiritual self-refinement.  It is this everlasting, Divine loving-kindness that they all should proclaim now, in a spirit of homage and thanksgiving to God." - Rav Shamshon Raphael Hirsch

"The word Hodu comes from the word Hoda’a, which means an admission. In
thanking HaKadosh Baruch Hu, we “admit” that we could never possibly
repay Him for all of His benevolence to us. The idea of Hodu LaHashem is
that we are constantly to remind ourselves not to take life, or anything that
we receive, for granted. We attach ourselves to HaKadosh Baruch Hu by
acknowledging that we are indebted to Him for our lives, and that He is the
source of everything we have. (Rabbi Schwab on Prayer, ArtScroll)."
