Amateur Cantor: Mi Chamocha and Tzur Israel

Mi Chamocha and Tzur Israel

Mi Chamocha is the song of praise to Hashem because of His of redemption of Israel from Slavery and Death in Mitzrayim / Egypt. It is proclaiming G-d as the one true Almighty King. It is followed directly by yet another Messianic prayer, summoning Messiah The Prince - L-rd of angelic armies, pleading for His appearance to once again deliver Israel and Judah as the Anointed One, Holy Redeemer of Israel. The prayer pleads for that which is yet to come, but at the same time as if it has already happened. The Mi Chamocha is built around the following passages.

יא מִי-כָמֹכָה בָּאֵלִם יְהוָה, {ס} מִי {ר} כָּמֹכָה נֶאְדָּר בַּקֹּדֶשׁ; {ס} נוֹרָא תְהִלֹּת, עֹשֵׂה {ר} פֶלֶא. {ס}

יח יְהוָה יִמְלֹךְ, לְעֹלָם וָעֶד. {ס}

Moses and the children of Israel sang a song unto thee with great joy, saying. all of them,

Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the mighty ones? Who is like unto thee, glorious in holiness, revered in praises, doing marvels?

p. 197

With a new song the redeemed people offered praise unto thy name at the sea shore; they all gave thanks in unison, and proclaimed thy sovereignty, and said,

The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.

O Rock of Israel, arise to the help of Israel, and deliver, according to thy promise, Judah and Israel. Our Redeemer, the Lord of hosts is his name, the Holy One of Israel. Blessed art thou, O Lord, who hast redeemed Israel.
