  • Is the opening paragraph of Kabbalat Shabbat.[1]
  • Is recited on Shabbat Hagadol.[2]
  • The first three verses are part of the psalm of the day for the Shir Shel Yom on Wednesday.[3] This is the only day of the week in which the song of the day is composed on verses from multiple psalms. These verses are recited by most congregations because of their inspiring message.[4]

Christianity

In the Latin Psalters used by the Roman liturgy it forms the invitatory which is sung daily before matins. It may be sung as a canticle in the Anglican and Lutheran liturgy of Morning Prayer, when it is referred to by its incipit as the Venite or Venite, exultemus Domino (also A Song of Triumph).
