Dovid's Holy Dance

by Laivy Hart

This song is inspired by Dovid HaMelech's famous dance before the Aron. Though Michal criticized him for lowering his royal dignity, Dovid understood that before the Shechinah there is no room for ego. So too, the holiest wedding dance is not about the dancer, but about bringing joy to the chassan, the kallah, and the Shechinah that dwells between them.

כָּל הָאוּלָם מְחַכֶּה
וְהַדְּלָתוֹת נִפְתָּחוֹת

הֶחָתָן וְהַכַּלָּה
נִכְנָסִים בְּאוֹרוֹת

כָּל הַלֵּב שֶׁבָּכָה
עַכְשָׁיו מַתְחִיל לִשְׂמֹחַ

וְכָל מִי שֶׁעוֹמֵד
כְּבָר לֹא יָכוֹל לַעֲמֹד


וְדָוִד מְכַרְכֵּר
בְּכָל עֹז

לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם
לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם

כִּי כְּשֶׁקְּדֻשָּׁה
נִכְנֶסֶת לְשִׂמְחָתָהּ

כָּל הָעוֹלָם
רָאוּי לִרְקֹד

וְהֶחָתָן וְהַכַּלָּה
בְּקוֹל שָׂשׂוֹן

בּוֹנִים בַּיִת
לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם

כִּי כְּשֶׁשְּׁכִינָה
נִכְנֶסֶת לְבֵיתָהּ

כָּל הָעוֹלָם
רָאוּי לִרְקֹד


כָּל יָד מִתְרוֹמֶמֶת
כָּל קוֹל מִתְגַּבֵּר

כָּל מַעְגָּל שֶׁנִּפְתָּח
עוֹד לֵב אֶחָד מְחַבֵּר

זֶה לֹא רַק רִקּוּד
זֶה לֹא רַק שִׁירָה

זֶה בַּיִת שֶׁנוֹלָד
בְּשִׂמְחָה טְהוֹרָה


וְדָוִד מְכַרְכֵּר
בְּכָל עֹז

לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם
לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם

כִּי כְּשֶׁקְּדֻשָּׁה
נִכְנֶסֶת לְשִׂמְחָתָהּ

כָּל הָעוֹלָם
רָאוּי לִרְקֹד

וְהֶחָתָן וְהַכַּלָּה
בְּקוֹל שָׂשׂוֹן

בּוֹנִים בַּיִת
לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם

כִּי כְּשֶׁשְּׁכִינָה
נִכְנֶסֶת לְבֵיתָהּ

כָּל הָעוֹלָם
רָאוּי לִרְקֹד


כָּל שַׁבָּת שֶׁתָּבוֹא
כָּל נֵר שֶׁיִּדָּלֵק

כָּל תְּפִלָּה שֶׁתַּעֲלֶה
כָּל בֶּן שֶׁיִּתְחַזֵּק

כָּל דּוֹר שֶׁעוֹד יָבוֹא
מִן הַשִּׂמְחָה הַזֹּאת

כָּל הַבַּיִת הַנִּבְנֶה
מַתְחִיל עַכְשָׁיו לִרְקֹד


וְדָוִד מְכַרְכֵּר
בְּכָל עֹז

לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם
לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם

כִּי כְּשֶׁקְּדֻשָּׁה
נִכְנֶסֶת לְשִׂמְחָתָהּ

כָּל הָעוֹלָם
רָאוּי לִרְקֹד

וְהֶחָתָן וְהַכַּלָּה
בְּקוֹל שָׂשׂוֹן

בּוֹנִים בַּיִת
לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם

כִּי כְּשֶׁשְּׁכִינָה
נִכְנֶסֶת לְבֵיתָהּ

כָּל הָעוֹלָם
רָאוּי לִרְקֹד

עוֹד יִשָּׁמַע
בְּעָרֵי יְהוּדָה

וּבְחוּצוֹת
יְרוּשָׁלָיִם

קוֹל שָׂשׂוֹן
וְקוֹל שִׂמְחָה

קוֹל חָתָן
וְקוֹל כַּלָּה

זֶה הַקוֹל
שֶׁחִכִּינוּ לִשְׁמֹעַ

זֶה הָאוֹר
שֶׁחָזַר לִזְרֹחַ

זֶה הַבַּיִת
שֶׁנִּבְנֶה בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל

זֶה הַרִקּוּד
לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם

וְדָוִד מְכַרְכֵּר
בְּכָל עֹז

לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם
לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם

כִּי כְּשֶׁקְּדֻשָּׁה
נִכְנֶסֶת לְשִׂמְחָתָהּ

כָּל הָעוֹלָם
רָאוּי לִרְקֹד

וְהֶחָתָן וְהַכַּלָּה
בְּקוֹל שָׂשׂוֹן

בּוֹנִים בַּיִת
לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם

כִּי כְּשֶׁשְּׁכִינָה
נִכְנֶסֶת לְבֵיתָהּ

כָּל הָעוֹלָם
רָאוּי לִרְקֹד


כָּל הָעוֹלָם
רָאוּי לִרְקֹד

כָּל הָעוֹלָם
רָאוּי לִרְקֹד

לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם
לִפְנֵי הַשֵּׁם

וְדָוִד מְכַרְכֵּר
בְּכָל עֹז
The whole hall is waiting
And the doors swing open

The groom and the bride
Enter in radiant light

Every heart that once had cried
Now begins to rejoice

And everyone standing there
Can no longer stand still

David is dancing
With all his might

Before Hashem
Before Hashem

For when holiness
Enters into its joy

The whole world
Deserves to dance

And the groom and the bride
With joyful song

Are building a home
Before Hashem

For when the Shechinah
Enters Her home

The whole world
Deserves to dance

Every hand is lifted high
Every voice grows stronger

Every circle that is formed
Joins one more heart together

This is not just dancing
This is not just a song

This is a home being born
In pure and holy joy

David is dancing
With all his might

Before Hashem
Before Hashem

For when holiness
Enters into its joy

The whole world
Deserves to dance

And the groom and the bride
With joyful song

Are building a home
Before Hashem

For when the Shechinah
Enters Her home

The whole world
Deserves to dance

Every Shabbos yet to come
Every candle yet to shine

Every prayer that will arise
Every child growing strong

Every generation still to come
From this joyful day

Every home now being built
Starts to dance today

David is dancing
With all his might

Before Hashem
Before Hashem

For when holiness
Enters into its joy

The whole world
Deserves to dance

And the groom and the bride
With joyful song

Are building a home
Before Hashem

For when the Shechinah
Enters Her home

The whole world
Deserves to dance

There shall yet be heard
In the cities of Judah

And in the streets
Of Jerusalem

The voice of gladness
And the voice of joy

The voice of the groom
And the voice of the bride

This is the sound
We longed to hear

This is the light
That has begun to shine again

This is the home
Being built in Israel

This is the dance
Before Hashem

David is dancing
With all his might

Before Hashem
Before Hashem

For when holiness
Enters into its joy

The whole world
Deserves to dance

And the groom and the bride
With joyful song

Are building a home
Before Hashem

For when the Shechinah
Enters Her home

The whole world
Deserves to dance

The whole world
Deserves to dance

The whole world
Deserves to dance

Before Hashem
Before Hashem

David is dancing
With all his might
