The right hand of the L-rd is exalted;
The right hand of the L-rd performs deeds of valor!
Psalms 118:16
When praying alone, the Tzemach Tzedek, the third ChabadRebbe, would break into this
melody upon reaching these words in Halel. The melody is divided into three parts that signify deep meditation, fervent hope, and boundless faith.
