Worship takes on a cross-cultural expression in SOLU Israel’s Hebrew and Arabic cover of “Adonai (Psalm 113:3),” an original song by Nigerian gospel minister Nathaniel Bassey. Released on May 30, 2025, the performance brings voices together in Jerusalem to declare praise to God in two languages. Its foundation is Psalm 113:3, which calls for the Lord’s name to be praised from sunrise to sunset.
The repeated declaration of “Adonai,” meaning “Lord,” keeps the focus on honouring God and proclaiming His greatness. By presenting the worship in Hebrew and Arabic, SOLU Israel gives the global song a distinctive expression that reflects its desire to see people from different backgrounds unite in praise. The performance also carries a message of reconciliation, pointing to Jesus as the Prince of Peace and celebrating the hope of unity across divisions. For listeners who appreciate multilingual worship and Scripture-inspired gospel music, this cover offers an opportunity to reflect on the universal call to praise God. Its central message is simple: from the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord deserves to be glorified.
