It contains 15 expressions of praise in the first half and 15 words in the concluding blessing, alluding to the divine name and King David's Psalms.

    Yishtabach

    Yishtabach (Hebrew: ‫( )ישתבח‬Hebrew: "


    [ God ] be praised") is a prayer in the
    final portion of the Pesukei Dezimra
    morning prayers of Judaism known as
    shacharit, recited before the second
    kaddish leading to the Shema prayers.

    The theme of the number "fifteen" plays


    a pivotal role in the blessing; there are
    fifteen expressions conveying praise in
    the beginning half of the paragraph and
    fifteen words in the concluding blessing
    (after "Blessed are You, God..."). The
    number fifteen is an allusion both to the
    Divine Name ‫( יה‬whose gematria is
    fifteen) and to the fifteen Songs of
    Ascents composed by King David
    (Psalms 120–34).

    There are two themes of Yishtabach:


    God's power and might are deserving of
    our praise and adoration, and that one
    must continually praise God.[1]

    Since Baruch Sheamar and Yishtabach


    are both blessings, this gives the sense
    that Pesukei Dezimra is one single
    prayer.[2] Yishtabach is not recited
    unless Baruch Sheamar is recited,
    because Baruch Sheamar is the
    opening blessing, and Yishtabach is the
    closing blessing.[3]
    Yishtabach is normally recited while
    standing. This is because Baruch
    Sheamar is recited while standing, and
    since Baruch Sheamar is the opening of
    Pesukei Dezimra and Yishtabach is the
    conclusion, they are both recited in the
    same manner.[4] However, on Shabbat,
    some congregations have a custom to
    sit.[5]

    The author of Yishtabach is not known


    to this day. But with words 2-5 in the
    prayer spelling ‫( שׁלמה‬Shlomo), this
    alludes to a reference to King
    Solomon.[6]
