Terev g’dulati v’tisov t’nachamayni

You will increase my greatness,
And You will turn and comfort me. (Psalm 71:21)
[Click (or tap) to see the entire Psalm 71 in Hebrew and English (JPS 1985).]

This is a practice of trusting in God, a force that is always expanding us to our true breadth. That Divine force is increasing the sense of our own worth and showing us how we fit into the wholeness of life. In order to know who we really are we must heal some old wounds and undo some outgrown conditioning. That healing happens as God turns to us in comfort and consolation.

Yasisu v’yis’m’chu b’cha kol-m’vkshecha
N’ran’nah biy’shuatecha

Let all who seek You delight and rejoice in Your Presence. (Psalm 70:5)
[Click (or tap) to see the entire Psalm 70 in Hebrew and English (JPS 1985).]

The pursuit of spiritual experience can sometimes become overly serious and can even feel like a struggle. This is a practice of remembering that it is through our JOY- that deepest brightest spark within us- that we can connect with the Divine Presence. When we receive a glimpse of that spark, it expands within us and becomes our radiance. So, we are reminded to bring our attention to moments of delight, and then to rejoice in the glimpses of Unity consciousness we receive in our JOY..

Anayni Yah ki-tov chasdecha, k’rov rachamecha p’nai aylai

Answer me, O LORD, according to Your great love;
in accordance with Your abundant compassion
turn Your Face to me. (Psalm 69:17)
[Click (or tap) to see the entire Psalm 69 in Hebrew and English (JPS 1985).]

When we feel stuck; when we feel weary; when we don’t know where to turn for support, encouragement or inspiration… it is then that we turn to God the Great Mystery, whose face is both everywhere and also hidden. When we become vulnerable enough to show our own true face, then God’s face is revealed. It is then that we can receive Her great love and flowing compassion.

Tziva Elohecha Uzecha Uzah Elohim zu pa’alta lanu

Your God commands your strength,
It is the Divine power, which You have placed in us. (Psalm 68:29)
[Click (or tap) to see the entire Psalm 68 in Hebrew and English (JPS 1985).]

Life tests us, giving us challenges that send us to our deepest resource, which is the Source within. We are each called to find our strength, and to realize that our truest and most trustworthy strength is the power of God that is within us. In finding that strength, we are humbled, and connected to a power that is beyond the small separate self.

Zamru ch’vod sh’mo, Simu chavod t’hilato

Sing to glorify His/Her essence
Give dignity to His/Her praise. (Psalm 66:2)
[Click (or tap) to see the entire Psalm 66 in Hebrew and English (JPS 1985).]

We lift up the essence of Divinity through chanting Her sacred names. And we honor that essence with our expressions of awe and wonder. I call it “living in the WOW.” This is a practice of making a commitment to always keep part of our attention on the miraculous, amazing and mysterious aspects of existence—remembering the infinite, even as we play in the finite realms.
