Shim’ah Elohim rinati; hakshivah t’filati

Hear my song, Oh God!
I will call to You from the ends of the Earth as my heart wraps itself in Your Love.*
(Psalm 61:2)
[Click (or tap) to see the entire Psalm 61 in Hebrew and English (JPS 1985).]

When I direct my song to God, and ask to be heard, I am praying that my separate unique and particular expression might be re-united with the Oneness. My song is a heartfelt yearning for harmonious connection with the cosmos.
