Judge the Land: Kumah Elohim | Rabbi Shefa Gold

Kumah Elohim Shaftah Ha-Aretz

Arise God, and judge the land. (Psalm 82:8)
[Click (or tap) to see the entire Psalm 82 in Hebrew and English (JPS 1985).]

As we explore the inner landscape, we find places of shadow — corners of the heart that are unhealed or hidden in shame. We call on the God-force within us to rise up, to reveal the Divine perspective so that the entirety of our inner landscape can be bathed in Awareness.
