God brought me into spaciousness;
and freed me out of loving desire. (Psalm 18:20)

God, as Cosmos, calls me out of my narrow perspectives into the widest possible view of Reality. In that spaciousness I am freed from my habits of constriction and reactivity. The whole of Life desires my presence, releasing me from the confining illusions of separateness, calling me into profound and loving connection.

Then I, through justice, will behold Your face;
Awake, I am filled with the vision of You. (Psalm 17:15)

Psalm 17 is filled with pleas of protection from all the dangers and evils of this world. The Psalm concludes with the realization that, it is only through our own righteousness that we will have access to the flow of Grace. We are all made in the image of God. Yet only when we are truly awake, can we see, know and manifest our Divine likeness.

B’shuv Yah, Sh’vut amo, yagayl yaakov, yismach Yisrael

When God returns and restores the fortunes of His people,
Jacob will exult, Israel will rejoice. (Psalm 14:7)

Even when it’s looking bad, with bullies in charge, and the poor oppressed, and cynicism reigning its disguised terror … still we look to God who is stirring in us beneath our despair. In the depths of our captivity a vision arises: God returning to our midst to free us from greed, fear and the illusions of separation. As God finds a home within us, we return home to ourselves, to our joy, and to the truth of our connection.

And I will trust in Your Love; as my heart rejoices in Your deliverance.
I will sing to God, who has been good to me. (Psalm 13:6)

Havayah b’haychal kodsho, Havayah Bashamayim kiso

God is in his Holy Temple; God is on his Heavenly Throne.
Seeing, knowing, loving us! (Psalm 11:4)

The Divine Mystery permeates this world, making it into a place of holiness. The Divine Mystery is consciousness itself, which has the widest perspective and sees us clearly. That Divine gaze is filled with forgiveness, compassion and an abundance of wisdom, piercing all illusion. When we enter into a state of being seen, known and loved completely, we are transformed by that Divine gaze and we can know ourselves from that widest perspective.

(In this chant I am pronouncing the unpronounceable יְהֹוָ֤ה as HaVaYaH which is a name that invokes the aspect of God that is Being itself.)
