Silence is Praise

L’cha dumiyah t’hilah
Graphic: Silence Is Praise in Hebrew
For You silence is praise. (Psalm 65:2)
[Click (or tap) to see the entire Psalm 65 in Hebrew and English (JPS 1985).]

With my silence, I am creating a space within me for the Divine Presence to dwell. I am inviting God in. That invitation is the most profound praise, because I am saying with my silence, “There is nothing more important, nothing more precious than to be with You, God.”
