THE NATURE OF GOD
a Psalm by Daveed haMelech
Translated by Ari Michell
1988 from the book Psalms Tiny Hugs for the Soul
Heavens with your glory.
Babes and sucklings testify that you desire praise
and have made it important. This puts a stop to
your enemy and any avenger.
Whenever I ponder the universes, the end result of your handiwork,
all is in order and in its place; the moon, and the stars.
What was it that caused you to give us value?
You take note of man and offer him care.
You cared so much you made him only a little less divine than your holy
messengers.
You shower him with glory and honor.
You have in essence, made him a partner in
creation, and given him rule over the worlds.
From those sheep, goats, oxen, wild beasts, fowl of the air, fish of the
sea, and all the plants and all the earth have you given him dominion
over.
Our Master, Adoneinu, how exalted and special is your name in all of
creation. |
