Our morning song:

Ozi v’Zimrat Yah Vayahi li lishuahMy Strength (balanced) with the Song of God will be my salvation (Psalm 118:14, Exodus 15:2)R. Shefa Gold: In this practice I find and express my strength, my will, my effort and desire when I chant “Ozi.” When I chant “v’zimrat Yah,” I open and surrender to the God-song and let it be sung through me. Then in the last phrase, “Vayahi li lishuah,” I balance those two aspects of my practice.Jewish Publication Society Bible (1917): "The Lord is my strength and song, and He is become my salvation."

Hi everybody. Nice to see you all. So to speak. Before we start, can I ask what progress was made on people having a bulletin board to share their own psalm poems and interpretations?

G’morning everyone

Thanks, Harold! : - )

There is no word for "not Jewish" in my language, so it feels very strange when somebody calls me any word that means that in any other language. :)Does anybody know if there is a special word in Ladino for that?

Good question, Darina - not sure about that.

There are really cool studies about how babies learn the emphasis of the language around them in the womb. it’s been demonstrated as young as 4 days old.

neither

Wow, I have no problems with emphasis in eiter English or Hebrew although both languaes are foreign to me.

Wow, Nora...

“Rage”

Plot!

assemble

gather

plot

mutter in vain

uproar

assemble

In an uproar

assemble

assemble

“rush around restless"

nations shout …people plan

Why do people gather - Artscroll

erupt

conspire

plot vain things

throng

murmur in vain

Alter: nations aroused

chaos

Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?

Two words assemble and plot

Congregate

yehege yomam valayla

JPS 1988: Why do the nations assemble,; and peoples plot vain things;/ kings of the earth take their stand,/ and regents intrigue together

people plan in vain

And the people mutter in vain

mutter in vain

worthless plans

“…meditate a vain thing”

“contemplate empty goals"

plot vain things

yes, Bulgaria

imagine a vain thing

people murmur in vain - Alter

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

People’s minds go wild

talk in vain

That is the KJV

no, it's now 7 hours because we switched to daylight saving time this weekend

So it means that whether in an uproar or in silent comtemplation, they're on the wrong track.

Any idea why is Psalm 2 is not included in Mitchell’s selections?

Plenty of verbs in my native Bulgarian, now that I think of it.

example: the word דיינו.

Yoda was Israeli

at last, Jewish.

hello to the Rabbi’s doggy

hi penny and Bella

Will the dogs have a Bark Mitzvah?

they are very cute

Adorable dogs. Shayna Punims

what does “anointed” mean?

Mazel tov, Karen!

wonderful karen

Anointed is literally to have oil poured on your hear, generally by the Kohen Gadol, the high priest. In Greek it’s “Christos” or Christ.

So does anointed mean that here?

Harold you are a genius

thank you

Thank you!

Harold, thanks for the linkage. During day school, they told us to say Jesus and never Christ for that reason.

I am hoping for a bulletin board, email thread, or some kind of sharing thing for us to share our own interpretations and translations.

Thank you Harold

we didn't get any emails

thanks Harold

Thanks, Harold and Sasha.

thanks Sasha

Where do we send our renditions?

would prefer WhatsApp to Facebook

We are trying to figure that out.

I need to refresh my memory on how annoinnting is done during a baptism in Eastern Orthodox Christianity. I think the priest just smears some oil on the child's forehead, but I'm not sure I remember correctly.
