  • The Psalms As Hymns in the Temple of Jerusalem Gary A
    4 The Psalms as Hymns in the Temple of Jerusalem Gary A. Rendsburg From as far back as our sources allow, hymns were part of Near Eastern temple ritual, with their performers an essential component of the temple functionaries. 1 These sources include Sumerian, Akkadian, and Egyptian texts 2 from as early as the third millennium BCE. From the second millennium BCE, we gain further examples of hymns from the Hittite realm, even if most (if not all) of the poems are based on Mesopotamian precursors.3 Ugarit, our main source of information on ancient Canaan, has not yielded songs of this sort in 1. For the performers, see Richard Henshaw, Female and Male: The Cu/tic Personnel: The Bible and Rest ~(the Ancient Near East (Allison Park, PA: Pickwick, 1994) esp. ch. 2, "Singers, Musicians, and Dancers," 84-134. Note, however, that this volume does not treat the Egyptian cultic personnel. 2. As the reader can imagine, the literature is ~xtensive, and hence I offer here but a sampling of bibliographic items. For Sumerian hymns, which include compositions directed both to specific deities and to the temples themselves, see Thorkild Jacobsen, The Harps that Once ... : Sumerian Poetry in Translation (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1987), esp. 99-142, 375--444. Notwithstanding the much larger corpus of Akkadian literarure, hymn~ are less well represented; see the discussion in Alan Lenzi, ed., Reading Akkadian Prayers and Hymns: An Introduction, Ancient Near East Monographs (Atlanta: Society of Biblical Literature, 2011), 56-60, with the most important texts included in said volume. For Egyptian hymns, see Jan A%mann, Agyptische Hymnen und Gebete, Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis (Gottingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 1999); Andre Barucq and Frarn;:ois Daumas, Hymnes et prieres de /'Egypte ancienne, Litteratures anciennes du Proche-Orient (Paris: Cerf, 1980); and John L.

  • Searching for Holiness: the Song of the Sea in Tanakh and Tefillah
    Searching for Holiness: The Song of the Sea in Tanakh and Tefillah Byline: Rachel Friedman Searching for Holiness: The Song of the Sea in Tanakh and Tefillah [1] Rachel Friedman In the past several generations, a literary approach to Tanakh study has engaged both lay and academic Jewish learners; indeed, it is a significant subject in this volume. The thesis of this article is that a literary reading of biblical material found in the daily liturgy can similarly infuse our prayers with new levels of meaning and connect these specific prayers to the larger themes and messages of the Siddur. In this article, I will focus on the prayer of Az Yashir, also known as Shirat ha-Yam (The [2] Song of the Sea, or simply, the Song), to demonstrate this methodology. It is hoped that a literary-theological analysis of the Song in its biblical and liturgical settings will inspire a personal connection between this ancient poem and its modern daily readers. The Verses of Praise and the Daily Prayer Service The Song of the Sea is part of the section of the liturgy known as Pesukei de-Zimra, or verses of praise. The Talmud teaches (Berakhot 32b) that “a person should first recount the praise of God, and then pray.” The Rabbis instituted Pesukei de-Zimra to prepare the individual for the recitation of the central elements of the daily prayer service—the Shema and the Amidah—by focusing one’s thoughts on God and contemplation of His glory. Before we can ask God to grant our needs and requests, we enter the proper state of mind by thinking about Him and praising Him.

"Prayer can be electric and alive! Prayer can touch the soul, burst forth a creative celebration of the spirit and open deep wells of gratitude, longing and praise. Prayer can connect us to our Living Source and to each other, enfolding us in love and praise, wonder and gratitude, awe and thankfulness. Jewish prayer in its essence is soul dialogue and calls us into relationship within and beyond. Through the power of words and melodies both ancient and new, we venture into realms of deep emotion and find longing, sorrow ,joy, hope, wholeness, connection and peace. When guided by skilled leaders of prayer and ritual, our complacency is challenged. We break through outworn assumptions about God and ourselves, and emerge refreshed and inspired to meet the challenges OUr lives offer." (-from the DLTI brochure, by Rabbis Marcia Prager and Shawn Israel Zevit) This Siddur was created as a vehicle to explore how traditional and novel approaches to Jewish prayer can blend, so that the experience of Jewish prayer can be renewed, revitalized and deepened.

    Numbers13_14_Notes 4/4/19, 9:29 AM April 7, 2019 - Num 13:1 – 14:10 - Report of the Spies Torah Reading: Numbers 13:1 – 14:10 - Report of the Spies Psalm 100 Haftarah: Joshua 2:1-9, 23-24 The spies were important leaders from each tribe. This is why the eventual "evil report" was so damning - they were princes of Israel, rulers over thousands. Every tribe was represented except the tribe of Levi, because they were to have no inheritance in the land (Deuteronomy 10:9). But then, to make up the number twelve, the two sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, are reckoned as two tribes Numbers 13:1-2 - "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them." In Deuteronomy there is more detail about this incident. Moses is speaking: - Deuteronomy 1:22 - "And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come. And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe" A Kernel of Unbelief The proposal by its nature contained a kernel of unbelief. God had already said the land was good - a land flowing with milk and honey.

  • Created to Worship by Norma Jewell & Eva Gibson
    KEEP CALM AND WORSHIP ON Colossians 3:16-17 ¹⁶Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. ¹⁷And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. What is Worship? “…our response to God… by our words and actions that He is worthy of our deepest love.” - Created to Worship by Norma Jewell & Eva Gibson “This people honors me with their lips, But their heart is far from me; In vain do they worship me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.” ~Matthew 15:8-9 What is Worship?

  • Seven Hebrew Words for Praise
    Seven Hebrew Words for Praise All expressions of praise have faith as their basis. When the Jews heard the words for praise they understood a lot more than we do today because they understood the meaning of it. YADAH – yaw-daw (Hands to God) The Hebrew word YADAH comes from two root words. YAD which means the open hand, direction, power. And AH which has reference to Jehovah. Together they are rendered Hands to God. It carries the meaning of absolute surrender as a child does to a parent – “pick me up, I’m all yours.” Scriptures: Genesis 29:35, 2 Chronicles 20:21, Psalm 42:9-11; 109:30, Isaiah 12:1 YADAH (3034)– to throw out hands; to worship with extended hands, Ps. 7:1, 9:1, 28:7, 33:2, 42:5, 44:8, 63:4, 100:4, 134:2, 141:2. The opposite is to wail, throw ones hands complaining. Our hands are an extension of our inward nature. Aggressiveness inside – hands hit people. It is an expression of a deep surrender to God and it is an extension of our hearts desiring to exalt Him. TOWDAH – toe-dah (Court of Law) TOWDAH (8426) – see thanksgiving. In the Old Testament, it translated as “Confession”. The New Testament translates it as “to say the same thing.” The word comes from Yadah and means to extend the hands. To declare openly, freely, unreservedly. Admit as real or true. The lifting of the hands signifies agreement. The ATTITUDE for TOWDAH is: I’m thanking God. I don’t care what it looks like.

  • 09/30/18 Engages in God Exalting Worship Psalm 100:1-5 Pastor Douglas Scalise, Brewster Baptist Church
    09/30/18 Engages in God Exalting Worship Psalm 100:1-5 Pastor Douglas Scalise, Brewster Baptist Church “To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.” William Temple "Worship begins in holy expectancy, it ends in holy obedience." Richard Foster John 4:23-24, “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such as these to worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” A small boy sat beside his mother in a worship service. Like most small children, and some adults, his attention was neither easily captured nor readily held. So much of what was happening in the service seemed uninteresting, unrelated unimportant. He was bored stiff. Suddenly his wandering eyes noticed a bronze plaque prominently placed on the side wall. There he saw stars, letters, and the outline of an American flag. Nudging his mother and pointing to the plaque, he asked, “What’s that?” Graciously his mother replied, “Those are the names of people from our church who died in the service.” There was a long pause. Suddenly, with a sense of concern bordering on panic, he asked, “Mom, was that the 8:00 or the 11:00 service?” Why do we find this story humorous? Probably because we relate to the not-so-subtle implication that worship services can be dull and lifeless.

(www.Lockman.org) Psalm 100 No. 165 Introduction. I. In Luke the 17th chapter we read of Jesus traveling along the border between Samaria and Galilee. (Lk. 17:11-17). A. This familiar story teaches us a lesson on the great power and mercy of Jesus. It also teaches us a lesson on gratitude. These ten men were all completely healed of the horrible disease of leprosy, but only one gave thanks. Jesus praised the Samaritan because of his deep gratitude, but rebuked the 9 Jews because of their ingratitude. B. God wants us to be grateful. He wants us to give thanks . He wants us to count our blessings. II. One of the greatest of the psalms is psalm 100. This is a very short psalm, but one that is rich and full of meaning. A. It is a timeless psalm. It is “A Psalm For Thanksgiving” that was sung by the Jews as they were about to enter the temple gates. B. Listen as I read this beautiful and meaningful psalm. I will be reading from the New American Standard Bible. 1 Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness; Come before Him with joyful singing. 3 Know that the Lord Himself is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 ¶ Enter His gates with thanksgiving, And His courts with praise.

  • Study Guide Dec 14 Psalm
    FPC Small Group Study Guide for the sermon on Sunday, December 14, 2014 Third Sunday in Advent – Psalm 100 “Do You Hear What I Hear? Joy” Just as songs and hymns play an important role in Christian liturgy, many suggest that the psalms played a major role in the Israelite liturgy. Theologian Walter Brueggemann asserts that in the psalms are Israel’s expression of hurt and hope, and that the two hold each other in tension. The hurt is embedded among the stories of their past, and their hope is signaled by what the Lord has already done and what he will continue to do in setting the world aright. So as Israel remembers their hurt and clings to their hope, the psalmists often interject a psalm of praise or thanksgiving. Psalm 100 is a hymn of praise, one of the most common expressions among all the psalms. Many of its elements can be found in the Doxology that we sing regularly in worship. It is marked by a summons, then a series of imperative commands, and finally the reason for participating in the summons and obeying the commands. Read Psalm 100: His Steadfast Love Endures Forever A Psalm for giving thanks. 1 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! 2 Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! 3 Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! 5 For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
