    Dr. Yael Ziegler Pardes The Psalms 1 Psalms of Praise: “Pesukei DeZimra” 1) Shabbat 118b אמר רבי יוסי: יהא חלקי מגומרי הלל בכל יום. איני? והאמר מר: הקורא הלל בכל יום - הרי זה מחרף ומגדף! - כי קאמרינן - בפסוקי דזמרא R. Yosi said: May my portion be with those who complete the Hallel every day. Is that so? Did not the master teach: “Whoever recites the Hallel every day, he is blaspheming and scoffing?” [R. Yosi explained:] When I said it, it was regarding Pesukei DeZimra. Rashi Shabbat 118b הרי זה מחרף ומגדף - שנביאים הראשונים תיקנו לומר בפרקים לשבח והודיה, כדאמרינן בערבי פסחים, )קיז, א(, וזה הקוראה תמיד בלא עתה - אינו אלא כמזמר שיר ומתלוצץ. He is blaspheming and scoffing – Because the first prophets establish to say those chapters as praise and thanks… and he who recites it daily not in its proper time is like one who sings a melody playfully. פסוקי דזמרא - שני מזמורים של הילולים הללו את ה' מן השמים הללו אל בקדשו .

In our transliteration, when the syllable falls somewhere else other than the last syllable, that stressed syllable will be underlined. Example: Melech. Hebrew Rules The following are some of the Hebrew rules you may notice in our siddurim (connection books). In Hebrew, the accent generally falls on the last syllable, however it sometimes falls Kjl¤ n«¤ somewhere else in the word. Whenever a syllable other than the last is accented, a “meteg” (the vertical line under the first letter) will appear. The “masoret” above the letter Chaf indicates that this is a Kamatz Katan, which is lkǨ pronounced as “o”; in this example the word is “kol.” The “rafe” above a letter indicates it is a Shva Na.

  • The Oakbridge Volume 11, Issue 8
    OAKRIDGE COMMUNITY CHURCH May 2018 The Oakbridge Volume 11, Issue 8 I Dare You to Read This Book! From Pastor Jim Do you use your smartphone for more than phone calls? If you do, I challenge you to read 12 Ways Your Phone is Changing You by Tony Reinke. I challenge you to take the book seriously, ponder it carefully and ask yourself what you should do about what you have read. Why? Because, as those who were bought by the blood of the Lamb and who no longer live for ourselves but for Him who died on our behalf, we have the privilege and the responsibility to do all things to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31). How we view and use our phones, particularly our smartphones (along with our tablets, computers, iPods, etc.) is among the “all things” we are to do to His glory! Tony Reinke has provided a tremendous resource for helping us examine our hearts and our habits with regard to our use of our phones. He points out the serious dangers faced by smartphone consumers. His goal is not to make every reader abandon the smartphone (he still uses his and I still use mine on a daily basis after reading this book). Rather, his goal is to help every reader think through how to use the smartphone wisely, should the reader decide to keep it. Helpful guidance is given about prudently avoiding the dangers involved in smartphone use and purposefully striving to make sure what we do with our phones contributes to making much of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

  • 150 Days in the Psalms for the Lord Takes Pleasure in His People; He Adorns the Humble with Salvation
    150 Days in the Psalms For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation. This is it. It’s time to turn the page on 2020 into 2021. It’s been a long road. So much has happened this year; more than we could have possibly imagined. And, as to 2021, we know that the same challenges that we’ve had this year will still be with us. Covid will still cause massive disruptions, at least for a time. There will still be war, violence, drugs, gangs, racism, sickness, sadness, and all these things. People will make resolutions; they will be broken. Broken, because we live in a broken nation within a broken world. And yet, we close out this year with Psalms of pure, unadulterated praise. Whereas many of the Psalms spoke of faith and joy in the midst of unenviable turmoil, the hymnal of God’s people, both ancient and modern, ends with words of lavish praise for our Yahweh of the universe. It’s been a tough year, and praise has not always been on our lips. Yet, despite all that’s gone on, we can rest assured that the important things; the cosmic things; the eternal things have remained unchanged. We’re still sinners. We’re still saved. We’re still on the way to heaven. Jesus is still king, and the same yesterday, today, and forever. Psalm 148 speaks of raising up a horn for his people. This language, while archaic, is a metaphor for our salvation. God has indeed raised up salvation for us, and still does so today.

    LotH 150 @ Saint Raphael Wednesday of the Fifth Week of Easter – Office of Lauds 13 May at 7:30 AM Opening Verse O God +, come to my assistance. - O Lord, make haste to help me. Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, as always before so now and evermore. Amen. Alleluia Hymn – Light’s Glittering Morn Bedecks the Sky (we will sing to the tune Merciful Redeemer) Light’s glittering morn bedecks the sky, Heaven thunders forth its victor cry, The glad earth shouts its triumph high, And groaning hell makes wild reply: While he, the King of glorious might, Treads down death’s strength in death’s despite, And trampling hell by victor’s right, Brings forth his sleeping Saints to light. Fast barred beneath the stone of late In watch and ward where soldiers wait, Now shining in triumphant state, He rises Victor from death’s gate. Hell’s pains are loosed, and tears are fled; Captivity is captive led; The Angel, crowned with light, hath said, “The Lord is risen from the dead.” O Christ, the King who loves to bless, Do you our hearts and souls possess; To you we lift our joyful praise This day and for all endless days. Psalmody Antiphon 1 – You, O Lord, are the source of life, alleluia! Mode 8 (2-4 lines) 2: 1,4 • 3: 1,2,4 Psalm 66 O God be gracious and bless us and let your face shed its light upon us. So will your ways be known upon earth and all nations learn your saving help.

  • Partnering in Praise
    Steve Hancock Second Presbyterian Church Psalm 148 May 15, 2011 Partnering in Praise In January of 1968, jazz musician Duke Ellington and his orchestra performed a sacred concert at the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine. It was one of three sacred concerts he undertook to write, later indicating that he wrote the music for these concerts not as a matter of career, but in response to a greater understanding of his own vocation. His second sacred concert culminates in an eleven-minute finale entitled Praise God and Dance. It is based on the final psalm in our psalter, Psalm 150. Soprano soloist Alice Babbs starts out lofty and lyrical, singing “Praise God with the sound of the trumpet.” And the trumpet answers. “Praise God with the harp.” And the harp strums its way in. “Praise God with the sound of the timbrel.” And the percussion starts up. It goes on from there as the psalm does, praising God with the stringed instruments, the organ, the cymbal. “Let everything that breathes praise God,” the soloist encourages. Next comes a long and joyous jazz instrumental interlude, and then multiple singers come in together with the lines, “Praise God and dance. Dance. Dance. Dance.” On and on it goes, building and building until it nearly explodes, and at the end of eleven minutes the music ends and the concert ends. The concert was well-received when it was first performed in New York, and then well-received all over the country, and then in Europe, too. But in no place was it more enthusiastically received than in Barcelona, Spain, in the ancient church of Santa Maria del Mar.
