(ז-ח) יִרְעַם הַיָּם וּמְלֹאוֹ תֵּבֵל וְיֽשְׁבֵי בָהּ: נְהָרוֹת יִמְחֲאוּ־כָף יַֽחַד הָרִים יְרַנֵּֽנוּ:

(7-8) Let the sea and all within it thunder, the world and its inhabitants; let the rivers clap their hands, the mountains sing joyously together.

Yir’am hayam um’lo’o, tevel veyoshvey vah, Neharot yimcha’u chaf, yachad harim yeranenu

Kavvanot

In the Nava Tehila method, kavvanot — intentions for inner engagement with the words of prayer — are developed through close attention to the language of the psalms: Pshat, Midrash, and Kabbalistic and Hasidic illumination.
