Text

(יד) יוֹנָתִ֞י בְּחַגְוֵ֣י הַסֶּ֗לַע בְּסֵ֙תֶר֙ הַמַּדְרֵגָ֔ה, הַרְאִ֙ינִי֙ אֶת־מַרְאַ֔יִךְ הַשְׁמִיעִ֖נִי אֶת־קוֹלֵ֑ךְ כִּֽי־קוֹלֵ֥ךְ עָרֵ֖ב וּמַרְאֵ֥יךְ נָאוֶֽה׃

(14) O my dove, in the cranny of the rocks, Hidden by the cliff,
Let me see your face, let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet and your face is comely.

Yonai bechagvei hassela, beseter hamadrega, har'ini et mar'ayich, hashmi'ini et kolech, ki kolech arev u'mar'ech naveh.

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.
