Text
Psalm 27 is recited daily from Elul through the High Holidays. We have changed the Hebrew to address the divine in the feminine.
לָךְ אָמַר לִבִּי בַּקְּשׁוּ פָנַי, אֶת־פָּנַיִךְ הֲוָיָה אֲבַקֵּשׁ׃
In Your behalf my heart says: “Seek My face!”
Havayah, I seek Your face.
Lach amar libi bakshu fanai, et panayich Havayah avakesh
Resources
Method
More than the melodies! At Nava Tehila, we've developed chant-based prayer services that are inclusive, ecstatic, and transformative. Ready to bring this musical prayer method to your community? Check out our tutorials.
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. Click the "Text" source title above to open these biblical verses in Sefaria, where rich commentary is directly linked to the text.
