Once the inclusion of P’sukei D’zimra (“Verses of Song”) was codified by the geonim (the rabbinic leaders of the influential Babylonian Jewish community in the latter half of the 1st millennium), they ordained that it be preceded and followed with formal blessings: the opening blessing recited here and the blessing at the section’s conclusion (page 148). Most of the passages recited in this section are biblical and, therefore, this prayer calls them “the words of Your faithful servants.” “David’s songs” refers to the psalms, which constitute the bulk of this section; many scholars believe that Psalms 145–150 (pages 136–141) constituted the original core of P’sukei D’zimra." }, { "type": "Commentary", "text": "CALLED THE WORLD INTO BEING וְהָיָה הָעוֹלָם. God is often referred to by the sages as “the one whose word called the world into being.” This is based on the story in Genesis 1, in which all of creation emanates from God’s spoken fiat. For example, on the very first day, “God said, ‘Let there be light’—and there was light” (Genesis 1:3)." }, { "type": "Commentary", "text": "BARUKH HU, BLESSED BE THE ONE בָּרוּךְ הוּא.

Practices differ as to the call and response during the recitation of this poem. A version that has recently become popular includes reciting the words printed here in gray." }, { "type": "Commentary", "text": "COMPASSIONATE CREATOR הָאֵל הָאָב הָרַחֲמָן. The word translated here as “compassionate” comes from the root r-ḥ-m, which also means “womb.” Thus, this particular phrase can be understood as “the fatherly womb,” and wonderfully captures the way that God transcends gender." }, { "type": "Commentary", "text": "EXTOL, ACCLAIM, AND GLORIFY YOU נְגַדֶּלְךָ וּנְשַׁבֵּחֲךָ וּנְפָאֶרְךָ.

For she said: “This time will I praise and thank (odeh) Adonai” (Genesis 29:35), giving the name “Judah” (y’hudah) to her newborn son. Thus, the name “Jew,” derived from “Judah,” means “thankful.” —BABYLONIAN TALMUD" }, { "type": "MarginNote", "text": "Creating Through Speech Just as divine speech created the world, so too with human speech: what we give voice to becomes more substantive, more real.
