The earliest poetic additions to the liturgy were collections of biblical verses, such as this prayer. It is recited daily and is included in all rites. A seemingly natural poetic flow from one verse to the next is created by the presence of similar words in consecutive verses. The contemplation of God’s power becomes a setting for affirming the promise of the redemption of the people Israel and the defeat of the destructive designs of nations. The verses quoted here are: Psalm 104:31, Psalm 113:2–4, Psalm 135:13, Psalm 103:19, 1 Chronicles 16:31, Psalm 10:16, Psalm 93:1, Exodus 15:18, Psalm 10:16, Psalm 33:10, Proverbs 19:21, Psalm 33:11, Psalm 33:9, Psalm 132:13, Psalm 135:4, Psalm 94:14, Psalm 78:38, and Psalm 20:10." }, { "type": "Commentary", "text": "ADONAI IS SOVEREIGN, ADONAI HAS ALWAYS BEEN SOVEREIGN, ADONAI WILL BE SOVEREIGN FOREVER AND EVER יְהֹוָה מֶלֶךְ, יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ, יְהֹוָה יִמְלֹךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד.

The wiping away of sin makes redemption possible. These last two verses are found frequently in Jewish liturgy, in prayers that—like this one—date from the earliest centuries of the 1st millennium C.E., and are comprised of an anthology of biblical verses. (For example, see Kedushah D’sidra, page 216, and Taḥanun, the weekday penitential prayers following the Amidah.) Similarly, these same verses precede the Barkhu, the call to worship, in the weekday evening service (page 264). Knowing that God forgives our sins allows us to begin our prayers with a sense of purity." }, { "type": "MarginNote", "text": "The People Israel Life appears dismal if not mirrored in what is more than life. Nothing can be regarded as valuable unless assessed in relation to something higher in value. Humanity’s survival depends on the conviction that there is something that is worth the price of life. It depends upon a sense of the supremacy of what is lasting. That sense of conviction may be asleep, but it awakens when challenged. In some people it lives as a sporadic wish; in others it is a permanent concern. What we have learned from Jewish history is that if a person is not more than human then he or she is less than human. Judaism is an attempt to prove that in order to be a human being, you have to be more than a single human, that in order to be a people we have be more than a people. Israel was made to be a “holy people.” This is the essence of its dignity and the essence of its merit. —ABRAHAM JOSHUA HESCHEL" } ] } }, "links": [ { "rel": "parent", "title": "Siddur Lev Shalem (Excerpts)", "href": "/siddur/lev-shalem.json" }, { "rel": "prev", "title": "Verses of Song", "href": "/siddur/lev-shalem/lev-28-134-shabbat-and-festivals-morning-service-verses-of-song.json" }, { "rel": "next", "title": "Verses of Song", "href": "/siddur/lev-shalem/lev-30-136-shabbat-and-festivals-morning-service-verses-of-song.json" } ] }
