Great is Adonai, greatly to be praised, though Your greatness is unfathomable. One generation praises Your works to the next, telling of Your mighty deeds. I would speak of Your majestic glory and of Your wondrous acts. Generations speak of Your awe-inspiring deeds; I, too, shall recount Your greatness. They recount Your great goodness, and sing of Your righteousness. Adonai is merciful and compassionate, patient, and abounding in love. Adonai is good to all, and God’s mercy embraces all of creation. All of creation acknowledges You, and the faithful bless You.
Commentary ASHREI. According to Rabbi Eleazar (3rd century, Land of Israel) speaking in the name of his teacher, Abina, the daily recitation of Psalm 145 opens a pathway to eternity. The Babylonian Talmud explains that it is an alphabetical acrostic (although it is missing one letter, nun) that symbolically encompasses the variety of praises of God, and that it contains an especially appropriate description of the thankfulness with which we are to approach God: “You open Your hand, satisfying all the living with contentment” (Berakhot 4b). An additional reason for its frequent use in the liturgy is that the psalm expresses a dual posture of faithfulness. “I” express my faithfulness to God, and the psalm then describes that God faithfully cares for those devoted to God. The two themes are interwoven throughout the psalm, which then concludes with a final assertion that not only “I” but “all that is mortal” will praise God. It is this expression of a covenantal relationship, in which God and humanity respond to each other, that makes Ashrei both an appropriate introduction to prayer (as it is in Minḥah), and an appropriate conclusion to prayer (as it is in the weekday Shaḥarit service). Here, it serves in both of those roles: concluding Shaḥarit and the Torah service, and simultaneously introducing Musaf. For synagogue use, two verses were added to the beginning of Psalm 145, both of which begin with the word ashrei, “joyous” (Psalms 84:5 and 144:15), and it was these additional verses that gave the name “Ashrei” to this prayer. The first verse, which speaks of those who “dwell in Your house,” is especially appropriate in the context of synagogue prayer. Similarly, at the end, the verse “we shall praise Adonai now and always” was appended from Psalm 115:18.
MarginNote After reading the Torah, we recite the line “joyous are they who dwell in Your house,” inviting us to ponder what truly makes God—and us—feel at home. Dreaming of Home We want so much to be in that place where we are respected and cherished, protected, acknowledged, nurtured, encouraged, heard. And seen, seen in all our loveliness, in all our fragile strength. And safe, safe in all our trembling vulnerability. Where we are known and safe, safe and known—is it possible? —MERLE FELD
