Oh, to have shavah and to be astonished into stillness...








Psalm 131


A song of maalah (feminine: elevation--journey to a higher place--a climactic progression) of David.


Yhovah, Self-existent One, my feelings, will and intellect--my center is not gabahh (soaring, lofty,proud,lifted up), nor is my 'ayin (eye,outward appearance, face) rum (to be high, actively to rise, exalt,proud): neither do I halak (walk, be conversant,exercise, run along) myself in gadol (great, insolent, high, long, loud, mighty, more, noble, proud things), or in things pala ( to distinguish, make great, difficult, wonderful..be too hard..things too high) from or out of me.

Truly, I have shavah (to level, equalize, resemble, adjust, counterbalance, behave, make plain, reckon) and damam (to be dumb, to be astonished, to stop, hold peace, quiet self, rest, be silent, keep silence, be, still, tarry, wait) my nephesh (vitality, breathing creature) as a child that is gamal (wean, bestow on, deal bountifully, requite, ripen) according to her 'em (mother as the bond of the family): my nephesh (vitality) is gamal.
