103

103 ⸻ (Intro – Spoken) Kneel towards Him, my breath. Let all within me honor His holy name. ⸻ (Verse 1) Kneel towards Him, my breath, and do not forget His dealings. He forgives all your twisted acts. He heals all your sicknesses. He pulls your life from the pit and surrounds you with loyal love and compassion. He fills your mouth with good things. Your youth rises again like the eagle. ⸻ (Chorus – Hebrew Chant) Bar’khi nafshi et Adonai Ha-rofeh l’khol tachalu’ayikh Bar’khi nafshi et Adonai Ha-soleach l’khol avoneikh ⸻ (Verse 2) The Lord acts righteousness and justice for all who are crushed. He made His ways known to Moses, His deeds to the children of Israel. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, rich in loyal love. He will not always accuse, nor hold His anger forever. ⸻ (Chorus – Hebrew Chant) Bar’khi nafshi et Adonai Ha-rofeh l’khol tachalu’ayikh Bar’khi nafshi et Adonai Ha-soleach l’khol avoneikh ⸻ (Verse 3) He has not dealt with us as we deserve, nor repaid us for our twisted acts. As high as the heavens over the earth, so strong His loyal love toward those who honor Him. As far as sunrise from the west, so far He casts our guilt away. As a father has compassion on children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. ⸻ (Chorus – Hebrew Chant) Bar’khi nafshi et Adonai Ha-rofeh l’khol tachalu’ayikh Bar’khi nafshi et Adonai Ha-soleach l’khol avoneikh ⸻ (Verse 4) He knows our frame. He remembers we are dust. Our days are grass that blooms and fades. A field-flower — the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. But the loyal love of the Lord is from age to age upon those who honor Him, to children’s children who keep His covenant and remember to walk His commands. ⸻ (Chorus – Hebrew Chant) Bar’khi nafshi et Adonai Ha-rofeh l’khol tachalu’ayikh Bar’khi nafshi et Adonai Ha-soleach l’khol avoneikh ⸻ (Outro – Spoken) The Lord has set His throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all. Bow to the Lord, His messengers, mighty in strength, who do His word, hearing the voice of His word. Bow to the Lord, all His servants, who do His will. Bow to the Lord, all His works, in every place of His dominion. Kneel towards Him, my breath. ⸻ (Final Chorus – Repeat and Fade) Bar’khi nafshi et Adonai Ha-rofeh l’khol tachalu’ayikh Bar’khi nafshi et Adonai Ha-soleach l’khol avoneikh Bar’khi nafshi et Adonai Bar’khi nafshi et Adonai (repeat and fade into silence)
