ListenPsalm 29: Mizmor L'David Shlomo Carlebach This psalm falls out of the sequence started from our selections, Psalm 95: L'chu N'ran'na through Psalm 99: Rom'mu. The Kabbalistic poets who created Kabbalat Shabbat used Psalm 29 because as the sixth song in the sequence before L'cha Dodi, it represents the penultimate day before Shabbat after God completed the act of creation. This psalm references the words "Kol Adonai" throughout, the Voice of God. Once again, the image of creation is set forth through the sounds of nature. This psalm features all of the sounds of creation as it manifests itself through the voice of God. At the end of the psalm, it tells how God sat enthroned upon the flood upon the completion of the creation. Jan 01, 2005 |
