(1) For the leader; on the gittith. Of the Korahites. A psalm.
(2) How lovely is Your dwelling-place, O LORD of hosts.
(3) I long, I yearn for the courts of the LORD; my body and soul shout for joy to the living God.
(4) Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself in which to set her young, near Your altar, O LORD of hosts, my king and my God.
(5) Happy are those who dwell in Your house; they forever praise You.Selah.
(6) Happy is the man who finds refuge in You, whose mind is on the [pilgrim] highways.
(7) They pass through the Valley of Baca, regarding it as a place of springs, as if the early rain had covered it with blessing.
(8) They go from rampart to rampart, appearing before God in Zion.
(9) O LORD, God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob.Selah.
(10) O God, behold our shield, look upon the face of Your anointed.
(11) Better one day in Your courts than a thousand [anywhere else]; I would rather stand at the threshold of God’s house than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
(12) For the LORD God is sun and shield; the LORD bestows grace and glory; He does not withhold His bounty from those who live without blame.
(13) O LORD of hosts, happy is the man who trusts in You.

A Prayer for Prayer
O My God
My soul's companion
My heart's precious friend
I turn to You.
I need to close out the noise
To rise above the noise
The noise that interrupts -
The noise that separates -
The noise that isolates.
I need to hear You again.
In the silence of my innermost being,
In the fragments of my yearned-for wholeness,
I hear whispers of Your presence -
Echoes of the past when You were with me
When I felt Your nearness
When together we walked -
When You held me close, embraced me in Your
love, laughed with me in my joy.
I yearn to hear You again.
In your oneness, I find healing.
In the promise of Your love, I am soothed.
In Your wholeness, I too can become whole again.
Please listen to my call-
help me find the words
help me find the strength within
help me shape my mouth, my voice, my heart
so that I can direct my spirit and find You in prayer
In words only my heart can speak
In songs only my soul can sing
Lifting my eyes and heart to You.
Adonai S'fatai Tiftach -open my lips, precious God,
so that I can speak with You again.

() רְפָאֵנוּ ה' וְנֵרָפֵא. הושִׁיעֵנוּ וְנִוָּשֵׁעָה כִּי תְהִלָּתֵנוּ אָתָּה. וְהַעֲלֵה רְפוּאָה שְׁלֵמָה לְכָל מַכּותֵינוּ.
() תפילה בעד החולה: יְהִי רָצון מִלְּפָנֶיךָ ה' אֱלהַי וֵאלהֵי אֲבותַי. שֶׁתִּשְׁלַח מְהֵרָה רְפוּאָה שְׁלֵמָה מִן הַשָּׁמַיִם. רְפוּאַת הַנֶּפֶשׁ וּרְפוּאַת הַגּוּף לְחולֶה פב"פ בְּתוךְ שְׁאָר חולֵי יִשרָאֵל:
() כִּי אֵל מֶלֶךְ רופֵא נֶאֱמָן וְרַחֲמָן אָתָּה. בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה ה', רופֵא חולֵי עַמּו יִשרָאֵל:
Heal us, O Lord, and we shall be healed, save us and we shall be saved, for You are our praise. Bring complete healing to all our wounds,
(Prayer to add for a sick person: May it be Your will in front of You, O Lord, my God and the God of my forefathers, that You quickly send a complete recovery from the Heavens - a recovery of the soul and a recovery of the body - to the the sick person, insert name, the son/daughter of insert mother's name, among the other sick ones of Israel.)
for You are God and King, the faithful and merciful healer. Blessed are You, O Lord, Who heals the sick of his people Israel.

What is to weep? To weep is to sow.
What is to laugh? To laugh is to reap.
Look at this man weeping as he goes.
Why is he weeping?
Because he is bearing in his arms the burden of the grain he is about to sow.
And now, see him coming back in joy.
Why is he laughing?
Because he bears in his arms the sheaves of the harvest.
Laughter is the tangible harvest, plenitude.
Tears are sowing; they are effort, risk, the seed exposed to drought and to rot,
the ear of corn threatened by hail and by storms.
Laughter is words,
tears are silence....
It is not the harvest that is important: what is important is the sowing, the risk, the tears.
Hope is not in laughter and plentitude.
Hope is in tears, in the risk, and in its silence.
