A song for the High Holydays, inspired by Psalm 51 and the recent class on forgiveness taught by Rabbi Vivie Mayer
Psalm 51
hesed verakhamim
[lovingkindness and compassion]
my bones
my spirit
my heart are crushed
(2x)
my bones
my spirit
my heart
cry out for grace
ha-nei-ni
[be gracious to me]
I have done wrong
in so many ways
avon, fesha, ra, heit
avon, fesha, ra, heit
avon, fesha, ra…
[iniquity, transgressions, evil, sin]
hesed verakham
my bones
my spirit
my heart are crushed
(2x)
my bones
my spirit
my heart
cry out for grace
and for a giving spirit
to stand by me
ha-nei-ni
hesed verakhamim
