God!
The Heavens manifest Your splendor,
The sky, Your fingerprint,
How eloquent its message!
Each day speaks to the one that follows
and each night imparts what it knows to the next
Not words, no speech,
though nothing is heard -
it has voice.
Their waves encircle the globe
to the end of the universe
they give word
The sun, he is at home in them.
And he - the sun -
like a proud lover
who comes forth from his tryst
Rejoices like a sprinter
speeding on his track.
From one end of the sky
he bursts forth
and his circuit touches the entire rim.
And there is no hiding from his heat.
So is God's teaching total
so does it invigorate the spirit
So trustworthy is God's witness
making the confused wise
So are G-d's ventures direct
so hearts are at bliss |
Awe of God brings purity
lasting through all changes
God's determination makes for Truth
in which all are made right.
God's ways, are
more attractive than gold,
more than heaps of jewels
More pleasurable than honey
and delicate sweets
I am devoted to You,
I want to glow in them
in their practice I find refuge
Who can apprehend
one's own errors
Please clear me
from what I am unaware
Also from wanton harming
protect me, Your attendant,
let evil not control me
Then will I be made whole
And from all guilt
will I be cleared
God!
May the prayers I speak
and the awareness in my heart
be transparent to You
God! Please support and free me.
Amen! |
