Lo vigvuras ha’sus yechpatz, lo v’shokei ha’ish yirtzeh. Rotzeh Hashem es y’rei’av, es ha’m’yachalim l’chasdo.
Not in the strength of the horse does He desire, and not in the legs of man does He favor. Hashem favors those who fear Him, those who hope for His kindness.
We have previously completed the brachah of Ahavah Rabbah in our Tefilah Focus series. At this time, in connection with the Yom Tov of Shavuos, we are adding these thoughts, which did not appear in our initial segments.
Nosein liv’heimah lachmah, livnei oreiv asher yikra’u.
He gives to an animal its food, to young ravens that cry out.
Enu laShem b’sodah, zamru leilokeinu b’chinor.
Call out to Hashem with thanks; with the harp, sing to our G-d.
Ha’m’chaseh shamayim b’avim, ha’meichin la’aretz matar, ha’matzmiach harim chatzir.
Who covers the heavens with clouds, Who prepares rain for the earth, Who makes mountains sprout with grass.
M’odeid anavim Hashem; mashpil r’sha’im adei aretz.
Hashem encourages the humble; He lowers the wicked down to the ground.
