Psalm 27

"Seek My face." Your face, LORD, will I seek. Do not hide Your face from me. Do not turn Your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Do not reject or forsake me, God, my Savior. Were my father and my mother to forsake me, the LORD would take me in. Teach me Your way, LORD, and lead me on a level path, because of my oppressors. Do not abandon me to the will of my foes, for false witnesses have risen against me, breathing violence. » Were it not for my faith that I shall see the LORD's goodness in the land of the living. Hope in the LORD. Be strong and of good courage, and hope in the LORD! Mourner's Kaddish (below) MOURNERS KADDISH The following prayer, said by mourners, requires the presence of a minyan. A transliteration can be found on page 1389. Mourner: Sasm Magnified and sanctified may His great name be, in the world He created by His will. May He establish His kingdom, make His salvation flourish, and hasten His messiah, in your lifetime and in your days, and in the lifetime of all the house of Israel, swiftly and soon - and say: Amen. All: May His great name be blessed for ever and all time. Mourner: Blessed and praised, glorified and exalted, raised and honored, uplifted and lauded be the name of the Holy One, blessed be He, beyond any blessing, song, praise and consolation uttered in the world — and say: Amen. May there be great peace from heaven, and good lives for us and all Israel — and say: Amen. Bow, take three steps back, as if taking leave of the Divine Presence, then bow, first left, then right, then center, while saying: May He who makes peace in His high places, make peace for us and all Israel — and say: Amen. Many congregations recite the Song of Glory (page 634) at this point.
