about

This emotional Middle Eastern setting of the psalm expresses the work involved in walking a path of integrity; sometimes the biggest challenge can be to act with justice and kindness within one's own home. The last four lines of the text also suggest that we extend the notion of our own house beyond the physical walls, and behave with kindness toward everyone. The clarinet solo references the Jewish folk tune "Et Dodim," whose sensual words of love are taken from the Song of Songs.

lyrics

PSALM 101
Lyrics (Hebrew) : Psalm 101. Music: Jessi Roemer

Hesed u'mishpat ashira
lecha, Adoshem azamera
Askila baderech tamim
matai tavo eilai
Ethalech b'tom levavi
b'kerev beiti (2x)
Ra' lo 'eda (8x)

Translation:
Of lovingkindness and justice I will sing
to you, God, I will sing
I will try to walk the simple path
when it comes to me
in the domain of my house
I will not know evil
