Beautiful!  I love the 23rd Psalm.  It was the first scripture I learned as a child.

I've never heard Hebrew before.  I wish there were some way I could put together what you are singing with the English words.  Are you just singing the words of the Psalm?

I got as far as 'Psalm of David' in the title but then I quickly got lost lol.

[Yeshua-Song]

sorry that is not me singing. that is someone else named Yosef Karduner.

try this: the Jesus Film from Campus Crusade for Christ in Hebrew:

OK.  Here is what he is singing [more or less lol].  What I can't figure out is why this bears so little resemblance to my E-Sword Hebrew.  Any ideas on that?  Is spoken Hebrew different from written Hebrew?  Or what? :dontknow:





Mizmor l'David,  [Song of David]
Ado-n-oy/Hashem ro-i lo echsar. [the LORD is my shepherd I shall not want]
Bin-os desheh yarbitzeini [He maketh me to lie down in green pastures ]
al mei m'nuchos y'nahaleini. [He leadeth me beside the still waters]

Nafshi y'shoveiv [He restoreth my soul]
yancheini v'ma-aglei tzedek l'ma-an sh'mo.  [He leadeth me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake]
Gam ki eileich b'gei tzalmaves  [Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death]
lo ira ra [I will fear no evil]
ki atah imadi  [for Thou art with me]
shivtcha u'mishantecha  [Thy rod and Thy staff]
heimah y'nachamuni. [they comfort me]

Ta-aroch l'fanai shulchan [Thou preparest a table before me]
neged tzor'rai.[in the presence of mine enemies]
Dishanta vashemen roshi  [Thou anointest my head with oil]
kosi r'vayah.[my cup runneth over]
Ach tov vachesed yir-d'funi [Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me]
kol y'mei cha-yay, [all the days of my life]
v'shavti b'beit Ado-n-oy/Hashem [and I will dwell in the house of the LORD]
l'orech yamim. [forever]

This might explain it.

Hebrew vs. Israeli
ON LANGUAGE

Israeli linguist Ghil'ad Zuckerman, whose new Hebrew book, "Hebrew as Myth," will appear this coming year, thinks I am wrong to call "denigrating" Yiddish linguist Dovid Katz's use of the term "Israeli" rather than "Hebrew" for the contemporary language of Israel. Mr. Zuckerman writes:

"On the contrary! It is time to acknowledge that the language spoken by Israelis is very different from the Hebrew of the past.... Israeli speakers are still brainwashed to believe that they speak the language of Isaiah (with mistakes), i.e., that today's revived Hebrew is purely Semitic... Israeli is a hybrid language, simultaneously Semitic and Indo-European. I would argue that both Yiddish (the revivalists' mother tongue) and Hebrew (as a literary and liturgical language) acted equally as its primary contributors, accompanied by many secondary contributors: Russian, Polish, German, Ladino, Arabic, English, etc.... Thus, the term 'Israeli' is far more appropriate than the misleading 'Israeli Hebrew,' let alone 'modern Hebrew' or 'Hebrew' tout court."

The fact is, precisely because it was not spoken for nearly 2,000 years until its late 19th-century revival and thus remained frozen in many ways, Hebrew has changed far less over time than any other language spoken on the face of the earth today.

Properly the same as H5920 used as a preposition (in the singular or plural, often with prefix, or as conjugation with a particle following); above, over, upon, or against (yet always in this last relation with a downward aspect) in a great variety of applications: - above, according to (-ly), after, (as) against, among, and, X as, at, because of, beside (the rest of), between, beyond the time, X both and, by (reason of), X had the charge of, concerning for, in (that), (forth, out) of, (from) (off), (up-) on, over, than, through (-out), to, touching, X with.



28And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

29And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

--Mat 14

 :cloud9: Wow, that was cool........big difference from beside and upon, eh? How could the Jews have missed that when He walked on the water.......Blessings....

[Jerm]

Wow, that was great!  It's so easy to forget that the Psalms were actually songs and not just texts.  Does this guy by chance have CDs or stuff on iTunes?
