Discussion of Psalm 27

How is this for a throw back? This is a video from 2011 when I was leading services and teaching at OneShul, an online synagogue. Yes…they existed before 2020.

Psalm 27 Chant

You are my light and my refuge,
Who should I fear?

One thing (One thing)
One thing (One thing)
One thing I ask of you.

To behold your Sweetness
And gaze on your Palace

Shelter me
Raise me up!

You are my light and my refuge,
Who should I fear?

One thing (One thing)
One thing (One thing)
One thing I ask of you.

To dwell in the house of the Lord
All the days of my life.
