Psalm 92 is a part of the Kabbalat Shabbat liturgy, used to
welcome the Sabbath into our homes and our lives. According to the Mishnah, this Psalm was sung
by the Levites in the ancient Temple each week before Shabbat began, and is a
foretaste of the time when every day will be like Shabbat. Verse 6 proclaims “Mah rabu ma’asecha Adonai! Me’od amku machsh’votecha – How great
are Your works, Adonai, how very subtle Your designs!” I tried to take some time this summer to find
moments to proclaim this phrase: Looking
out on a gorgeous valley, sitting on the shore watching the waves lapping the
sand, listening to the voices of children playing and singing in
friendship. Where else might we discover
an awareness of God’s creative process in our world? How do we respond?
