Woodmere, New York 4th June 2018/21 Sivan 5778

Dovid HaMelech said ואני תפילה - I am Tefillah. He defined his entire being by the words that poured forth from his heart. These words, thoughts and feelings are always lingering deep within us, forever seeking a means of sincere expression. Our entire lives we have been reciting Tehillim.

My dear friend R Yitzchok Leib Bell, through his magnificent translation, is offering each one of us the exciting opportunity to get a glimpse of the king’s heart and to join him on his journey to kirvas Hashem.

We will no longer merely recite Tehillim. We will able to have a taste of ואני תפילה

For this I am eternally grateful.

May the zechus of every word uttered by every Jew using “Psalms That Speak To You” accompany R. Yitzchok Leib throughout his own journey until 120.

Providing us with a fresh, clear, and contemporary translation of Dovid’s Sefer Tehillim, R’ Yitzchok Bell Shlit”a, has undertaken a most admirable yet daunting task – and has succeeded beautifully with his “Psalms that Speak to You.” Weaving the commentaries of Rashi and other classic meforshim into his fluid and lucid translation, R’ Yitzchok Bell has facilitated a connection to the text that draws us immediately close to Dovid’s heart. The layout is an aesthetic treat, the choice and concise wording unmatched, the ease of use a true pleasure. And through his wonderful translation, R’ Yitzchok has shared his heart with us as well. The reader senses instantly that the translation’s author is a unique individual, who warmly invites the reader to join him on his quest for spiritual growth.Thank you, R’ Yitzchok, for your excellent and groundbreaking work. And thank you for opening up the world of our greatest king and master poet to readers the world over, forever changing the way we recite our daily Tehillim with your masterful “Psalms that Speak to You.”Yi’yasher ko’chacha and best wishes for continued abundant Siyata Dishmaya with all of your remarkable Avodas ha’kodesh!

1 For the conductor, a psalm by David.

2 Israel, may God answer in time of trouble.

May the Name of the God of Jacob shield you.

3 May He send you help from His holy place

and support you from Zion.

4 May He remember all that you offered to Him,

accept your prayers like burnt sacrifices.

5 May He give you what your heart desires

קמב ~ 142

Wherever I go,

they have hidden traps for me.

5 I look to the right, but see

nobody protesting on my behalf.

I have nowhere to flee;

there is no one concerned for me.

6 I cried to You, God.

I said, “You are my shelter!

You are all I have in the land of the living.”

ּבְאַֹרח־זּו ֲאַהּלְֵך

ָטְמנּו פַח לִי׃

ה ַהּבֵיט יִָמין ּוְרֵאה

וְֵאין־לִי ַמּכִיר

ָאבַד ָמנֹוס ִמֶּמּנִי

ֵאין ּדֹוֵרׁש לְנַפְִׁשי׃

ו זָעְַקִּתי ֵאלֶיָך יהוה

ָאַמְרִּתי ַאָּתה ַמְחסִי

ֶחלְִקי ּבְֶאֶרץ ַהַחּיִים׃

142 קמב ~

7 Listen to my cry,

for I have lost all that I had.

Rescue me from those who hound me,

for they are stronger than me.

8 Release me from this prison

so that I can thank Your Name.

May the righteous crown You because of me,

when You show me Your kindness.
