Re Tanakh versions:
Throughout
this site I may use any of three versions of the Tanakh: 1. “Jewish Publication Society” (JPS-1917), 2. “Mechon-Mamre.org” (MEC), and 3. “Sefaria.org” (SEF), three brilliant versions, However, the
JPS-1917 is my preferred version!
Colour coded
details of our beloved TaNaKh:
1. Torah =
History & Law, 2. Nevi’im = The Prophets. 3. *Ketuvim = all other Writings.
*The Ketuvim - Includes, Poetical
books - Psalms, Proverbs, Job, the Megillot,
or Scrolls - Song of Solomon, Ruth, Lamentations of
Jeremiah, Ecclesiastes, and Esther, prophecy of Daniel, and history
of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Chronicles I & II.
Please Note: Some alterations
or (additions) have been made relating to ‘Names’ and ‘Attributes’ of אֱלֹהִים - Elohim (God), having been corrected like it once was pre
the “Masoretic Text”.

Remember the following truth from our beloved Torah!
“Ye shall NOT ADD TO THE WORD which
I command you, NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH FROM
IT, that ye may keep the commandments of אֱלֹהֵיכֶם יְהוָה - the LORD your Eloleichem,
which I command you”. Davarim -
Deuteronomy 4:2. (JPS-1917).

Friday: Psalm 93.
“1. יְהוָה - the LORD reigneth; He is clothed in majesty; יְהוָה - the LORD is clothed, He hath girded Himself with strength; yea, the world is established, that it cannot be moved. 2. Thy throne is established of old; Thou art from everlasting. 3. The floods have lifted up, O יְהוָה - LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring. 4. Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, יְהוָה - the LORD on high is mighty. 5. Thy testimonies are very sure; holiness becometh Thy house, O יְהוָה - LORD, for evermore”.

The Song of the Day for Friday celebrates majesty, stability, and absolute sovereignty. It has been explained that it was chosen for Friday because אֱלֹהִים - Elohim finished His work of Creation on this day and began His Majestic reign over the universe.
Friday: Psalm 93 (The Song of the Day for Friday).
Verse 1: (Text
- “יְהוָה - the LORD reigneth; He is clothed with majesty...”):
Ibn Ezra notes that unlike human kings who put on
royal robes made by others, אֱלֹהִים -
Elohim’s majesty is His intrinsic essence. Because He
is the supreme ruler, ‘the world also is established, that it cannot be moved’.
Despite how ‘chaotic’ and ‘unstable our ‘physical world’ or our ‘health’ might
feel, the underlying spiritual reality is perfectly secure in His hands.
Verse 2: (Text
- “Thy throne is established of old; Thou art from everlasting”.):
The Midrash teaches that אֱלֹהִים -
Elohim’s throne of mercy was created before the
physical universe existed. His capacity for compassion and eternal connection
to creation predates time itself.
Verses 3-4:
(Text - “The floods have lifted up, O יְהוָה - LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice...”):
The ‘floods’ and ‘mighty waves of the sea’ represent the roaring, chaotic
nations of the world, or the overwhelming crises that threaten to drown a
person. The Psalmist guarantees that ‘Above the voices of many waters... יְהוָה - the LORD on high is mighty’. אֱלֹהִים -
Elohim sits serenely above the roaring storms of life.
His power infinitely eclipses any earthly threat, illness, or chaos.
Verse 5: (Text - “Thy testimonies are very sure; holiness
becometh Thy house, O יְהוָה - LORD, for evermore”.):
The Psalm concludes by anchoring us back to reality. The physical
