Chesed ve-Emet - Johana Kocnarova

When I decided to create my own blog, I was inspired to name it 'chesed ve-emet' a Hebrew phrase which means 'lovingkindness and truth'.

Then I was led, to check the web for things related to 'chesed ve-emet' and providentially, I came across a beautiful rendition of Psalm 85:10-11 in Hebrew by Johana Kocnarova. The lyrics in Hebrew (English transliteration) and the English translation are as follows:

Chesed ve'emet nifgashu

Tsedek veshalom nashaku
Emet me'erets titsmach
Vetsedek mishamayim nishkaf

Lovingkindness and truth have met

Justice and peace have kissed each other

Out of the earth truth shall spring

And from heaven justice shall look down.

So with a grateful and joyful heart, I lift up to my Lord Jesus Christ a small offering to the glory of His name.
