Of David. O LORD, strive with my adversaries, give battle to my foes, 2 take up shield and buckler, and come to my defense; 3 ready the spear and javelin against my pursuers; tell me, “I am your deliverance.” 4 Let those who seek my life be frustrated and put to shame; let those who plan to harm me fall back in disgrace. 5 Let them be as chaff in the wind, the LORD’s angel driving them on. 6 Let their path be dark and slippery, with the LORD’s angel in pursuit. 7 For without cause they hid a net to trap me; without cause they dug a pit for me. 8 Let disaster overtake them unawares; let the net they hid catch them; let them fall into it when disaster [strikes]. 9 Then shall I exult in the LORD, rejoice in His deliverance. 10 All my bones shall say, “LORD, who is like You?

Tehilim: Chanukah Special, Seeing God in a Thank You Welcome to NachDaily, covering the entire TANACH one perek at a time. I’m Rabbi Shaya Sussman, sharing words of chizuk and emunah as they relate to Tehilim, tefilah, and Chanukah. The days of Chanukah are days of hoda’ah- gratitude.

During the Haneros Halalu prayer immediately after lighting the menorah, we say that the eight days of Chanukah were established k’dey lahodos u’lahallel es Shimcha hagadol - to express gratitude and thanks to God’s great Name. Rebbe Nachman explains, in his sefer Lekutei Maran, that the more you give thanks to someone, the closer you are to that person. By recognizing and appreciating the goodness that person did for you, the closer the relationship becomes. When we give hoda’a to Hashem, the Master of the world, therefore, the closer we become to Him. The more you recognize Him, the more you can feel His Presence. E

The Torah begins with: בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ וְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָיְתָ֥ה תֹ֙הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ וְחֹ֖שֶׁךְ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י תְה֑וֹם וְר֣וּחַ אֱלֹהִ֔ים מְרַחֶ֖פֶת עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַמָּֽיִם׃ When God began to create heaven and earth—the earth being unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the abyss and a wind from God sweeping over the water… Chazal explain that the words וְהָאָ֗רֶץ הָיְתָ֥ה תֹ֙הוּ֙ וָבֹ֔הוּ וְחֹ֖שֶׁךְ עַל־פְּנֵ֣י תְה֑וֹThe earth was unformed and void, with darkness over the surface of the tahom- abyss are reference to the four exiles that will take place throughout the course of world history. The last of the expressions is the word tahom, black abyss. Tahom means a never ending pit, something that is so long, so dark, that you can never reach the bottom of it. Chazal continue to explain that tahom corresponds to the last galus, Edom, the exile in which we’re currently living. This galus has been long
