Jehi kewod

Jehi kewod ( Hebrew יְהִי כְבוֹד ה 'לעולם; dt. "The glory of God remains forever") is a Jewish prayer .

description

It is recited daily during the Psuke desimra before Aschrei . The sequence - Jehi kewod before Aschrei - is significant: Jehi kewod shows the external image of God as the omnipotent Master. The first half of the prayer describes God as the master of nature. The second half describes God as the master of history. Aschrei, however, symbolizes the inner relationship between God and man, in which God appears as a helper and comforter, whose goodness is always close to the worshiper.

The Ashkenazi version has 18 verses where the number 18 is significant. The name of God is mentioned 21 times in prayer, alluding to the 21 verses in Aschrei. The prayer consists of a series of verses recited during the Psuke desimra in the following order:

• Psalm 104:31
• Psalm 113: 2-4
• Psalm 135:13
• Psalm 103:19
