For great upon us is Divine mercy,
and the truth of the Cause is forever!
Praise the Source!
“The Cause” is used to translate the Divine Name, based on the philosophical idea of God as the Prime Mover and on the interpretation of the Name as a causative form of the copula – “causes to be.”
Psalms 117 is part of the Hallel Shalem or Ḥatsi Hallel near the end of Shaḥarit on festival days.

Name: the Masoretic Text Bio: The Masoretic Text is the authoritative Hebrew and Aramaic text of the Tanakh for Karaite and Rabbinic Judaism. It was primarily copied, edited and distributed by a group of Jews known as the Masoretes between the 7th and 10th centuries CE. The Masoretic Text defines the Jewish canon and its precise letter-text, with its vocalization and accentuation known as the Masorah.
