Psalms- Tehilim :)
I love the fact that the wonderful prayers of Psalms have a place in daily Orthodox prayers. And ever since, by the mercy of God, I started to love this poetic and great book to pray. The more I read it, the more love I feel toward this book. Therefore, I am so glad when my friend offered to give me a copy of Hebrew Tehilim to read and I accepted that joyfully!
I had never learned Hebrew before, so it was a little bit challenging to read the Hebrew alphabets. But praise the Lord, I start memorizing the alphabets and also the vowels and read some of the chapters with the guidance of Learning Hebrew book and also the audio format. It's very fun to learn to read it, because I really love to learn languages (although, sometimes not very consistent in learning :P ).
Because it is an interlinear version, it allows me to learn word by word transliteration behind the Hebrew text and that makes me more keen to learn it. It has been a great experience :D. Glory to God!
טוֹב, לְהֹדוֹת לַיהוָה; וּלְזַמֵּר לְשִׁמְךָ עֶלְיוֹן
לְהַגִּיד בַּבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ; וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ, בַּלֵּילוֹת
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High;
To declare Thy loving kindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,
(Psalm 92:2-3).
Ameyn!
