PRAYER PSALM Alef

PRAYER PSALM א

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu

                    (Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of Israel, our Father)

We are blessed by You, Avinu, when we do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful, but our delight is in Your Torah, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, and in Your Torah we will meditate day and night.  For then we shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season; our leaf also shall not wither and whatever we do we will prosper.

However, the lawless (or ungodly) are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.  Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in Your judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For You, YHVH - Elohey Tzid’kenu (our Righteousness), know the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
 
Hallelu-Yah!!!  For You, YHVH, are Elohim. You are Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov.  Avinu the Almighty reigns!

     These Prayer Psalms do not endeavor to be yet another translation of scripture, but rather have been altered and rearranged to emphasize the importance of the identity of the God of Israel and our personal relationship to Him.  They are intended mainly for personal use.
