Prayer Psalm 71

PRAYER PSALM 71

Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

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

Deliver me, Elee (my God) and Moshi’ee (my Savior/Deliverer), out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.  For my enemies speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life take counsel together, saying, "Elohim has forsaken him; pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.”  O YHVH - Ro’yee (my Shepherd), do not be far from me.  O M’gee’nee (my Protector/Shield), make haste to help me!  Let them be confounded and consumed who are adversaries of my life.  Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.

Deliver me in Your righteousness and cause me to escape; incline Your ear to me and save me, Yeshua’tee (my Salvation).  Be my strong refuge, for You are Miphla’tee (My Refuge) to Whom I may resort continually.  For I have become as a wonder to many, but You are my strong refuge.

You have given the commandment to save me, Tzu’ree (my Rock) and M’tzuda’tee (my Fortress). You are Tikvatee (my Hope), O YHVH - El Ne’eman (Faithful God); You are my trust from my youth.  You, Abba, have upheld me from birth.  You took me out of my mother's womb.  I pray, El Ra’chum (Compassionate God), do not cast me off in old age; do not forsake me when my strength fails.  You have shown me great and severe troubles; but You, Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy), will revive me and bring me up again from the depths of the earth.  You, Shofet Tzedek (Judge of Righteousness), have confounded and brought to shame those who seek my hurt; but You will increase my greatness and comfort me on every side. Therefore my praise will be continually of You, YHVH - M'na’cha’mee (my Comforter).

O YHVH - Elohey Emet (God of Truth), You have taught me from my youth; and to this day I declare Your wondrous works.  May my mouth be filled with Your praise and with Your glory; and may I tell of Your righteousness and Your salvation all the days, for I cannot count them. My tongue also will speak of Your righteousness all the day long.  O El Elyon (God Most High), You are very high; You have done great things; O El Yeshua’tee (God my Salvation), who is like You?

O El Olam (Eternal God), when I am old and gray headed do not forsake me, until I declare Your strength to this generation, Your power to everyone who is to come.  I shall go forth in Your strength; and I shall make mention of Your righteousness, of Yours only, El Chiz’kee (God my Strength).  My lips will greatly rejoice when I shall sing to You, and my soul, which You have redeemed.  With the lute I shall praise You for Your faithfulness, O El Ne’eman (Faithful God).  To You I shall sing with the harp, O Kadosh (Holy/Set-apart) of Yisrael.  In You, Cha’ya’i (my Life), I put my trust; let me never be put to shame.  I shall hope continually, and shall praise You yet more and more.

Hallelu-Yah!!!  For You, YHVH, are Elohim.  You are Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov.  Avi the Almighty reigns!
