Prayer Psalm 135 קלה

Baruch Ata,

YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, Avinu

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

We, Your servants YHVH who stand in Your house, the house of Ya’acov, and in Your courts, praise You, we praise Your name Elohey’nu  (our God).  For You have chosen Ya’acov for Yourself and we of Yisrael, his seed, as Your special treasure.  Yes, it is good and pleasant to praise You, Elohey Avotey’nu (God of our Fathers).

I know Abba, that You are great and that You are above all gods.   You will do, whatever You, Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe), please to do, in heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deep places.  For You cause the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; You make lightning for the rain; You bring the wind out of Your treasuries.

You Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), destroyed the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast.  You sent signs and wonders into the midst of Egypt, upon Pharaoh and all his servants.  You defeated many nations and slew mighty kings -- Sihon king of the Amorites, Og king of Bashan, and all the kingdoms of Canaan – You gave their land to our forefathers as an inheritance, a heritage to Yisrael Your people.  Your name, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel), endures forever, Your fame, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), throughout all generations.

The idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.  They have mouths, but they do not speak; eyes they have, but they do not see; they have ears, but they do not hear; nor is there any breath in their mouths.  Those who make them are like them; so is everyone who trusts in them.

You, YHVH - Shof’teynu (our Judge), will judge us, Your people; You will have compassion on Your servants.  All the house of Yisrael will praise You, all the house of Aaron will praise You, and all the house of Levi will praise Your holy Name YHVH.  All those who fear You, YHVH, El Shaddai (God Almighty), will praise You!  We praise You out of Tziyon, O YHVH Who dwells in Y’rusha’la’yim

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