Baruch
Ata,
YHVH
- Elohey Yisrael, Avi
(Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of Israel, my
Father).
Abba
Ba’sha’ma’yim (Father in Heaven), I give thanks to You, and I call upon Your
name, YHVH - Elohey Yeshua’tee (God of my Salvation), singing psalms and remembering
Your marvelous works which You have done, Your wonders, and the judgments of Your
mouth, making known Your deeds among the peoples; talking of all Your wondrous
works and glorying in Your Kadosh (holy/set-apart), Name.
O Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak
and Ya’acov (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), because I am one of the seed of
Avraham Your servant, and a child of Ya’acov, a chosen one, You are Elohi (my
God); Your judgments, Shofet Tzedek (Righteous Judge), are in all the earth. You, El Ne’eman (Faithful God), remember Your
covenant forever, the word which You commanded, for a thousand generations, the
covenant which You made with my father Avraham and Your oath to Yitzchak, and
confirming it to Ya’acov for a statute, to Yisrael as an everlasting covenant, saying,
"To you I will give the land of Canaan as the allotment of your
inheritance.”
When my
forefathers were few in number, indeed very few and strangers in it, when they
went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people, You,
Moshee’ah (Savior/Deliverer), permitted no one to do them harm; Yes, You
rebuked kings for their sakes, saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, and
do My prophets no harm." Moreover You
called for a famine in the land; You destroyed all the provision of bread. You sent a man before them--Yoseph--who was
sold as a slave. His slave masters hurt
his feet with fetters and laid him in irons, until the time that Your word came
to pass, and Your word tested him. Then,
the king sent and released him; the ruler of the people let him go free. He made him lord of his house and ruler of
all his possessions, to bind his princes at his pleasure and teach his elders
wisdom. Later, Yoseph’s father, Yisrael
also came into Egypt; Ya’acov dwelt in the land of Ham.
You YHVH
- Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel), increased Your people greatly and made them
stronger than their enemies. But then You turned the hearts of their masters to
hate them, to deal craftily with Your servants.
However, You sent Moshe, Your servant, and Aaron, whom You had chosen. They performed Your signs among them and
wonders in the land of Ham. You sent
darkness and made it dark, but they still rebel against Your word. You turned their waters into blood and killed
their fish. Their land abounded with
frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.
You spoke, Elohey Emet (God of Truth), and there came swarms of flies and
lice into all their territory. You gave
them hail for rain and flaming fire in their land. You struck their vines also and their fig
trees, and splintered the trees of their territory. You spoke, and locusts came, Young locusts
without number, and ate up all the vegetation in their land and devoured the
fruit of their ground. You also
destroyed all the firstborn in their land, the first of all their
strength. You then brought out my
forefathers, with silver and gold, and there was none feeble among Your tribes.
Egypt was glad when they departed, for
the fear of them had fallen upon them.
You
spread over Your people a cloud for a covering and fire to give light in the
night. When they asked You, El Ro’eh (God
Who Sees and Provides), for meat, You brought quail and satisfied them with the
bread of heaven. You, Tzur Yisrael (Rock
of Israel), opened the rock, and water gushed out; it ran in the dry places
like a river. For You remembered Your
holy promise, to Avraham Your servant and brought out Your people with joy, and
Your chosen ones with gladness. You,
Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe), gave them the lands of the Gentiles, and
they inherited the labor of the nations, so that they might observe Your
statutes and keep Your Torah.
I will
seek You, Elohey Avoti (God of my Fathers).
YHVH, You are Misga’bee (my Stronghold), and Oo’zee (my Might); I will seek
Your face always! Let my heart rejoice
as I seek You, YHVH - Ro’yee (my Shepherd), and Mal’kee (my King). Praise You!
Hallelu-Yah!!! For You,
YHVH, are Elohim. You are Elohey
Yisrael, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov.
Avi the Almighty reigns!
