Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

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

In Yehuda, You, Elohey Tziyon (God of Zion), are known; Your name is great in Yisrael.  In Sha’lem (Yeru-Salem) also is Your succah, and Your dwelling place is in Tziyon.  It is from there that You, Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), will break the arrows of the bow, the shield and sword of battle.  The stout hearted will be plundered; they will sink into their sleep and none of the mighty men will find the use of their hands.  At Your rebuke, O Elohey Ya’acov (God of Jacob), both the chariot and horse will be cast into a dead sleep.  You will cut off the spirit of princes.

You Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel) have set Your King on Your holy hill of Tziyon (Zion).  You have declared of Him, “You are My Son, today I have begotten You.  Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession.  You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.”  Therefore, I will delcare: “be wise O kings, be instructed you judges of the earth, serve YHVH - Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel), with fear, and rejoice with trembling.  Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little”.

You, Melech HaKavod (King of Glory), are more awesome than all the kings of the earth. You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.  You, Yourself, are to be feared, for who may stand in Your presence when once You are angry? 

When You Shofet Tzedek (Righteous Judge), arise to judge and to deliver all the oppressed of the earth, You will cause judgments to be heard from heaven; and the earth will fear and be still.  Surely the wrath of man will praise You, Elohey Emet (God of Truth); and with the remainder of wrath You will gird Yourself.  You are Shofet Tzedek (Judge of Righteousness); You put down one and exalt another.  In Your hand there is a cup and the wine is red; it is fully mixed; and You will pour it out; surely its scum will all the wicked of the earth drain and drink down.

Therefore I shall make vows to You, YHVH - Elohey Yeshua’tee (God of my Salvation), and pay them.  Let all who are around You stand in awe and bring presents to You—the sacrifice of praise.  I shall declare Your name forever; I shall sing praises to You, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob). I shall give thanks to You, O YHVH - Elohey Tzedek (God of Righteousness); I shall give thanks!  For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near.

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