Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu.
(Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of Israel, our Father)
We come before You, O El Ra’chum (Compassionate God), with sorrow
in our hearts. We know that we ourselves
have been born in sin, and that we was estranged and went astray from the womb;
that we, like all the sons of men, thought in our pride that we were speaking
righteousness and judging uprightly; but, in truth, we were working wickedness
and speaking lies in our hearts, and weighing out violence from our hands on
the earth. It was like the poison of a
serpent. We were like a deaf cobra that
stopped up its ears and could not heed the voice of a skilled charmer.
But You, YHVH -
Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), have had compassion on us, and
now we ask You to reach out also to others by Y’min’cha (Your Right Hand). But those who stand up and resist You and
Your called-out ones break their teeth in their mouth, O Shofet Tzedek (Judge
of Righteousness)! Break out the
fangs of the young lions, El Shaddai (Almighty)! Let them flow away as waters which run
continually; let them be like a snail which melts away as it goes, like a
stillborn child of a woman, that they may not see the sun. When they bend their bow, may their arrows be
as if cut in pieces. In Your living and
burning wrath, YHVH, take them away as with a whirlwind, even before their pots
can feel the burning thorns.
However, when You wash Your feet in the blood of
the wicked, Your righteous ones will see Your vengeance, and will rejoice,
because then men shall say, "Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely
He is YHVH - Shofet Tzedek (Judge of Righteousness), who judges on
the earth."
Hallelu-Yah!!!
For You, YHVH are Elohim. You are
Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov. Avi'nu the Almighty reigns!
