PRAYER PSALM 7 ז

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.

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

O YHVH - Eloheynu  (our God), in You, Abba, we put our trust; save us El Yeshua’teynu (our Salvation), from all those who persecute us; and deliver us, lest they, like a lion tear us in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

Behold, El Ezreynu (our help), the wicked bring forth iniquity; yes, they conceive trouble and bring forth falsehood.  They made a pit and dug it out, but let them fall into the ditch, which they have made.  Let their trouble return upon their own head, and their violent dealing come down on their own crown.

Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just; as for the righteous, El Shofet (Judge) will test their hearts and minds.  However, our defense is Elohey Yeshua’teynu (God of our Salvation), who saves the upright in heart. Elohim is a just Shofet (Judge), and is angry at the wicked every day.

If the rebellious do not repent and turn back, You, YHVH - Elohey Tzva’ot Yisrael (God of the Armies of Israel), will sharpen Your sword; You will bend Your bow and make it ready.  You also prepare for Yourself instruments of death, by making Your arrows into fiery shafts.  ”For You have bent Yehudah, Your bow, fitted the bow with Ephraim…and made them into the sword of a mighty man" (Zech 9:13).

Arise, O YHVH, return on high, and in Your anger; lift Yourself up because of the rage of our enemies; rise up for us , Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov, to the judgment You have commanded; so that the congregation of your people Yisrael may surround You.

O YHVH - Eloheynu (our God), if we have repaid evil to him who was at peace with us, or have plundered our neighbor without cause, if there is iniquity in our  hands and if we have done this; let the enemy pursue us and overtake us; yes, let him trample our life to the earth, and lay our honor in the dust. 

YHVH - El Shofet Yisrael (Judge of Israel), You shall judge the peoples.  Also judge us, O YHVH – Elohey Chesed (God of Lovingkindness), according to our righteousness, and according to our integrity within us. Therefore, we will praise You, YHVH - Elohey Tzid’keynu (our Righteousness), according to Your righteousness, and we will sing praise to Your name, YHVH - El Elyon (God Most High).

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

PRAYER PSALM 131

Baruch Ata,

YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, Avi

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

I pray, Abba Ba’sha’ma’yim (Father in Heaven), that my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty.  Help me not to concern myself with great matters, nor with things too profound for me.  My desire is to abide in You, M'na’cha’mee (my Comforter), so that my soul will stay calm and quiet, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child so should be my soul within me.

I pray that all Yisrael will put its faith and hope in You, YHVH - Elohey Yeshua’tee (God of my Salvation), from this time forth and forever.  

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

Prayer Psalm 104 קד

Baruch Ata,

YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, Avi

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

I will praise You, YHVH, Elohi (my God).  With all my heart and soul, I will   praise You.  For You are very great and You are clothed with honor and majesty. 

You, Boreh Olam (Creator of the Universe), cover Yourself with light as with a garment.  You stretch out the heavens like a curtain; You lay the beams of Your upper chambers in the waters.  You make the clouds Your chariot; You walk on the wings of the wind.  You make Your angels spirits and Your ministers a flame of fire.  You, Elohey Emet (God of Truth), laid the foundations of the earth, so that it would not be moved, forever.  You covered it with the deep as with a garment; its waters stood above the mountains, and at Your rebuke they fled; at the voice of Your thunder they hastened away.  They went up over the mountains; they went down into the valleys, to the place, which You founded for them.  You have set a boundary that they may not pass over, so that they may not return to cover the earth.

In this great and wide sea, there are innumerable teeming things, living things both small and great.  There the ships sail about, and the Leviathan, which You have made, plays there.  These all wait for You, that You may give them their food in due season.  What You, El Ro’eh (God Who Sees and Provides), give them, they gather in; You open Your hand; they are filled with good.  But if You hide Your face, they are troubled, and if You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.  But then when You send forth Your Spirit, they are created, and You renew the face of the earth.

You water the hills from Your upper chambers.  You send the springs into the valleys; they flow among the hills; they give drink to every beast of the field; even the wild donkeys quench their thirst.  You cause the grass to grow, for the cattle and the vegetation, for the service of man, that he may bring forth food from the earth and wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread which strengthens man's heart. 

YHVH, El Ne’eman (Faithful God), Your trees are full of sap, the cedars of L’vanon, which You planted and the fir trees where the birds make their nests, and the stork has her home.  Because of You, the birds of the heavens have their home and sing among the branches.  You also have made the high hills for the wild goats, and the cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers.

You have appointed the moon for seasons, and the sun knows its going down.  You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the beasts of the forest creep about.  The young lions roar after their prey and seek their food from You, Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe).  When the sun rises, they gather together and lie down in their dens.  But man goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening.

You look on the earth, and it trembles; You touch the hills, and they smoke.  The earth is full of Your possessions.   O YHVH, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom, You have made them all.  May Your glory endure forever and may You always rejoice in Your works.  The earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works.  But may sinners be consumed from the earth, and the wicked be no more.

 

I will sing to You, Bor’ee  (my Creator), as long as I live.  While I have my being, I will sing praise to You, Elohi (my God).  My meditation of You will be sweet; I will be glad in You, Elohey Yeshua’tee (God of my Salvation).  I exalt You, YHVH; my soul praises You! 

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

Prayer Psalm 108 קח

Baruch Ata,

YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, Avi

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

Is it not You, YHVH - Shofet Tzedek (Judge of Righteousness), who has cast us off? Was it not You, O Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel), who did not go out with our armies?  We pray YHVH - Mephaltey’nu (our Rescuer), give us help from trouble, for the help of man is useless.  But through You, Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), we will do valiantly, for it is You who shall tread down our enemies.

YHVH - K’vodey’nu (our Glory), You have spoken in Your holiness that You would rejoice, that You would divide Shechem and measure out the Valley of Succoth.  You, Elohey Emet (God of Truth), have proclaimed that Gilead is Yours, as well as Manasseh. You ordained Ephraim as the helmet for Your head and Judah as Your lawgiver.  However, Moab is Your wash pot; over Edom You said You would cast Your shoe; and over Philistia You have declared Your triumph."

O Abba, who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom? I pray that my heart will remain steadfast; for I will sing and give You praise, even with my glory, so that Your beloved may be delivered; save me with Y’min’cha (Your Right Hand) and hear me. For I will praise You, YHVH - El Ne’eman (Faithful God), among the peoples, and I will sing praises to You among the nations.

 I will awaken the dawn with the lute and the harp.  For Your mercy is great above the heavens, and Your truth reaches to the clouds.  Be exalted, Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy), above the heavens, and may Your glory be above all the earth.

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

PRAYER PSALM 123 קכז

Baruch Ata,

YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, Avi

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

I shall lift up my eyes to You, Ezree (my Help), You who dwell in the heavens, until You have mercy on me.  Have mercy on me, YHVH - Moshi’ee (my Savior/Deliverer), have mercy on me, for my soul has been filled with contempt, with the scorn of those who are at ease and full of pride.

O YHVH, Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy), for just as the eyes of servants look to the hand of their masters or the eyes of a maid to the hand of her mistress, so will my eyes look to You.  

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

Prayer Psalm 30 ל

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

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

I will extol You, O YHVH - El Elyon (Most High), for You have lifted me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me.  You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.  But if I do go down there, what profit is there in my blood?  Will the dust praise You, Elohey Emet (Elohim of Truth); will it declare Your truth?

O YHVH - Roph’ee (my Healer), when I cry out to You in my supplication, You heal me.  But if You hide your face from me, I’m in trouble.

Hear, YHVH - Go’ali  (my Redeemer), and have mercy on me and be my helper!  You, Ezree (my Helper), have turned for me my mourning into dancing. You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.  YHVH - Ma’oozee (my Strong Tower), by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong and as a result, now in my prosperity, I say "I shall never be moved."

I will sing praise to You, El Ro’eh (God Who Sees and Provides), with all Your redeemed ones, and give thanks at the remembrance of Your Kadosh (Set-Apart) name.  For Your anger may last only for a moment, but Your favor is for life.  Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.  To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Elohey Yeshu’ati (my Salvation), I will give thanks to You forever.

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

Prayer Psalm 15 טו

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

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

O YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, Avi (my Father), my heart yearns to abide in Your tent and to dwell in Your Kadosh (Holy/Set-Apart), hill. But You require, O El Tzid’kee (my Righteousness), that I walk uprightly before You, doing works of righteousness.  You ask me to speak the truth in my heart and not to backbite or slander with my tongue, nor do evil to my neighbor.

I long to have your Torah written on my heart, that I will not take up a reproach against a friend; but will honor those who fear You, YHVH - El Gadol (Great God).  I pray that my eye will despise a vile person, and that I will never take a bribe against the innocent.  If I can accomplish these few things, You said Elohey Ya’acov, that I shall dwell in Your house and never be moved.

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