Prayer Psalm 119 Bet and Gimel

BET

I can cleanse my way, YHVH - Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe), by taking heed to Your word and seeking You with my whole heart.  I pray, let me not wander from Your commandments; but may I hide Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You with my lips.  I shall declare all the judgments of Your mouth.  I shall rejoice in the way of Your testimonies, as much as in all riches.  I shall meditate on Your precepts and contemplate Your ways.  I pray, Abba, that I shall always delight myself in Your statutes and not forget Your word.  Blessed are You, O YHVH - Moree (my Teacher); continue to teach me Your statutes!

GIMEL

Deal bountifully, YHVH - Mal’kee (my King), with Your servant and open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your Torah; so that I may live and keep Your word.  Because I am a stranger in the earth, do not hide Your commandments from me.  At all times, my soul longs for Your judgments and my heart’s desire is to keep Your commandments and to meditate on Your statutes.  Your testimonies also are my delight and my counselors.  I ask You, Elohey Tzedek (God of Righteousness), remove from me reproach and contempt; rebuke the proud and the cursed who stray from Your commandments, for their princes sit and speak against me.

PRAYER PSALM 19

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

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

The heavens, Abba, Elohey Yisrael, declare Your glory and the firmament reveals Your handiwork.  The heavens and the earth speak to me day after day of who You are, and night after night they reveal a knowledge of You that leaves me speechless and in awe of Your greatness.   Even though there is no audible sound of a language and their voice is not heard, never-the-less their line, their testimony, their witness of Your creative power and wisdom have gone out through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

O Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe), Bor’ee  (my Creator), You have given to the sun the firmament for a tabernacle, its course is already set towards its final destination as it begins its rising from one end of the heavens. This can be compared to a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, rejoicing like a strong man to run his race, for his course is also set towards his final destination, the marriage feast.  Just as there is nothing hidden from the heat of the sun, so too there is nothing hidden from the love of the Bridegroom for His bride.

O YHVH - Ohavi (my Lover), Chatani (my Bridegroom), Your Torah is perfect, preparing my soul for the marriage.   Your testimony is so secure that it will turn my simple ways into a path of wisdom.   My heart will rejoice in the uprightness of Your statutes and my eyes shall be enlightened by Your commandments.  May my reverence for You be pure and untainted, enduring forever.

Your judgments are true and righteous altogether. May I desire them, El Tzidki (God my Righteousness), more than gold, yes, more than much fine gold, for they are sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.  Moreover as Your servant, I am warned by them, but if I keep them and cherish them in my heart there is a great reward.

Yes, YHVH - Go’ali  (my Redeemer), I may at times err in Your ways, Abba, but I ask You, Yeshua’tee (my Salvation), to cleanse me from hidden faults and keep me, Your servant of righteousness, from presumptuous sins. Let not the power of sin have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, and I shall be innocent of great transgressions.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, Avi, Chizki (my Strength), and Go’ali  (my Redeemer).

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

Prayer Psalm 80

Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

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

O YHVH, Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), You have fed us, Your chosen ones, with the bread of tears and have given to us tears to drink in great measure.  You, El Ro’eh (God Who Sees and Provides), have made us an object of strife to our neighbors; and our enemies laugh at us among themselves.

As our husbandman, You brought us like a vine out of Egypt. You, Moshi’ee (my Savior/Deliverer), cast out the nations and planted us on our inheritance, in the land of Canaan.  You prepared room for us and caused our root to go deep into the soil and to grow until we filled the land.  The hills as well as the boughs of the mighty cedars were covered with the shadow of Your vineyard.  You, Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy), sent out our boughs to the sea and our branches to the river.

But because of our unfaithfulness, adultery and idolatry You, Shofet Tzedek (Judge of Righteousness), have broken down our hedges, so that all who pass by the way pluck our fruit.   The boar, out of the woods uprooted Your vineyard; and the wild beast of the field devoured it.

O YHVH – Elohey Yeshua’teynu (God of our Salvation), return.  We beseech You, Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), look down from heaven and see; visit Your vine and the vineyard which Y’min’cha (Your Right Hand) had planted, and the branch that You made strong for Yourself.  It has been burned with fire; it has been cut down; we have perished at the rebuke of Your countenance.

Restore us, O El HaKavod (God of Glory); cause Your face to shine, so that we may be saved!  Let Your hand be upon the man of Y’min’cha (Your Right Hand), upon the son of man whom You made strong for Yourself.  Revive us and we will call upon Your name; we will not turn back from You.  Restore us, O Tzur Yisrael (Rock of Israel).  Give ear, Ro’eh Yisrael (Shepherd of Israel), You who lead Yoseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth!  Before Ephraim, Binyamin, and Menasheh stir up Your strength and come and save us!  Cause Your face to shine, Elohey Yeshua’teynu (God of our Salvation), and we shall be saved!

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

Prayer Psalm 47

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

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

For You, El Elyon (God Most High), are awesome.  You, Mal’kee (my King), are a great King over all the earth.  You will subdue, under the feet of Your called-out ones, nations with their people.  You will give to us the promised inheritance, the excellence of our forefather, Ya’acov, whom You love.

You, YHVH – Yeshua’tee (my Salvation), have gone up with a shout “teru’ah”, with the sound of a trumpet.  Therefore I will clap my hands with all of Your people!  I will shout unto You, YHVH - Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), with the voice of triumph!  I will sing praises to You, Ro’eh Yisrael (Shepherd of Israel), Mal’kee (my King).  I will sing praises to You, Abba!  For You are Melech (King) of all the earth. I will sing praises with my understanding, knowing that You reign over all the nations and that You, El Gadol (Great God) sit on Your kadosh (holy set-apart) throne.

All Your princes, Your chosen firstborn, out of the people of the seed of Avraham are being gathered together.  We belong to You Abba, Elohey Israel, and are Your shields, that You use for the protection of the earth.  You, Melech HaKavod (King of Glory), are worthy to be praised and to be greatly exalted.

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

Prayer Psalm 50

PRAYER PSALM 50

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

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

O El Elyon (God Most High), You have spoken to the earth from the rising of its sun to its going down and have called out: "Hear, O My people, I am speaking to you O Yisrael, I will testify in you, that I am Elohim, Elohey Yisrael, Elohey’chem (your God)!  I am gathering to Myself My set-apart ones, those of you who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.  Those who have offered to Me thanksgiving and have paid their vows to Me.  Those of you who have ears to hear, I will not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt offerings, which are continually before Me.  However, I will not take a bull from your house, nor goats out of your folds.  For all the beasts of the forest are Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills.  I know all the birds of the mountains, and the wild beasts of the field are Mine.  Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?  Even if I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is Mine and all its fullness”.

“But I, Elohey Tzedek (God of Righteousness), also have a word to the wicked and those who rebel against My Torah:  ‘What right have you to declare My statutes or take My covenant in your mouth, seeing You hate instruction and cast My words behind you.  You give your mouth to evil, and your tongue frames deceit. You sit and speak against your brother and you slander your own mother's son.  When you saw a thief, you consented with him, and have been a partaker with adulterers.  These things you have done, and I kept silent, you thought that I was altogether like you, but I will rebuke you, and set them in order before your eyes.   Now consider this, you who have forgotten Me, lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver, if you will repent and call upon Me in the day of trouble, I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.  For whoever offers praise glorifies Me, and to him who orders his conduct aright I will show and reveal My salvation”.

You, YHVH - Cha’ta’nee (my Bridegroom), will shine forth out of Tziyon, the perfection of beauty.  You, Elohi (my God), shall come, and shall not keep silent.  A fire shall devour before You, and it shall be very tempestuous all around You.  O YHVH - El Shofet (Judge), You are the Judge who calls to the heavens above and to the earth, to bear witness of the judgments upon Your people, and as a result the heavens will declare Your righteousness.

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

PRAYER PSALM 110

Baruch Ata,

YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi

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

YHVH, You said to Adonee (my Lord), M’shi’chee (my Messiah), "Sit at My right hand, till I make Your enemies Your footstool."

Elohey Tziyon (God of Zion), I thank You for sending out of Tziyon the Messiah, who is the rod of Your strength, to rule in the midst of Your enemies! For You, El Ne’eman (Faithful God), have sworn and will not relent, that [Yeshua] – Adonee (my Master) is a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

Adoni (my Lord), Yeshua’tee (my Salvation), You are at my right hand; You shall execute kings in the day of Your wrath.  You, Shofet Tzedek (Judge of Righteousness), shall judge among the nations; You shall fill the places with dead bodies and execute the heads of many nations.  Your people, Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel), shall be willing volunteers in the day of Your power.  For in the beauty of holiness, from the womb of the morning, You, Mal’kee (my King), have the dew of Your youth.  Therefore You will lift up Your head when You drink from the brook by the wayside.

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

PRAYER PSALM 11

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

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

You, YHVH - El Kadosh (Holy/Set-Apart), dwell on Mount Tziyon in Mikdash Kodshe’cha (Your Set-Apart Temple), Your throne is in heaven; and Your eyes behold, Your eyelids test the sons of men.

I don’t understand, Abba, how You can say to my soul, "Flee as a bird to Your mountain"?  For look!  The wicked bend their bow, they have inserted their arrows into the bow string, that they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.  So what can the righteous do if our foundations are broken down? But You, YHVH – Tzur Yisrael (Rock of Israel), are a sure foundation for all those who will put there trust in You. 

You, El Shofet (Judge), may test the righteous, but the wicked and the one who loves violence Your soul hates. Upon the wicked You will rain coals; fire and brimstone and a burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.  For You, YHVH - El Tzid’kee, (my Righteousness), are righteous, You love righteousness; Your countenance beholds the upright. Therefore, in You, YHVH –Elohey Yisrael, I will put my trust.

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