Corporate Prayer Psalm 61

 

Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.

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

 

Hear our cry, O Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel); attend to our prayer, Abba; or when our hearts are overwhelmed, El Tzu’rey’nu (our Rock), lead us to the Rock that is higher than we.  You are Misga’bey’nu (our Stronghold); for You have been a shelter for us, a strong tower from the enemy.  You have hidden us, O Sit’rey’nu (our Hiding Place), under the shadow of Your wings, so that we may dwell in Your tent.

 

From the ends of the earth, we shall cry out to You, El Ro’ey’nu (God Who Sees and Provides for us); for You will hear our vows.  You will give us the inheritance that You have chosen for us, because we fear Your name.  We thank You, YHVH, and praise You, Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe); because You have prolonged the life of our King and made His years many generations; for He abides before You, El Olam (Eternal God), forever. Your Mercy and Truth preserve Him.  Thus, shall we sing praise to Your name and pay our vows daily, giving glory to You, Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), forever.

 

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

Corporate Prayer Psalm 144

                             Baruch Ata,YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu

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

 

YHVH - Tzu’rey’nu (our Rock), We bless You, Elohey Chas’dey’nu (God of our Mercy), M’tzuda’tey’nu (our Fortress), Misga’bey’nu (our Stronghold) and Miphla’tey’nu (our Refuge), M’gee’ney’nu (our Protector/Shield) and the One in whom we take refuge, You who subdue people under us, and who train our hands for war, and our fingers for battle.

 

Rescue us; and deliver us from the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak lying words, and whose right hands are right hands of falsehood; but even though man is like a breath; and his days are like a passing shadow; yet You are mindful of him; and You take knowledge of him.

 

Bow down Your heavens, YHVH - Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe), and come down; touch the mountains; and they shall smoke.  Flash forth lightning and scatter them; shoot out Your arrows and destroy them.  Stretch out Your hand from above; and rescue us and deliver us out of great waters, from the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speaks vain words, and whose right hands are right hand of falsehood.  May our sons be as plants grown up in their youth; may our daughters be as pillars sculptured in palace style.  May our barns be full, supplying all kinds of produce; may our sheep bring forth thousands even tens of thousands in our fields; may our oxen be well-laden; may there be no breaking in nor going out; and may there be no outcry in our streets.  Happy are the people who are in such a state; happy are the people whose Elohim is YHVH!

 

We will sing a new song to You, Elohey Yeshua’tey’nu (God of our Salvation); on a harp of ten strings we will sing praises to You, to You who gives salvation to kings, and to You who delivered David Your servant from the deadly sword. 

 

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

Corporate Prayer Psalm 51

                           Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.

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

 

O YHVH - Bor’ey’nu (our Creator), You know that we were brought forth in iniquity, and in sin our mother conceived us.  Therefore, we acknowledge our transgressions, and our sin is always before us.   Against You, You only, have we sinned and done evil in Your sight.  Therefore, El Shofet (Judge), You are just when You speak and blameless when You judge.  For You desire truth in the inward parts and in the hidden part You, Elohey Emet (God of Truth), will make us to know wisdom.

 

O YHVH - Moshi’ey’nu (our Deliverer), have mercy upon us, according to Your loving kindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies blot out our transgressions.  Wash us thoroughly from our iniquity and cleanse us from our sin. Deliver us from the guilt of bloodshed, O YHVH - Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation).  Hide Your face from our sins and blot out all our iniquities.  Purge us with hyssop, and we shall be clean; wash us and we shall be whiter than snow.  Make us hear joy and gladness, that the bones You have broken may rejoice.

 

Then create in us a clean heart, O YHVH, and renew a steadfast spirit within us.  Do not cast us away from Your presence and do not take from us Ruach Kod’she’cha (Spirit of Your Holiness).  Restore to us the joy of Your salvation and uphold us by a generous spirit.

 

For You, El Go’aley’nu (our Redeemer) do not desire sacrifice or delight in burnt offerings, else we would give it. However, the sacrifices that You are interested in are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart; these, O YHVH, You will not despise.  And while our heart is in this condition, we shall teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will be converted to You.

 

We pray, Abba, in Your good pleasure be merciful to Tziyon and build the walls of Yeru’shala’yim.  Then You will be pleased with the true sacrifices of righteousness, and those who are in Tziyon will burn offerings and whole burnt offerings on Your altar.

 

O YHVH - Elohey Tzid’kay’nu (God our Righteousness), open our lips, and our mouth will show forth Your praise, and our tongue will sing aloud of Your righteousness.

Corporate Prayer Psalm 73

Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.

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

Truly You, YHVH - Elohey Tziyon (God of Zion), are good to Yisrael and to those who are pure in heart.  But as for us, our feet had almost stumbled, our steps had nearly slipped when we saw the prosperity of the wicked; we were envious of the boastful.  For there are no pangs in their death, and their strength is firm.  They are not in trouble as other men, nor are they plagued like other men.  Pride serves as their necklace, and violence covers them like a garment.  Their eyes bulge with abundance; they have more than the heart could wish. They would even drain the waters out of a full cup and keep on returning to do the same.  They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; they speak loftily as they set their mouth against the heavens, while their tongue walks through the earth.  They say, "How does Elohim know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?"  Behold, these are the ungodly, who are always at ease and increase in riches.  It is sad to think that we were envious of these boastful ones.

 

Surely we have cleansed our heart in vain and washed our hands in innocence. For all day long we have been plagued and chastened every morning.  If we had said, "we shall speak like them,” behold, we would have been untrue to the generation of Your children, Abba.  When we thought how to understand this, it was too painful for us, until we went into Your sanctuary, YHVH - Shofet Tzedek (Judge of Righteousness); only then did we understand their end.  For You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction.  O, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!  They are utterly consumed with terrors.  As a dream when one awakes, so You, El Tzadik (Righteous God), when You awake, You will despise their image.  For indeed, those who are far from You will perish, for You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.  Because of this, our hearts were grieved; and we were vexed in our mind.  We were so foolish and ignorant; we were like a beast before You, El Elyon (God Most High).  Nevertheless we are continually with You.  You hold us by Your right hand; and You, Yo’a’tzey’nu (our Counselor), guide us with Your counsel and afterward receive us to glory.

 

Who have we in Heaven but You, El K’vo’dey’nu (our Glory)? For there is none upon earth that we desire besides You, Abba Ba’sha’ma’yim (Father in Heaven).  Our flesh and our heart may fail, but You are Ma’o’zey’nu (our Strong Tower) and the strength of our heart. You, El Olam (Eternal God), are our portion forever.  Therefore it is good for us to draw near to You, Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy), and to put our trust in You, Elohey Yeshua’tey’nu (God of our Salvation), so that we may declare all Your works.

Corporate Prayer Psalm 27

 

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu.

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

 

YHVH – Orey’nu (our Light), and Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), whom shall we fear?  Because You, Abba, are El Chai’yey’nu (our Life), Ma’o’zey’nu (our Strength), whom shall we be afraid of?  Even when our wicked enemies and foes are like an army encamped against us, and they rise up to devour our flesh through war, our heart shall not fear, for our confidence is in You, Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), for they will stumble and fall.

 

In these times of trouble, You are, M’tzuda’tey’nu (our Fortress), and You will hide us in Your strong tower, in the secret place of Your tabernacle You will shelter us; You, will set us high upon a rock, so that our head will be lifted up above our enemies all around us.  We pray, Abba, do not deliver us to the will of those adversaries who breathe out violent and false accusations against us!

 

Hear, YHVH – Ribon Olam (Sovereign), when we cry with our voice! Have mercy upon us and answer us. Do not hide Your face from us.  Do not turn Your servant away in anger. You have been our help; therefore, do not leave us nor forsake us, O El Go’aley’nu (our Redeemer). Even though our fathers and our mothers may abandon us, You, Ro’eh Yisrael (Shepherd of Israel), will take care of us.

 

Therefore, we will offer sacrifices of joy in Your tabernacle, and we will sing, yes, we will sing praises to You, YHVH El Tzu’rey’nu (our Rock). For there is one thing that we have desired of You, El Ro’ey’nu (our God Who Sees and Provides), that will we seek.  We want to behold Your beauty and to inquire in Your temple so that we may dwell in Your house, the restored house of Ya’acov, all the days of our life.

 

You have asked us to seek Your face.  You know, Abba, that our heart yearns to look upon Your face, so teach us Your way, O YHVH, and lead us in a smooth path for Your name's sake and because of our enemies.  For we would have lost heart, unless we had believed that we would see Your goodness in the land of the living.  Therefore we will wait upon You, El Elyon (Most High), so that You will give us courage and strengthen our hearts.

Corporate Prayer Psalm 57

                            Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu.

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

 

Our soul trusts in You, El Ne’eman (Faithful God), and in the shadow of Your wings we will make our refuge until calamity passes by.  We will cry out to You, who performs all things for us.  Be merciful to us YHVH - Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy); be merciful to us, for You, Abba, Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), will send from heaven and save us.  You will send forth Your mercy and Your truth.

 

You have seen how our soul is among lions; how we lie among the sons of men who are set on fire, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.  They have prepared a net for our steps; they have dug a pit before us.  We pray that they themselves will fall into the midst of it. O M’gee’ney’nu (our Protector/Shield), our soul is bowed down; therefore reproach the ones who would want to swallow us up!

 

Be exalted, YHVH - El Elyon (Most High), above the heavens.  Let Your glory be above all the earth.  Awake, our glory!  Awake, lute and harp!  We will awaken the dawn.  We will praise You, Moshi’ey’nu (our Savior/Deliverer), among the peoples.  We will sing to You among the nations.  For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, and Your truth unto the clouds.  May our heart be steadfast, O YHVH - Sit’rey’nu (our Hiding Place), may our heart be steadfast.  We will sing and give praise, exalting You above the heavens YHVH - El HaKavod (God of Glory), that Your glory will be above all the earth. Amen!

 

Corporate Prayer Psalm 42

                                           Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu.

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

 

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so yearns our soul for You, Elo’hey’nu (our God) Cha’ta’ney’nu (our Bridegroom).  Our soul thirsts for You, El Cha’ye’nu (our Life), for deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls.  You, YHVH are the only one true living Elohim.

 

O Abba Ba’sha’ma’yim (Father in Heaven), we used to go with the multitude.  We went with them to a building to worship You; We went with the congregation that kept Your feast days.  We even went with a voice of joy and praise.  But now because of the way our enemies reproach us, it is as if they are breaking our bones by continually calling out, and mockingly saying: “Where is your Elohim?  Where is Elohey Yisrael?”

 

Why does our soul feel so cast down?  Why are we so despondent?   Why do we go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?  When we remember these things, we pour out our soul within us.   Our tears become our food day and night.  We will say to You, Sal’ey’nu (our Boulder/Rock), “Why have You forgotten us?”  All Your waves and billows have gone over us.  When will we again appear before You?

 

Elohey Shlo’mey’nu (our Peace), You will command Your lovingkindness, Your mercies in the daytime, and in the night Your faithfulness will be turned into a song within us.  Therefore we will remember You from the land of Yarden, from the Hill of Mitz’ar and from the Heights of Chermon.  For You, Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), are the only help and hope for our soul.  Even though at times we are cast down, we will praise You and give You glory.
