A Portion of Psalm 89

 Corporate Prayer Psalm from Psalm 89

Mercy will be built up forever. Your faithfulness, El Ne’eman (Faithful God), You will establish in the very heavens.  Therefore we shall sing of Your mercies, YHVH - El Ra’chum (Compassionate God), forever; and with our mouth will we make known Your faithfulness to all generations.  The heavens will praise Your wonders, El HaKavod (God of Glory); Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.  For who in the heavens can be compared to You, Elohim Chayim (Living God)? Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to You, Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe)?

 

YHVH, You are greatly to be feared in the assembly of Your called out ones and to be held in reverence by all those around You.  For who is mighty like You, El Gadol (Great God)? Your faithfulness also surrounds You.  You, Boreh Olam (Creator of the Universe), rule the raging of the sea.  When its waves rise, You still them.  You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one who is slain. You, Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.  The heavens are Yours; the earth also is Yours; the world and all its fullness, for You have founded them.  The north and the south, You have created them; Tavor (Tabor) and Hermon rejoice in Your name.

 

You have a mighty arm, and strong is Your hand, and high is Y’min’cha (Your Right Hand).  For righteousness and justice are the foundations of Your throne; mercy and truth go before Your face.

Therefore, we who know the joyful sound are blessed! For we walk, O YHVH - Orey’nu (our Light), in the light of Your countenance, and in Your name we rejoice all day long, for in Your righteousness we are exalted.  You, El HaKavod (God of Glory), are the glory of our strength; and in Your favor our horn is exalted.  For our shield belongs to You, YHVH. You are Mal’keynu (our King), the Kadosh (holy/set-apart) One of Yisrael.  Blessed be Your Name forevermore! Amen and Amen.

 

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

CORPORATE PRAYER PSALM 72

                                          Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu                                        (Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of Israel, our Father)

 

O YHVH - Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe), we thank You for giving to our King, Yeshua HaMashiach, Your judgments, O Elohey’nu (our God), and Your righteousness to Your Son.  He will judge Your people with righteousness and Your poor with justice.  He will bring justice to the humble of the people; He will save the children of the needy and will break in pieces the oppressor.  He will deliver the needy when he cries, the poor also and him who has no helper.  He will spare the poor and deprived and will save the souls of the needy.  He will redeem their life from oppression and violence; precious will be their blood in His sight.

 

His anointing will come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, like showers that water the earth.  He will have dominion also from sea to sea and from the river to the ends of the earth.  In His days the righteous will flourish in the abundance of peace, until the moon is no more.

 

Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him, and His enemies will lick the dust.  The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring presents; the kings of Sh’va and S’va will offer gifts; and the gold of Sh’va will be given to Him.  Yes, all kings will fall down before Him; all nations will serve Him; men will be blessed in Him; and all nations will call Him blessed.  Because He lives, prayer also will be made for Him continually; and daily He will be praised.  His name will endure forever; His name will continue as long as the sun.

 

There will be an abundance of grain in the earth, on the top of the mountains; its fruit will wave like L’vanon; and those of the city will flourish like the grass of the earth.  The mountains will bring peace to the people and the little hills righteousness.

 

Throughout all generations they will fear You, Boreh Olam (Creator of the Universe), as long as the sun and moon endure.  Bless You, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel); You only do wondrous things!  Blessed is Your glorious name forever!  We pray, Avinu Ba’sha’ma’yim (our Father in Heaven), that the whole earth be filled with Your glory.  Amen and Amen.

 

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

Personal Prayer Psalm 64

 

Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

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

 

In my prayerful meditation, hear my voice, O YHVH - Moshi’ee (my Savior/Deliverer).  Preserve my life, Abba, from fear of the enemy.  Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, from the rebellion of the workers of iniquity.  They have sharpened their tongue like a sword; their words are bitter; and as a bent bow, they shoot their poisonous words like arrows at the blameless.  They shoot from secret places at me, and they do not fear.  They devise iniquities and whisper: "We have perfected a shrewd scheme.”  They even encourage themselves in an evil matter; they talk of laying snares secretly; they say, "Who will see them?"  Both the inward thought and the heart of a man are very deep.

 

But You, Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), will shoot at them with Your arrow; suddenly they will be wounded.  You will make them stumble over their own tongue; all who see them will flee away.  O Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel), all men will come to fear You and declare Your wondrous work; for they will wisely consider Your doing.  The righteous will be glad in You, El Olam (Eternal One), and put their trust in You.  All the upright in heart will give You glory, Melech HaKavod (King of Glory).

 

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

Corporate Prayer Psalm 94

  

Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu

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

 

O YHVH - El Shaddai (God Almighty), how long will the wicked triumph?  Will the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law, have fellowship with You?  They gather together against the life of the righteous and condemn innocent blood.  They utter speech and speak insolent things; all the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.  They break in pieces Your people, O Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel), and afflict Your heritage.  They slay the widow and the stranger and murder the fatherless.  Yet they say, "YHVH does not see, nor does Elohey Ya’acov (God of Jacob), understand."

 

O you senseless among the people and you fools, when will you be wise and understand?  He who planted the ear, will He not hear?  He who formed the eye, will He not see?  He who teaches man knowledge and instructs the nations, will He not correct?  YHVH knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.  But blessed is the man whom You instruct and teach out of Your Torah, that You may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.

 

Who will rise up for us against the evildoers? Who will stand up for us against the workers of iniquity?

 

O YHVH - Elohey Tzedek (God of Righteousness), to whom vengeance belongs-- shine forth!  Rise up, O Judge of the earth; render punishment to the proud; bring on them their own iniquity, and cut them off in their own wickedness; only You, Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), will cut them off.

 

For You, El Ne’eman (Faithful God), will not cast us off, Your people, nor will You forsake Your inheritance.  But judgment will return to righteousness, and all those who are upright in heart will follow it.

 

Because You, Abba, Ez’rey’nu (our Help), have been our help, our souls did not dwell in the abode of silence; and when our foot slipped You, Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy), held  us up, even in the multitude of our anxieties within us. Your comforts delight our souls.  You, YHVH - M’gee’ney’nu (our Protector/Shield), are our defense, Tzu’rey’nu (our Rock), Elo’hey’nu (our God) and Miphla’tey’nu (our Refuge).

 

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

Corporate Prayer Psalm 68

 

Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.

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

 

O YHVH - Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), arise and let Your enemies be scattered; let those also who hate You flee before You.  As smoke is driven away, so drive them away.  As wax melts before the fire; so let the wicked perish at Your presence, YHVH - Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe).  For You will wound the head of Your enemies, the hairy scalp of the one who still goes on in his trespasses.  Rebuke the beasts of the reeds, the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples, till everyone submits himself to You with pieces of silver.  Scatter the peoples who delight in war; crush them in their own blood under our feet, so that the tongues of our dogs may have their portion of our enemies.

 

Abba, Moshi’ey’nu (our Savior/Deliverer), You marched through the wilderness before our forefathers, providing for them out of Your goodness while they dwelt in it.  You made them lie down among the sheepfolds; and You covered them like the wings of a dove covered with silver, her feathers with yellow gold.   You shook the earth and the heavens dropped rain; Sinai itself was moved by Your presence.  Yes, You, El Ro’eh (God Who Sees and Provides), sent plentiful rain, whereby You confirmed Your inheritance to Yisrael, when it was still poor and weary.  You scattered kings, even while there was snow in Tzalmon.  Their armies fled before them; they fled, and she who remained at home divided the spoils.  For Your chariots, YHVH, are twenty thousand, even thousands of thousands, when You were among them in Your kadosh (holy/set-apart) place, in Sinai.

 

One of Your mountains, Boreh Olam (Creator of the Universe), is the mountain of Bashan; a mountain of many peaks is the mountain of Bashan.  But why does that mountain of many peaks fume with envy? Is it because Mount Tziyon is the mountain that You, Elohey Tziyon (God of Zion), desire to dwell in?  Yes, You will dwell in it forever.  You have ascended on high; You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts among men, even from the rebellious, that You, Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe), might dwell there.

 

Blessed be YHVH - Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), who daily loads us with benefits. Our Elohim is the Elohim of salvation, and to Him belongs the escape from death.  Therefore, Elohey Yeshua’tey’nu (God of our Salvation) has said, "I shall bring you back from Bashan; I shall bring you back from the depths of the sea.”  For from Your holy habitation You will bring us back. You will father the fatherless and defend the widows; You will set the solitary in families.  You bring out those who are bound in fetters, but the rebellious will dwell in a dry land.  Let all the righteous be glad and rejoice before You who dwell in Tziyon!

 

Because of Your temple in Yeru’shala’yim (Jerusalem), kings will bring presents to You.  Envoys will come out of Mitzra’yim (Egypt); Kush (Ethiopia) will quickly stretch out her hands to You, El Elyon (God Most High).  Many from the nations will see Your procession, Elohey Yisrael, the procession of Elo’he’nu (our God), Mal’key’nu (our King), in kodesh (holiness/set apartness).  The singers will go before the players on instruments, following after them, but yet among them will be the maidens playing timbrels.   There is little Binyamin, their leader; the princes of Yehuda and their company; the princes of Z’vulun and the princes of Naphtali.  Therefore sing to Elohim you kingdoms of the earth; O, sing praises to YHVH - Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob).

 

To You, Elohey Avotey’nu (God of our Fathers), who ride on the heaven of heavens that were of old; indeed, You send out Your voice, a mighty voice. Your excellence is over Yisrael, and Your strength is in the clouds.  Therefore we shall ascribe strength to You, O Misga’bey’nu (our Stronghold).  You are more awesome than Your kadosh (holy/set-apart) places.  For it is only You, Tzur Yisrael (Rock of Israel), that give strength and power to Your people.  Blessed be Your name, for great will be the company of those who proclaim Your word. 

 

We shall sing to You, YHVH - Ro’eh Yisrael (Shepherd of Israel); we shall sing praises to Your name; we shall extol You, who ride on the clouds; and in Your name, YAH, we shall rejoice before You. we will bless You in the great congregation of Yisrael, for You are the fountain of Yisrael.  You, Cha’yey’nu (our Life) and Chizkey’nu (our Strength), have commanded Your strength in that which You have done for us.  Therefore let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before You, YHVH.  Yes, let us rejoice exceedingly.

 

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

Corporate Prayer Psalm 118

 Baruch Ata, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu

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

 

We give thanks to You, YHVH - Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy), for You are good; and Your mercy endures forever.  May all Yisrael now say, "Your mercy endures forever."  May the house of Aaron now say,  “Your mercy endures forever.”  May all those who fear You, YHVH, now say,  “Your mercy endures forever." 

 

We called upon You in our distress, YHVH - Moshi’ey’nu (our Savior/Deliverer), and You answered us and set us in a broad place.  Because You, YHVH - Misga’bey’nu (our Stronghold), are on our side; we will not fear, for what can man do to us?  Therefore, we shall see our desire on those who hate us, for You, Ezrey’nu (our Helper), are among those who help us.

 

Even though all nations surround us, in Your name, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel), we will annihilate them. Yes, they surround us, but in Your name, YHVH - Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), we will devastate them.  Even though they surrounded us like bees and push us violently that we might fall, YHVH - M’gee’ney’nu (our Protector/Shield); You will help us; and they will be devoured like a fire on thorns; for in Your name, YHVH - Mephal’tey’nu (our Rescuer), we shall destroy them.  For it is better to trust in You, YHVH - El Gibor (Mighty God) than to put confidence in man or princes.  You, Tzur Yisrael (Rock of Israel), are the stone, which the builders rejected, but now You have become the chief cornerstone.  This was Your doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.

 

YHVH – Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), You are our strength and song; You have become our salvation.  For in the tents of the righteous, we will lift our voices and rejoice in our salvation; for Y’min’cha (Your Right Hand), YHVH, does valiantly.  Y’min’cha (Your Right Hand) is exalted and does gallantly.

 

YHVH, You have chastened us severely, but You have not given us over to death.  We shall not die, but live and declare Your work.  Therefore, open to us the gates of righteousness, so that we can go through them and praise You.  For this is Your gate, YHVH, through which the righteous shall enter.

 

This is the day that You, YHVH - Boreh Olam (Creator of the Universe), have made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.  We will praise You, for You have answered us and have become Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation). Save now, we pray, O YHVH - El Ro’ey’nu (our God Who Sees and Provides), send now prosperity.

 

We are truly blessed when we come in Your name, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel).  In your house, YHVH, we are blessed.  For in it, You give us light; bind us as a living sacrifice to the horns of Your altar, with cords of love.  You are our Elohim, and we will praise You and exalt You, Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe).  We will always give thanks to YHVH - Moshi’ey’nu (our Savior/Deliverer), for You are good; and Your mercy endures forever.

 

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

 

Corporate Prayer Psalm 17

 

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.nu

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

 

Hear a just cause, O YHVH - El Shofet (Judge), attend to our cry, give ear to our prayer, which is not from deceitful lips.  Let our vindication come from Your presence and let Your eyes look on the things that are upright.  For You have tested our hearts.  You have visited us in the night.  You have tried us and have found nothing, for we have purposed that our mouths shall not transgress.

 

By the word of Your lips, Abba, we have kept away from the paths of the destroyer and from the works of men.  We have called upon You, for You will hear us, O El Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), incline Your ear to us, and hear our speech, uphold our steps in Your paths that our feet may not slip.

 

Because we put our trust in You, Abba, show us Your marvelous lovingkindness. Through Y’min’cha (Your Right Hand), Abba, Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), You have saved us from those who rise up against us, from the wicked who oppress us, from our deadly enemies who surround us.  They have closed up their fat hearts and with their mouths they speak proudly. They have now surrounded us in our steps.  They have set their eyes upon us, crouching down to the earth, just as a lion is eager to tear his prey, and like a young lion lurking in secret places.

 

Arise, Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), confront him, cast him down and deliver our life from the wicked.  With Your sword in Your hand, O M’gee’ney’nu (our Protector/Shield), deliver us from men of the world who have their portion in this life, and whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure.  They are satisfied with children, and leave the rest of their possessions for their babes.

 

But as for us, Abba, keep us as the apple of Your eye, hide us under the shadow of Your wings, El Elyon (God Most High).  For we will see Your face in righteousness; and we shall be satisfied when we awake with Your likeness.

 

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