YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu.
(Bless You,
YHVH - Elohim of Israel, our Father)
O YHVH - Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov, how excellent
is Your name in all the earth, for You have set Your glory above the heavens.
When we consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the
moon and the stars, which You have ordained, we wonder how it is that You can
even be mindful of us or any man. How is
it that You even bother visiting us? Who
are we that You, El Boreh Olam (Creator of the Universe), are even mindful of
us? But even more amazing, You, Elohey
Tzva’ot Yisrael (God of the Armies of Israel), have ordained strength to
nursing infants and babes, for out of their mouth You have silenced the enemy
and the avenger.
Even though You have made us a little lower than the angels,
Your desire is to crown us with glory and honor through the redemptive work of
Your Son, M’shi’chey’nu (our Messiah), and as a result of our being in Him, You
have given us dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things
under our feet, all sheep and oxen--even the beasts of the field, the birds of
the air, and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas.
O Avi’nu (our Father), YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, how excellent
is Your name in all the earth!
Hallelu-Yah!!! For You YHVH are Elohim. You are Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham,
Yitzchak and Ya’acov. Avi’nu the
Almighty reigns!
