Baruch Ata YHVH,
Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.
(Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of
Israel, our 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.
We
don’t understand, Abba, how You can say to our 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’key’nu, (our
Righteousness), are righteous, You love righteousness; Your countenance beholds
the upright. Therefore, in You, YHVH –Elohey Yisrael, we will put our trust.
Hallelu-Yah!!! For You YHVH are Elohim. You are Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham,
Yitzchak and Ya’acov. Avinu the Almighty
reigns!
