Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.
(Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of Israel, my Father)
"Hear,
O My people, and I shall admonish you;
O Yisrael, if you will listen to Me, for I am YHVH - Elohey’chem (your [plural]
God), Who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
"Blow
the Shofar at the time of the new moon and at the full moon, on your solemn
feast day. For this is a statute for
you, Yisrael and a law that I, Elohey Ya’acov (the God of Jacob), established
with your forefather, Yoseph, as a testimony, when he went throughout the land
of Egypt, in a land whose language you did not understand. I removed your shoulder from the burden; and
your hands were freed from the baskets.
You called when you were in trouble and I delivered you; I answered you
in the secret place of thunder. I tested
you at the waters of Merivah; but you,
My people, would not heed My voice and you, Yisrael, rejected Me as king over
you; so I gave you over to the stubbornness of your own heart, to walk in your
own counsels.
"But
if you, My people, in this generation, would listen to Me, and walk in My ways,
and have no foreign god among you; nor worship any foreign god, I would soon
subdue your enemies, and turn My hand against your adversaries, especially
those who hate Me and pretend submission to Me for their fate is sealed
forever. But I shall feed you, Yisrael,
with the finest of wheat, and with honey from the rock I shall satisfy you. Now open your mouth wide, and I shall fill
it.”
Raise a
song and strike the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the lute! Sing aloud to YHVH - Elohey Chizkeynu (God of our
Strength), make a joyful shout to Elohey Ya’acov (God of Jacob)!
Hallelu-Yah!!! For You YHVH are Elohim. You are Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham,
Yitzchak and Ya’acov. Avi the Almighty
reigns!
