Prayer Psalm קיח 118

PRAYER PSALM 118

Baruch Ata,

YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, Avi

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

I 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." 

I called upon You in my distress, YHVH - Moshi’ee (my Savior/Deliverer), and You answered me and set me in a broad place.  Because You, YHVH - Misga’bee (my Stronghold), are on my side; I will not fear, for what can man do to me?  Therefore I shall see my desire on those who hate me, for You, Ezree (my Help), are among those who help me.

Even though all nations surround me, in Your name, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel), I will annihilate them. Yes, they surround me, but in Your name, YHVH - Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), I will devastate them.  Even though they surrounded me like bees and push me violently that I might fall, YHVH - M’gee’nee (my Protector/Shield); You will help me; and they will be devoured like a fire on thorns; for in Your name, YHVH - Mephal’tee (my Rescuer), I 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 my eyes.

YHVH – Yeshua’tee (my Salvation), You are my strength and song; You have become my salvation.  For in the tents of the righteous, I will lift my voice and rejoice in my 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 me severely, but You have not given me over to death.  I shall not die, but live and declare Your work.  Therefore, open to me the gates of righteousness, so that I 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; I will rejoice and be glad in it.  I will praise You, for You have answered me and have become Yeshua’tee (my Salvation). Save now, I pray, O YHVH - El Ro’ee (My God Who Sees and Provides), send now prosperity.

I am truly blessed when I come in Your name, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel).  In your house YHVH, I am blessed.  For in it, You give me light; bind me as a living sacrifice to the horns of Your altar, with cords of love.  You are my Elohim, and I will praise You and exalt You, Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe).  I will always give thanks to YHVH - Moshi’ee (my 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 the Almighty reigns!
