PRAYER
PSALM 33
Baruch
Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.
(Bless
You, YHVH - Elohim of Israel, my Father)
Your
word, YHVH - Ribon Olam (Sovereign
of the Universe), is absolutely right and Your work is done in truth. You love righteousness and justice and the
earth is full of Your goodness. It was
by Your word, and through the breath of Your mouth YHVH - Bor’ee (my Creator), that the heavens were made, and
all the host of them. You gathered the
waters of the sea together as a heap and You laid up the deep in storehouses.
O Elohey
Yisrael, may I and all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of You! May the earth and all that is in it fear Your
awesome presence! For You spoke and it
was done. You El Elyon (God Most High), commanded
and the whole universe stood fast.
YHVH - Elohey Tzyion, You look from
heaven, from Your dwelling place, on all the inhabitants of the earth, and You
see and consider all the sons of men and the works of their hands, all those
whose hearts You have fashioned. But
Your eye, YHVH - El Shaddai (Almighty),
is on those who fear You, those who hope in Your mercy, that You will deliver
their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.
You, El Shofet (Judge), bring the
counsel of the nations to nothing, and make the plans of the peoples of no
effect. No king is saved by the
multitude of an army and a mighty man is not delivered by great strength. Even a horse is a vain hope for safety; neither
shall it deliver any by its great strength.
But Your counsel Yo’a’tzee
(my Counselor), will stand forever and the plans of Your heart throughout all
generations. Therefore Your people Yisrael,
which You have chosen as Your own inheritance, are blessed as a nation because
You are their (our) Elohim.
My soul
waits for You Go’alee (my Redeemer), and Ezree (my Help), for You are my
help and my shield. I put my trust in Your
set-apart name, YHVH - Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov. My heart rejoices in You, for Your mercies, YHVH,
are upon me and upon all your people. I pray Abba that you keep us in faith,
hope and love.
I rejoice
in You, El Tzid’kee (my
Righteousness), so that the beauty of praise might flow from a heart that is
right before You. Thus I can sing a new
song with the harp of ten strings and make a melody to You even with shouts of
joy.
Hallelu-Yah!!! For You YHVH are Elohim. You are Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham,
Yitzchak and Ya’acov. Avi the Almighty
reigns!
