Shabbat Psalm 92

PRAYER PSALM 92

Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.

(Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of Yisrael, my Father)

It is good to give thanks to You, YHVH - Avinu Ba’sha’ma’yim (our Father in Heaven), and to sing praises to Your name, El Elyon (God Most High).  For You, El Shaddai (God Almighty), are on high forevermore.  You are Sim’cha’teynu (our Joy).  You have made us glad through Your work.  How great are Your works!  We shall triumph in the works of Your hands.  O Elohey Emet (God of Truth), Your thoughts are very deep.

A senseless man does not know, nor does a fool understand this, that when the wicked spring up like grass and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is so that they may be destroyed forever.  But our horn You have exalted like that of a wild ox; You have anointed us with fresh oil.  Our eyes also have seen our enemies; our ears have heard the wicked who rise up against us.  For behold, Your enemies, O Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies); for behold, Your enemies will perish; all the workers of iniquity will be scattered.

But because we are planted in Your house, YHVH - Ro’eh Yisrael (Shepherd of Israel), we shall thrive in Your courts Mal’key’nu (our King).  We shall still bear fruit in old age; we shall be fresh and flourishing; for only in You, Tzid’key’nu (our Righteousness), will we flourish like a palm tree and grow like a cedar in Levanon.  We shall declare that You, Tzur Ma’oz (Rock of Strength), are upright; and that You are Tzu’rey’nu (our Rock), for there is no unrighteousness in You, Elohey Tzedek (God of Righteousness).  Therefore, we shall declare on an instrument of ten strings, on the lute, and on the harp, with harmonious sound, Your loving kindness in the morning and Your faithfulness every night.

Hallelu-Yah!!!  For You YHVH are Elohim.  You are Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov.  Avi’nu the Almighty reigns!

PRAYER PSALM 7 ז

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.

(Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of Israel, our Father)

O YHVH - Eloheynu  (our God), in You, Abba, we put our trust; save us El Yeshua’teynu (our Salvation), from all those who persecute us; and deliver us, lest they, like a lion tear us in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

Behold, El Ezreynu (our help), the wicked bring forth iniquity; yes, they conceive trouble and bring forth falsehood.  They made a pit and dug it out, but let them fall into the ditch, which they have made.  Let their trouble return upon their own head, and their violent dealing come down on their own crown.

Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish the just; as for the righteous, El Shofet (Judge) will test their hearts and minds.  However, our defense is Elohey Yeshua’teynu (God of our Salvation), who saves the upright in heart. Elohim is a just Shofet (Judge), and is angry at the wicked every day.

If the rebellious do not repent and turn back, You, YHVH - Elohey Tzva’ot Yisrael (God of the Armies of Israel), will sharpen Your sword; You will bend Your bow and make it ready.  You also prepare for Yourself instruments of death, by making Your arrows into fiery shafts.  ”For You have bent Yehudah, Your bow, fitted the bow with Ephraim…and made them into the sword of a mighty man" (Zech 9:13).

Arise, O YHVH, return on high, and in Your anger; lift Yourself up because of the rage of our enemies; rise up for us , Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov, to the judgment You have commanded; so that the congregation of your people Yisrael may surround You.

O YHVH - Eloheynu (our God), if we have repaid evil to him who was at peace with us, or have plundered our neighbor without cause, if there is iniquity in our  hands and if we have done this; let the enemy pursue us and overtake us; yes, let him trample our life to the earth, and lay our honor in the dust. 

YHVH - El Shofet Yisrael (Judge of Israel), You shall judge the peoples.  Also judge us, O YHVH – Elohey Chesed (God of Lovingkindness), according to our righteousness, and according to our integrity within us. Therefore, we will praise You, YHVH - Elohey Tzid’keynu (our Righteousness), according to Your righteousness, and we will sing praise to Your name, YHVH - El Elyon (God Most High).

Hallelu-Yah!!!  For You YHVH are Elohim.  You are Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov.  Avinu the Almighty reigns!

PRAYER PSALM 131

Baruch Ata,

YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, Avi

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

I pray, Abba Ba’sha’ma’yim (Father in Heaven), that my heart is not haughty, nor my eyes lofty.  Help me not to concern myself with great matters, nor with things too profound for me.  My desire is to abide in You, M'na’cha’mee (my Comforter), so that my soul will stay calm and quiet, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child so should be my soul within me.

I pray that all Yisrael will put its faith and hope in You, YHVH - Elohey Yeshua’tee (God of my Salvation), from this time forth and forever.  

Hallelu-Yah!!!  For You, YHVH, are Elohim.  You are Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov.  Avi the Almighty reigns!
