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!
