Prayer Psalm 116

Baruch Ata,

 YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, Avi

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

The pains of death surrounded me, and the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me, all that I found was trouble and sorrow.  This I believed, therefore I spoke, "I am greatly afflicted."  I said in my haste, "All men are liars."  But then I called upon Your name YHVH - Mephal’tee (my Rescuer), with this simple request: "O YHVH, I implore You to deliver my soul!"  You, El Ra’chum (Compassionate God), are gracious and righteous; yes, You, Elohi (my God), are merciful, for I was brought low; and You, Yeshua’tee (my Salvation), saved me and now continue to preserve me.

O my soul, return to your rest, for You, YHVH - Ro’ee (God Who Sees and Provides for me), have dealt bountifully with me.  You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears and my feet from falling.  For precious in Your sight is the death of Your holy ones.

 

What shall I render to You, El Shaddai (God Almighty), for all Your benefits toward me?  I will take up the cup of salvation and call upon Your name, YHVH - Moshi’ee (my Savior/Deliverer).  I will pay my vows to You, Mal’kee (my King), now in the presence of all Your people, Yisrael; I will walk before You in the land of the living.

O YHVH - Elohey Avoti (God of my Fathers), Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have loosed my bonds.  I shall offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving and shall call upon Your name, YHVH.  I love You, Avi (my Father), because You have heard my voice and my supplications.  You have inclined Your ear to me; therefore I shall call upon You, Cha’ya’i (my Life), as long as I live.  I shall pay my vows to You, now in the presence of all Your people, in the courts of Your house, in the midst of you, O Yeru’shala’yim.  Praise YHVH - Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel)!

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

PRAYER PSALM 81

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!
