PRAYER PSALM 63

Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

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

Help me, Abba, to remember You; as I lay on my bed; so that during the night watches I shall meditate on You, Elohey Yeshua’tee (God of my Salvation); for You are Elee (My God).  I shall arise early in the morning to seek You; for my soul thirsts for You, Ro’eh Yisrael (Shepherd of Israel); my flesh longs for You in this dry and thirsty world, where there is no living water.  But You will satisfy my soul, as with marrow and fatness; therefore, with joyful lips my mouth will praise You, El Shaddai (Almighty).

There are those, YHVH - M’gee’nee (my Protector/Shield), who seek my life to destroy it; but You said that they will go into the lower parts of the earth; that they will fall by the sword; and that their portion is for the jackals; and that all those whose mouths speak lies will be stopped.  But my soul will follow close behind You, Ro’yee (my Shepherd); for Y’min’cha (Your Right Hand) upholds me.  Therefore I shall rejoice in You, YHVH - Moshi’ee (my Savior/Deliverer); and everyone who swears by You will glory. 

I shall look for You in the sanctuary, Melech HaKavod (King of Glory), to behold Your power and Your glory.  For You have been Mach’see (my Shelter); therefore, in the shadow of Your wings I shall rejoice; for Your loving kindness is better than life; my lips will praise You; thus shall I bless You.  While I live, Abba, I shall lift up my hands in Your name.

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

PRAYER PSALM 5

Baruch Ata,

 YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.

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

Give ear to my words, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael; consider my meditation; give heed to the voice of my cry, You are Elohi (my God), Mal’kee (my King), only to You I will pray.

My voice You shall hear in the morning, YHVH - El Cha’ya’i (my Life); in the morning I will direct it to You, and I will look up.  For You are not an Elohim who takes pleasure in wickedness, nor shall evil dwell with You.  The boastful shall not stand in Your sight; You hate all workers of iniquity.

You shall destroy those who speak falsehood, YHVH - Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov.  You abhor the bloodthirsty and deceitful man, for there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is destruction; their throat is an open tomb; they flatter with their tongue.  Pronounce them guilty, O El Shofet (Judge)!  Let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions, for they have rebelled against You.

But as for me, I will come into Your house, the house of Ya’acov.  In the multitude of Your mercy, and in awe of You, I will worship in Your holy temple.

Lead me, YHVH - Ro’eh Yisrael (Shepherd of Israel), in Your righteousness and because of my enemies, make Your way straight before my face.

Avi, El Sim’cha’tee (my Joy), I will rejoice when I put my trust in You; I will even shout for joy because You defend me.  Let all of us who love Your name be joyful in You.  For You, YHVH - Tzid’kee (my Righteousness), and M’gee’nee (my Protector/Shield), will bless the righteous with favor and You will surround us as a shield.

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