Corporate Prayer Psalm 59

 Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu.

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

 

Deliver us, YHVH - Moshi’ey’nu (our Savior/Deliverer), from our enemies.  O Elohey’nu (our God), awake to help us; defend us from those who rise up against us.  Deliver us from the workers of iniquity, and save us from bloodthirsty men.  For behold, they lie in wait for our life; the mighty gather against us, and it is neither because of our transgression, nor for our sin.  O YHVH - El Ro’eh (God Who Sees and Provides), for they run and prepare themselves through no fault of ours.   At evening they return, they growl like a dog, and go all around the city.  Indeed, they belch with their mouth; they wander up and down for food and are not satisfied.  Swords are in their lips; for they say, "Who hears?"   For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their pride, especially for the cursing and lying, which they speak.  O YHVH - El Ra’chum (Compassionate God), have mercy upon them before they are consumed in Your wrath and cease to be.  But let them know that You, Mal’key’nu (our King), rule in Ya’acov to the ends of the earth.

 

Awake, O Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel), to punish all the nations, and do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors.  You, Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov shall laugh at them.  You shall have all the nations in derision.  But as for us, we will wait for You, Ma’ozey’nu (our Strength) and Mis’ga’bey’nu (our Stronghold), for You are Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy), and shall come to meet us.  You, Shofet Tzedek (Judge of Righteousness) shall let us look upon our enemies.  However, do not slay them, lest we, Your people, forget; but scatter them by Your power and bring them down, O Adoni M’gee’ney’nu (our Protector/Shield).

 

Therefore, we will sing of Your power; yes, we will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning, for You have been and will be,

Misga’bey’nu (our Stronghold), and Miphla’tey’nu (our Refuge) in the day of our trouble. Yes, to You, Oo’zey’nu (our Might) we will sing praises; for You are Elohim Misga’bey’nu (our Stronghold), and Elohey Chas’dey’nu (God of our Mercy).

 

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

 

 

Corporate Prayer Psalm 2

 

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.

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

 Why, Abba, do the kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together against You, Elohey Yisrael, and against Your Messiah?  These kings and rulers are saying that they want to break away from the bonds and cast away the cords that You have placed upon them.

 But You, Avinu (our Father), who sit in the heavens, shall laugh; You are our Elohim and You shall hold them in derision.  If it is Your will Abba, speak to them in Your wrath, and distress them in Your deep displeasure.

 You, Elohey Yisrael, have set Your King on Your holy hill of Tziyon.  You have declared of Him, “You are My Son, today I have begotten You.  Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession.  You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel".  Therefore, be wise O kings, be instructed you judges of the earth, serve YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, with fear, and rejoice with trembling.  Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little.

 Blessed are all those who put their trust in You, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael.

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

Corporate Prayer Psalm 139

PRAYER PSALM 139

Baruch Ata, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu

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

O YHVH, You are Cha’yey’nu (our Life); You have searched us and known us.   You know our sitting down and our rising up; You understand our every thought from afar.  You comprehend our path and our lying down and are acquainted with all our ways.  For there is not a word on our tongues; but behold, El Ro’eh (God Who Sees and Provides), You know it altogether.  You have hedged us in, behind and before and laid Your hand upon us.  Such knowledge is too wonderful for us; it is too high, we cannot attain it.

 Where can we go from Your Spirit; or where can we flee from Your presence, Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe)?  If we ascend into heaven, You are there; if we make our bed in hell, behold, You are there.  If we take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead us; and Your right hand shall hold us.  If we say, "Surely the darkness shall fall on us," Even the night shall be light about us; indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, Orey’nu (our Light); but the night shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.

 For You, Bor’ey’nu  (our Creator), formed our inward parts; You covered us in our mothers’ womb.  We will praise You, Boreh Olam (Creator of the Universe), for we are fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works; and that our souls know very well.  Our frame was not hidden from You, El Olam (Eternal God), when we were made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.  Your eyes saw our substance, being yet unformed; and in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for us, when as yet there were none of them.

 How precious also are Your thoughts to us, Eley’nu (our God)!  How great is the sum of them!  If we should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when we awake, we are still with You.

 Oh, that You, Shofet Tzedek (Judge of Righteousness), would slay the wicked!  For they speak against You wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain.  Do we not hate them, YHVH, who hate You? And do we not loathe those who rise up against You? We hate them with perfect hatred; We count them our enemies.  Therefore depart from us, you bloodthirsty men! 

 Search us, YHVH - Tzid’key’nu (our Righteousness), and know our heart; Try us, and know our anxious thoughts; see if there is any wicked way in us; and lead us in the way everlasting.

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

                                                          PRAYER PSALM 9

                                       Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.

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

We will praise You, O YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, with our whole heart; we will tell of all Your marvelous works.  We will be glad and rejoice in You, El Sim’cha’tey’nu (our Joy); we will sing praise to Your name, O El Elyon (God Most High).

We will sing praises to You YHVH - Mal’key’nu (our King), You who dwell in Tziyon!  We will declare Your deeds among the people.  But when you avenge blood, remember us, for You Avinu (our Father), will not forget the cry of the humble.  Have mercy on us, O YHVH - Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation)!  Consider our trouble, from those who hate us, and lift us up Abba, from the gates of death, that we may tell of all Your praise in the gates of the daughter of Tziyon. From there we will rejoice in Your salvation.

O YHVH - El Olam (Eternal God), You shall endure forever; You have prepared Your throne for judgment.  You Shofet Tzedek (Righteous Judge) shall judge the world in righteousness, and You shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness. 

You YHVH - Mach’sey’nu (our Shelter), also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble.  The needy shall not always be forgotten; the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.  For those who know Your name will put their trust in You; for You, YHVH, are El Ne’eman (Faithful God); You have not forsaken those who seek You.

 

O YHVH – Shof’tey’nu (our Judge), You are known by the judgments that You execute; for the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.  The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made; their own foot is caught in the net, which they themselves have hid.  The wicked shall be turned toward hell, and all the nations that forget You, YHVH. 

When our enemies will turn back, they shall fall and perish at Your presence, for You will maintain our right and our cause.  You sit on the throne judging in righteousness.  You will rebuke the nations. You will destroy the wicked. You will blot out their name forever and ever.  O enemy of Yisrael, your destructive ways will be finished forever, you who have destroyed cities; even your memory will perish.

Arise, O YHVH - Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov, do not let man prevail, let the nations be judged in Your sight.  Put them in fear, O YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, so that the nations may know themselves to be but mere men.  

Hallelu-Yah!  Our soul will praise You, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael, while we have our being.  We will praise You in the great congregation of Your people Yisrael, and we will rejoice with all the children of Tziyon.

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

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

 

We praise You, YHVH - Elohey Yeshua’tee (God of our Salvation), we praise You, Elo’hey’nu (our God), in Your sanctuary; we Praise You in Your mighty firmament! We praise You, Boreh Olam (Creator of the Universe), for Your mighty acts; we praise You, El Shaddai (God Almighty), according to Your excellent greatness!

 

We praise You with the sound of the trumpet; also with the lute and harp we will praise You! With the timbrel and dance we will praise You, for You are Sim’cha’tey’nu (our Joy). With the stringed instruments and flutes we will praise You, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel).  We will even use the loud cymbals and the clashing cymbals to praise You.  O may everything that has breath praise You, Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe).  Praise You, YHVH – Avinu (our Father)!

Corporate Prayer Psalm 55

PRAYER PSALM 55

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu.

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

 

Give ear to our prayer, O YHVH - El Shaddai (Almighty), and do not hide Yourself from our supplication, because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; They bring down trouble upon us, and in wrath they hate us.  Destroy and divide their tongues, for we have seen violence and strife in their cities! Day and night they go around on the walls; while iniquity, oppression, deceit, trouble, and destruction are in their midst and do not depart from their streets.  Let death seize them; let them go down alive into hell, for wickedness is in their dwellings and among them.  Bring them down to the pit of destruction; for bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days.   Afflict them, for even those who have been from of old have not changed; they do not fear You, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel).

 

 Attend to us, Abba, and hear us.  As You can see, we are restless in our complaint, and moan noisily.  Our hearts are severely pained within us.  Fearfulness, trembling, and the terrors of death have fallen upon us.  Horror has overwhelmed us; nevertheless, we will trust You, El Ne’eman (Faithful God).

 

O YHVH – Miphla’tey'nu (our Refuge), if only we had wings like a dove! We would fly away and be at rest.  Indeed, we would wander far off and remain in the wilderness.  We would hasten our escape from this windy storm and tempest.

 

For it is not an enemy who reproaches us, for it were, then we could bear it.  Nor is it one who hates us, who has exalted himself against us; if that were the case, we could hide from him.  But it was a close friend, a man our equal, our companion, and our acquaintance.  We took sweet counsel together, and walked in Your house, Mal’key’nu (our King), in the midst of all those who gathered there.  The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.  He put forth his hands against those who were at peace with him, and has broken his covenant.

 

As for us, we will call upon You, Elohey Yeshua’tey’nu (God of our Salvation), for it is only You that shall save us.  We will cast our burden upon You, Tzu’rey’nu (our Rock), and You shall sustain us; You shall never permit the righteous to be moved.  Therefore, evening and morning, and at noon, we will pray and cry aloud to You, El Ro’ey’nu (God Who Sees and Provides for us); for You Go’aley’nu  (our Redeemer) hear our voice, and will redeem our soul in peace from the battle that is against us, for there are many against us.

 

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

Corporate Prayer Psalm 3

                                             Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu

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

 Avinu (our Father), Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak, and Ya’acov, how our adversaries have increased who trouble us!  Many are they who rise up against us.  Many are saying of our soul: “There is no salvation for them in Elohim.”

 

But You, Abba, YHVH - M’gee’ney’nu (our Protector/Shield), the Elohim of our father Ya’acov, are K’vo’dey’nu (our Glory), and the One who lifts up our heads.  We cried to You, Abba, with our voices, and You heard us from Tziyon, Your holy mountain.   

 

Arise, Abba, YHVH – Moshi’ey’nu (our Savior/Deliverer), save us, O Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies).  When we lie down to sleep and when we awake, You, YHVH – Elo’hey’nu (our God), will sustain us.  For You will strike all our enemies on the cheekbone.  You will break the teeth of the ungodly.  We will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against us all around.   Salvation belongs to You, YHVH-Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), for Your blessing is upon Your people Yisrael.

 

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

Corporate Prayer Psalm 61

 

Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.

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

 

Hear our cry, O Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel); attend to our prayer, Abba; or when our hearts are overwhelmed, El Tzu’rey’nu (our Rock), lead us to the Rock that is higher than we.  You are Misga’bey’nu (our Stronghold); for You have been a shelter for us, a strong tower from the enemy.  You have hidden us, O Sit’rey’nu (our Hiding Place), under the shadow of Your wings, so that we may dwell in Your tent.

 

From the ends of the earth, we shall cry out to You, El Ro’ey’nu (God Who Sees and Provides for us); for You will hear our vows.  You will give us the inheritance that You have chosen for us, because we fear Your name.  We thank You, YHVH, and praise You, Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe); because You have prolonged the life of our King and made His years many generations; for He abides before You, El Olam (Eternal God), forever. Your Mercy and Truth preserve Him.  Thus, shall we sing praise to Your name and pay our vows daily, giving glory to You, Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), forever.

 

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

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

 

YHVH - Tzu’rey’nu (our Rock), We bless You, Elohey Chas’dey’nu (God of our Mercy), M’tzuda’tey’nu (our Fortress), Misga’bey’nu (our Stronghold) and Miphla’tey’nu (our Refuge), M’gee’ney’nu (our Protector/Shield) and the One in whom we take refuge, You who subdue people under us, and who train our hands for war, and our fingers for battle.

 

Rescue us; and deliver us from the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speak lying words, and whose right hands are right hands of falsehood; but even though man is like a breath; and his days are like a passing shadow; yet You are mindful of him; and You take knowledge of him.

 

Bow down Your heavens, YHVH - Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe), and come down; touch the mountains; and they shall smoke.  Flash forth lightning and scatter them; shoot out Your arrows and destroy them.  Stretch out Your hand from above; and rescue us and deliver us out of great waters, from the hands of foreigners, whose mouths speaks vain words, and whose right hands are right hand of falsehood.  May our sons be as plants grown up in their youth; may our daughters be as pillars sculptured in palace style.  May our barns be full, supplying all kinds of produce; may our sheep bring forth thousands even tens of thousands in our fields; may our oxen be well-laden; may there be no breaking in nor going out; and may there be no outcry in our streets.  Happy are the people who are in such a state; happy are the people whose Elohim is YHVH!

 

We will sing a new song to You, Elohey Yeshua’tey’nu (God of our Salvation); on a harp of ten strings we will sing praises to You, to You who gives salvation to kings, and to You who delivered David Your servant from the deadly sword. 

 

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

Corporate Prayer Psalm 51

                           Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.

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

 

O YHVH - Bor’ey’nu (our Creator), You know that we were brought forth in iniquity, and in sin our mother conceived us.  Therefore, we acknowledge our transgressions, and our sin is always before us.   Against You, You only, have we sinned and done evil in Your sight.  Therefore, El Shofet (Judge), You are just when You speak and blameless when You judge.  For You desire truth in the inward parts and in the hidden part You, Elohey Emet (God of Truth), will make us to know wisdom.

 

O YHVH - Moshi’ey’nu (our Deliverer), have mercy upon us, according to Your loving kindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies blot out our transgressions.  Wash us thoroughly from our iniquity and cleanse us from our sin. Deliver us from the guilt of bloodshed, O YHVH - Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation).  Hide Your face from our sins and blot out all our iniquities.  Purge us with hyssop, and we shall be clean; wash us and we shall be whiter than snow.  Make us hear joy and gladness, that the bones You have broken may rejoice.

 

Then create in us a clean heart, O YHVH, and renew a steadfast spirit within us.  Do not cast us away from Your presence and do not take from us Ruach Kod’she’cha (Spirit of Your Holiness).  Restore to us the joy of Your salvation and uphold us by a generous spirit.

 

For You, El Go’aley’nu (our Redeemer) do not desire sacrifice or delight in burnt offerings, else we would give it. However, the sacrifices that You are interested in are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart; these, O YHVH, You will not despise.  And while our heart is in this condition, we shall teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners will be converted to You.

 

We pray, Abba, in Your good pleasure be merciful to Tziyon and build the walls of Yeru’shala’yim.  Then You will be pleased with the true sacrifices of righteousness, and those who are in Tziyon will burn offerings and whole burnt offerings on Your altar.

 

O YHVH - Elohey Tzid’kay’nu (God our Righteousness), open our lips, and our mouth will show forth Your praise, and our tongue will sing aloud of Your righteousness.

Corporate Prayer Psalm 73

Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avinu.

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

Truly You, YHVH - Elohey Tziyon (God of Zion), are good to Yisrael and to those who are pure in heart.  But as for us, our feet had almost stumbled, our steps had nearly slipped when we saw the prosperity of the wicked; we were envious of the boastful.  For there are no pangs in their death, and their strength is firm.  They are not in trouble as other men, nor are they plagued like other men.  Pride serves as their necklace, and violence covers them like a garment.  Their eyes bulge with abundance; they have more than the heart could wish. They would even drain the waters out of a full cup and keep on returning to do the same.  They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression; they speak loftily as they set their mouth against the heavens, while their tongue walks through the earth.  They say, "How does Elohim know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?"  Behold, these are the ungodly, who are always at ease and increase in riches.  It is sad to think that we were envious of these boastful ones.

 

Surely we have cleansed our heart in vain and washed our hands in innocence. For all day long we have been plagued and chastened every morning.  If we had said, "we shall speak like them,” behold, we would have been untrue to the generation of Your children, Abba.  When we thought how to understand this, it was too painful for us, until we went into Your sanctuary, YHVH - Shofet Tzedek (Judge of Righteousness); only then did we understand their end.  For You set them in slippery places; You cast them down to destruction.  O, how they are brought to desolation, as in a moment!  They are utterly consumed with terrors.  As a dream when one awakes, so You, El Tzadik (Righteous God), when You awake, You will despise their image.  For indeed, those who are far from You will perish, for You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry.  Because of this, our hearts were grieved; and we were vexed in our mind.  We were so foolish and ignorant; we were like a beast before You, El Elyon (God Most High).  Nevertheless we are continually with You.  You hold us by Your right hand; and You, Yo’a’tzey’nu (our Counselor), guide us with Your counsel and afterward receive us to glory.

 

Who have we in Heaven but You, El K’vo’dey’nu (our Glory)? For there is none upon earth that we desire besides You, Abba Ba’sha’ma’yim (Father in Heaven).  Our flesh and our heart may fail, but You are Ma’o’zey’nu (our Strong Tower) and the strength of our heart. You, El Olam (Eternal God), are our portion forever.  Therefore it is good for us to draw near to You, Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy), and to put our trust in You, Elohey Yeshua’tey’nu (God of our Salvation), so that we may declare all Your works.

Corporate Prayer Psalm 27

 

Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu.

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

 

YHVH – Orey’nu (our Light), and Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), whom shall we fear?  Because You, Abba, are El Chai’yey’nu (our Life), Ma’o’zey’nu (our Strength), whom shall we be afraid of?  Even when our wicked enemies and foes are like an army encamped against us, and they rise up to devour our flesh through war, our heart shall not fear, for our confidence is in You, Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the Armies), for they will stumble and fall.

 

In these times of trouble, You are, M’tzuda’tey’nu (our Fortress), and You will hide us in Your strong tower, in the secret place of Your tabernacle You will shelter us; You, will set us high upon a rock, so that our head will be lifted up above our enemies all around us.  We pray, Abba, do not deliver us to the will of those adversaries who breathe out violent and false accusations against us!

 

Hear, YHVH – Ribon Olam (Sovereign), when we cry with our voice! Have mercy upon us and answer us. Do not hide Your face from us.  Do not turn Your servant away in anger. You have been our help; therefore, do not leave us nor forsake us, O El Go’aley’nu (our Redeemer). Even though our fathers and our mothers may abandon us, You, Ro’eh Yisrael (Shepherd of Israel), will take care of us.

 

Therefore, we will offer sacrifices of joy in Your tabernacle, and we will sing, yes, we will sing praises to You, YHVH El Tzu’rey’nu (our Rock). For there is one thing that we have desired of You, El Ro’ey’nu (our God Who Sees and Provides), that will we seek.  We want to behold Your beauty and to inquire in Your temple so that we may dwell in Your house, the restored house of Ya’acov, all the days of our life.

 

You have asked us to seek Your face.  You know, Abba, that our heart yearns to look upon Your face, so teach us Your way, O YHVH, and lead us in a smooth path for Your name's sake and because of our enemies.  For we would have lost heart, unless we had believed that we would see Your goodness in the land of the living.  Therefore we will wait upon You, El Elyon (Most High), so that You will give us courage and strengthen our hearts.

Corporate Prayer Psalm 57

                            Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu.

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

 

Our soul trusts in You, El Ne’eman (Faithful God), and in the shadow of Your wings we will make our refuge until calamity passes by.  We will cry out to You, who performs all things for us.  Be merciful to us YHVH - Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy); be merciful to us, for You, Abba, Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), will send from heaven and save us.  You will send forth Your mercy and Your truth.

 

You have seen how our soul is among lions; how we lie among the sons of men who are set on fire, whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.  They have prepared a net for our steps; they have dug a pit before us.  We pray that they themselves will fall into the midst of it. O M’gee’ney’nu (our Protector/Shield), our soul is bowed down; therefore reproach the ones who would want to swallow us up!

 

Be exalted, YHVH - El Elyon (Most High), above the heavens.  Let Your glory be above all the earth.  Awake, our glory!  Awake, lute and harp!  We will awaken the dawn.  We will praise You, Moshi’ey’nu (our Savior/Deliverer), among the peoples.  We will sing to You among the nations.  For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, and Your truth unto the clouds.  May our heart be steadfast, O YHVH - Sit’rey’nu (our Hiding Place), may our heart be steadfast.  We will sing and give praise, exalting You above the heavens YHVH - El HaKavod (God of Glory), that Your glory will be above all the earth. Amen!

 

Corporate Prayer Psalm 42

                                           Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu.

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

 

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so yearns our soul for You, Elo’hey’nu (our God) Cha’ta’ney’nu (our Bridegroom).  Our soul thirsts for You, El Cha’ye’nu (our Life), for deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls.  You, YHVH are the only one true living Elohim.

 

O Abba Ba’sha’ma’yim (Father in Heaven), we used to go with the multitude.  We went with them to a building to worship You; We went with the congregation that kept Your feast days.  We even went with a voice of joy and praise.  But now because of the way our enemies reproach us, it is as if they are breaking our bones by continually calling out, and mockingly saying: “Where is your Elohim?  Where is Elohey Yisrael?”

 

Why does our soul feel so cast down?  Why are we so despondent?   Why do we go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?  When we remember these things, we pour out our soul within us.   Our tears become our food day and night.  We will say to You, Sal’ey’nu (our Boulder/Rock), “Why have You forgotten us?”  All Your waves and billows have gone over us.  When will we again appear before You?

 

Elohey Shlo’mey’nu (our Peace), You will command Your lovingkindness, Your mercies in the daytime, and in the night Your faithfulness will be turned into a song within us.  Therefore we will remember You from the land of Yarden, from the Hill of Mitz’ar and from the Heights of Chermon.  For You, Yeshua’tey’nu (our Salvation), are the only help and hope for our soul.  Even though at times we are cast down, we will praise You and give You glory.

We will bless You, Abba, at all times, and Your praise shall continually be in our mouths.  Our soul shall make its boast in You Yeshua'tey'nu (our Salvation), and all those who are humble shall hear of it and be glad.  For when we humbly cry out and seek You El Go’aley'nu (our Redeemer), You hear us and will deliver us from all our fears and save us out of all our troubles.

We have tasted and have seen that You, YHVH, are good and that You have blessed us as we put our trust in You.  You even place Your angels around us to deliver us when we stand in awe of You.  When we look upon You, El Cha'ye'nu (our Life), we will not be ashamed, but our faces will be radiant with joy.
