(Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of
Israel, our Father)
O YHVH - Elohey Yeshua’tey’nu (God of our Salvation), we have cried out day and night before You. For our soul is full of troubles, and our life
draws near to the grave. We are counted
with those who go down to the pit; we are like a man who has no strength, adrift
among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more,
and who are cut off from Your hand.
You have laid us in the lowest pit, in the depths of
the darkness. Your wrath lies heavy
upon us, and You, Shofet Tzedek (Righteous
Judge), have afflicted us with all Your
waves. You have put away our acquaintances
far from us; You have made us an abomination to them, even loved ones and
friends, You have placed far from us, and our acquaintances into darkness. We are shut up, and we cannot get out. Our eyes waste away because of affliction.
O YHVH – Elohey’nu (our God), we have called daily upon You; we have stretched out
our hands to You. Will You work wonders
for the dead? Will the dead arise and
praise You? Will Your loving kindness be
declared in the grave, or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction? Will
Your wonders be known in the dark, and Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Avi’nu, why do You cast off our soul? Why do You hide Your face from us? For we have been afflicted and ready to die;
from our youth, we have suffered Your terrors; we are distraught. Your fierce wrath has gone over us; Your
terrors have cut us off; they came around us all day long like water, they
engulfed us altogether.
Let our prayer come before You, Moshi’ey’nu (our
Savior/Deliverer), incline Your ear to
our cry, for in the morning our prayer comes before You, YHVH – Tikvatey’nu (our Hope).
Hallelu-Yah!!! For You,
YHVH, are Elohim. You are Elohey
Yisrael, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov.
Avi’nu the Almighty reigns!
