PRAYER PSALM 105
Baruch
Ata,
YHVH
- Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu
(Bless
You, YHVH - Elohim of Israel, our Father).
Abba
Ba’sha’ma’yim (Father in Heaven), we give thanks to You, and we call upon Your
name, YHVH - Elohey Yeshua’tey’nu (God of our Salvation), singing psalms and
remembering Your marvelous works which You have done, Your wonders, and the
judgments of Your mouth, making known Your deeds among the peoples; talking of
all Your wondrous works and glorying in Your Kadosh (holy/set-apart), Name.
O
Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), because
we are the seed of Avraham Your servant, and the children of Ya’acov, the
chosen one, You are Elohey’nu (our God); Your judgments, Shofet Tzedek
(Righteous Judge), are in all the earth.
You, El Ne’eman (Faithful God), remember Your covenant forever, the word
which You commanded, for a thousand generations, the covenant which You made
with our father Avraham and Your oath to Yitzchak, and confirming it to Ya’acov
for a statute, to Yisrael as an everlasting covenant, saying, "To you I
will give the land of Canaan as the allotment of your inheritance.”
When
our forefathers were few in number, indeed very few and strangers in it, when
they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people, You,
Moshee’ah (Savior/Deliverer), permitted no one to do them harm; Yes, You
rebuked kings for their sakes, saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones, and
do My prophets no harm." Moreover
You called for a famine in the land; You destroyed all the provision of
bread. You sent a man before
them--Yoseph--who was sold as a slave.
His slave masters hurt his feet with fetters and laid him in irons,
until the time that Your word came to pass, and Your word tested him. Then, the king sent and released him; the
ruler of the people let him go free. He
made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions, to bind his
princes at his pleasure and teach his elders wisdom. Later, Yoseph’s father, Yisrael also came
into Egypt; Ya’acov dwelt in the land of Ham.
You
YHVH - Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel), increased Your people greatly and made
them stronger than their enemies. But then You turned the hearts of their
masters to hate them, to deal craftily with Your servants. However, You sent Moshe, Your servant, and
Aaron, whom You had chosen. They
performed Your signs among them and wonders in the land of Ham. You sent darkness and made it dark, but they
still rebel against Your word. You
turned their waters into blood and killed their fish. Their land abounded with frogs, even in the
chambers of their kings. You spoke,
Elohey Emet (God of Truth), and there came swarms of flies and lice into all
their territory. You gave them hail for
rain and flaming fire in their land. You
struck their vines also and their fig trees, and splintered the trees of their
territory. You spoke, and locusts came,
Young locusts without number, and ate up all the vegetation in their land and
devoured the fruit of their ground. You
also destroyed all the firstborn in their land, the first of all their strength. You then brought out our forefathers, with
silver and gold, and there was none feeble among Your tribes. Egypt was glad when they departed, for the
fear of them had fallen upon them.
You
spread over Your people a cloud for a covering and fire to give light in the
night. When they asked You, El Ro’eh
(God Who Sees and Provides), for meat, You brought quail and satisfied them
with the bread of heaven. You, Tzur
Yisrael (Rock of Israel), opened the rock, and water gushed out; it ran in the
dry places like a river. For You
remembered Your holy promise, to Avraham Your servant and brought out Your
people with joy, and Your chosen ones with gladness. You, Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe),
gave them the lands of the Gentiles, and they inherited the labor of the
nations, so that they might observe Your statutes and keep Your Torah.
We
will seek You, Elohey Avotey’nu (God of our Fathers). YHVH, You are Misga’bey’nu (our Stronghold),
and Oo’zey’nu (our Might); we will seek Your face always! Let our hearts rejoice as we seek You, YHVH -
Ro’yey’nu (my Shepherd), and Mal’key’nu (our King). Praise You!
Hallelu-Yah!!! For You, YHVH, are Elohim. You are Elohey Yisrael, Elohey Avraham,
Yitzchak and Ya’acov. Avi’nu the
Almighty reigns!
