Corporate Prayer Psalm 33

          Baruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu.

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

 

Your word, YHVH - Ribon Olam (Sovereign of the Universe), is absolutely right, and Your work is done in truth.  You love righteousness and justice, and the earth is full of Your goodness.  It was by Your word, and through the breath of Your mouth YHVH - Bor’ey’nu  (our Creator), that the heavens were made, and all the host of them.  You gathered the waters of the sea together as a hea,p and You laid up the deep in storehouses.

 

O Elohey Yisrael, may we and all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of You!  May the earth and all that is in it fear Your awesome presence!  For You spoke and it was done.  You, El Elyon (God Most High), commanded, and the whole universe stood fast.

 

YHVH - Elohey Tzyion, You look from heaven, from Your dwelling place, on all the inhabitants of the earth, and You see and consider all the sons of men and the works of their hands, all those whose hearts You have fashioned.  But Your eye, YHVH - El Shaddai (Almighty), is on those who fear You, those who hope in Your mercy, that You will deliver their soul from death and keep them alive in famine.

 

You, El Shofet (Judge), bring the counsel of the nations to nothing, and make the plans of the peoples of no effect.  No king is saved by the multitude of an army and a mighty man is not delivered by great strength.  Even a horse is a vain hope for safety; neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.  But Your counsel Yo’a’tzey’nu (our Counselor), will stand forever and the plans of Your heart throughout all generations.  Therefore, Your people Yisrael, which You have chosen as Your own inheritance, are blessed as a nation because You are their (our) Elohim.

 

My soul waits for You Go’aley’nu  (our Redeemer), and Ezrey’nu (our Help), for You are our help and our shield.  We put our trust in Your set-apart name, YHVH - Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak, and Ya’acov.  Our heart rejoices in You, for Your mercies, YHVH, are upon us and upon all Your people. We pray, Abba, that you keep us in faith, hope, and love.

 

We rejoice in You, El Tzid’key’nu (our Righteousness), so that the beauty of praise might flow from a heart that is right before You.  Thus, we can sing a new song with the harp of ten strings and make a melody to You, even with shouts of joy.

 

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