Corporate Prayer Psalm 5

 Baruch Ata,

YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi’nu.

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

 

Give ear to our words, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael; consider our meditation; give heed to the voice of our cry, You are Elohey’nu (our God), Mal’key’nu (our King), only to You we will pray.

 

Our voice You shall hear in the morning, YHVH - El Cha’yey’nu (our Life); in the morning we will direct it to You, and we 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 us, we will come into Your house, the house of Ya’acov.  In the multitude of Your mercy, and in awe of You, we will worship in Your holy temple.

 

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

 

Avi’nu, El Sim’cha’tey’nu (our Joy), we will rejoice when we put our trust in You; we will even shout for joy because You defend us.  Let all of us who love Your name be joyful in You.  For You, YHVH - Tzid’key’nu (our Righteousness), and M’gee’ney’nu (our 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’nu the Almighty reigns!
