Baruch ata YHWH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.
(Bless you YHWH Elohim of Israel, my Father)
YHWH Ori (my light) and Yeshu'ati (my Savior) You are my
light and my
salvation, whom shall I fear? Because Abba, Elohey
Cha'ya'i (my life)
You are the strength of my life, whom shall I be afraid
of? Even when
my wicked enemies and foes are like an army encamped
against me, and
they rise up to devour my flesh through war, my heart
shall not fear,
for my confidence is in You Elohey Tzvaot (God of the
armies), for they
will stumble and fall.
In these times of trouble You are m'tzudati (my fortress)
and You will
hide me in Your strong tower, in the secret place of Your
tabernacle You
will shelter me; You, Tzuri (my rock) will set me high
upon a rock, so
that my head will be lifted up above my enemies all
around me. I pray
Abba, do not deliver me to the will of those adversaries
who breathe out
violent and false accusations against me!
Hear, YHWH Ribon Olam (sovereign) when I cry with my
voice! Have mercy
upon me, and answer me. Do not hide Your face from me. Do
not turn Your
servant away in anger. You have been my help, therefore
do not leave me
nor forsake me, O El Go'ali (my Redeemer). Even
though my father and my
mother may abandon me, You Ro'eh Israel (Shepherd of
Israel) will take care of me.
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in Your
tabernacle, and I will
sing, yes, I will sing praises to You YHWH El Zuri (my
rock).
For there is one thing that I have desired of You El
Shadai (Almighty)
that will I seek, I want to behold Your beauty and to
inquire in Your
temple so that I may dwell in Your house, the restored
house of Ya'acov,
all the days of my life.
You have asked me to seek Your face. You know Abba that
my heart yearns
to look upon Your face, so teach me Your way, O YHWH and
lead me in a
smooth path for Your name sake and because of my enemies.
For I would
have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see
Your goodness in
the land of the living. Therefore I will wait upon You El
Elyon (Most
High), so that You will give me courage and strengthen my
heart.
Hallelu-Yah!!! For You YHWH are Elohim, You are Elohey
Yisrael, Elohey
Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya'acov, Avi (my father) the
Almighty, reigns!
