Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.
(Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of Israel, my Father)
Truly You, YHVH - Elohey Tziyon (God of Zion), are good to
Yisrael and to those who are pure in heart. But as for me, my
feet had almost stumbled, my steps had nearly slipped when I saw the
prosperity of the wicked; I was envious of the boastful. For there are
no pangs in their death, and their strength is firm. They are not in
trouble as other men, nor are they plagued like other men. Pride serves
as their necklace, and violence covers them like a garment. Their eyes
bulge with abundance; they have more than the heart could wish. They
would even drain the waters out of a full cup and keep on returning
to do the same. They scoff and speak wickedly concerning oppression;
they speak loftily as they set their mouth against the heavens, while
their tongue walks through the earth. They say, “How does Elohim
know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?” Behold, these are the
ungodly, who are always at ease and increase in riches. It is sad to think
that I was envious of these boastful ones.
Surely I have cleansed my heart in vain and washed my hands in
innocence. For all day long I have been plagued and chastened every
morning. If I had said, “I shall speak like them,” behold, I would
have been untrue to the generation of Your children, Abba. When I
thought how to understand this, it was too painful for me, until I went
into Your sanctuary, YHVH - Shofet Tzedek (Judge of Righteousness);
only then did I understand their end. For You set them in slippery
places; You cast them down to destruction. O, how they are brought
to desolation, as in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.
As a dream when one awakes, so You, El Tzadik (Righteous God), when
You awake, You will despise their image. For indeed, those who are far
from You will perish, for You have destroyed all those who desert You
for harlotry. Because of this, my heart was grieved; and I was vexed in
my mind. I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You,
El Elyon (God Most High). Nevertheless I am continually with You.
You hold me by my right hand; and You, Yo’a’tzee (my Counselor),
guide me with Your counsel and afterward receive me to glory.
El Elyon (God Most High). Nevertheless I am continually with You.
You hold me by my right hand; and You, Yo’a’tzee (my Counselor),
guide me with Your counsel and afterward receive me to glory.
Who have I in Heaven but You, El K’vodee (my Glory)? For there is
none upon earth that I desire besides You, Abba Ba’sha’ma’yim (Father
in Heaven). My flesh and my heart may fail, but You are Ma’oozee (my
Strong Tower) and the strength of my heart. You, El Olam (Eternal
God), are my portion forever. Therefore it is good for me to draw near
to You, Elohey Chesed (God of Mercy), and to put my trust in You,
Elohey Yeshua’tee (God of my Salvation), so that I may declare all Your
works.
Hallelu-Yah!!! For You, YHVH, are Elohim. You are Elohey Yisrael,
Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov. Avi the Almighty reigns!
