<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">PRAYER PSALM 78<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 27.0pt; margin-right: 19.3pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Baruch Ata, YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.<br />O Abba Ba’sha’ma’yim (Father in Heaven), may
I not be like my fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation
that did not set its heart aright; and whose spirit was not faithful to You,
Elohey Tzva’ot (God of the
Armies). It is especially true of
the children of Ephraim, who though armed and carrying bows, turned back in the
day of battle. They did not keep Your
covenant; they refused to walk in Your Torah; and forgot Your works and Your
wonders that You had shown them.<br /><o:p> </o:p><br />Therfore I have no excuse, for these examples have
all been recorded in Your written Torah; the marvelous things which You, Elohey Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya’acov (God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob),
did in the sight of Avotey’nu (our
Fathers), in the land of Mitzrayim (Egypt), in
the field of Tzo’an. You, M’gee’nee (my Protector/Shield),
divided the sea and caused us to pass through it. You made the waters stand up like a heap. In the daytime, You led us with the cloud and
all the night with a light of fire. You
split the rocks in the wilderness and gave us drink in abundance like the
depths. You also brought streams out of
the rock and caused waters to run down like rivers. But we sinned even more against You, El Elyon (God Most High), by rebelling against You in the wilderness.<br />O<i>, YHVH - Moshi’ee </i>(my
Savior/Deliverer)<i>,
how often we provoked You in the wilderness and grieved You in the desert! Yes, again and again we tempted You and
limited what You, the Kadosh </i>(Holy/Set-apart)<i> One of Yisrael,
wanted to do for us. We did not remember
Your power from the day when You redeemed us from the enemy, when You worked Your
signs in Egypt and Your wonders in the field of Tzo’an. You turned our slave masters’ rivers and
streams into blood so that they could not drink. You, Elohey Yisrael </i>(God of Israel)<i>, made a path
for Your anger and sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them, and
frogs, which destroyed them. You also gave their crops to the caterpillar and
their labor to the locust. You destroyed
their vines with hail and their sycamore trees with frost. You also gave up their cattle to the hail and
their flocks to fiery lightning. You
cast on them the fierceness of Your anger, wrath, indignation and trouble, by
sending angels of destruction among them.
You did not spare their souls from death but gave their life over to the
plague and destroyed all the firstborn in Egypt, the first of their strength in
the tents of Ham.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">W<i>e tested You, Ro’eh Yisrael</i> (Shepherd of

murmuring and speaking against You, saying, "Can YHVH prepare a table in

bread also? Can He provide meat for us, His people?"<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">T<i>herefore, when You, El Shaddai </i>(Almighty)<i>, heard
this You became annoyed and kindled a fire against Your people, Ya’acov. Your judgments also came up against Yisrael,
because we did not believe in You, Yeshua’teynu</i> (our Salvation)<i>, nor did we put our trust in Your salvation. Yet You, El Ra’chum </i>(Compassionate God)<i>, commanded the clouds above; and You opened the doors of heaven and
rained down manna on us. You gave us to
eat of the bread of heaven. We, mere men,
ate angels’ food that You sent in abundance to satisfy us. If that were not enough, You caused an east
wind to blow in the heavens, and by Your power You brought in the south wind. As a result it rained meat on us like the
dust; feathered fowl like the sand of the seas fell in the midst of our camp, all
around our dwellings. Our forefathers
ate and were well filled, for You, El Ro’eh</i> (God Who Sees and Provides<i>)</i><i>, gave us of our own desire. We were not deprived of our craving, but
while our food was still in our mouths Your wrath, Shofet Tzedek </i>(Judge of Righteousness)<i>, came against us; and You slew the stoutest among us and
struck down the choicest men of Yisrael.
In spite of this, we still sinned and did not believe in Your wondrous
works.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">T<i>herefore our days You consumed in futility and our
years in fear. After You slew some of us,
then we returned and sought You earnestly.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">N<i>evertheless, we tried to flatter You, Abba, with our mouths;

covenant. But to our amazement, You, El
Ra’chum </i>(Compassionate God)<i>, were full of compassion and forgave our iniquity. Yes, many a time You turned Your anger away and

not fear. But as far as our enemies were
concerned, the sea overwhelmed them.
Ultimately You brought us to Your kadosh </i>(holy/set-apart)<i>

us an inheritance by a line and made all of the tribes of Yisrael dwell in

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Y<i>et we tested and provoked You, El Elyon</i> (God Most High),<i> and did not keep Your testimonies but turned back and
acted unfaithfully just like our fathers.
We, just like them, turned aside like a deceitful bow and provoked You,
Elohey Tziyon </i>(God of Zion),<i> to anger with our high places and moved You to
jealousy with our carved images. When You
heard this, Elohey Tzedek</i><i> </i>(God of Righteousness)<i>, </i><i>You were furious and greatly abhorred Yisrael; so much
so, that You forsook the tabernacle of Shee’lo </i>(Shiloh)<i>, the
tent You had placed among men and delivered Your strength into captivity and Your
glory into the enemy's hand. You also
gave us, Your people, over to the sword and were furious with Your inheritance. The fire consumed our young men, and our
maidens were not given in marriage. Our
priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">T<i>hen suddenly, You, Elohey Tzva’ot</i> (God of the
Armies)<i>, awoke as from sleep, like a
mighty man who shouts because of wine.
You beat back Your enemies and put them to a perpetual reproach. Moreover, You rejected the tent of Yoseph and
did not choose the tribe of Ephraim, but chose the tribe of Yehuda, Mount Tziyon
which You loved. You built his sanctuary
like the heights, like the earth, which You, Boreh Olam </i>(Creator of the Universe)<i>, have established forever. You also chose David, Your servant and took
him from the sheepfolds, from following the ewes that had young; and You
brought him to shepherd Ya’acov Your people, and Yisrael Your inheritance. So he shepherded them according to the
integrity of his heart and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.<o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">O<i> Elohey Yisrael </i>(God of Israel)<i>, You have established
this testimony in Ya’acov and appointed Your Torah in Yisrael, which You
commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children; that
the generation to come might know them, the children who would be born; that
they may arise and declare them to their children; that they may set their hope
in You, El Tikvatey’nu </i>(our Hope)<i>,

Elohey Yisrael (God of Israel): “Give ear, O My people to My Torah and
incline your ears to the words of My mouth.
I shall open My mouth in a parable; I shall utter dark sayings of old, which
you have heard and known and your fathers have told you. Do not hide them from your children, but tell
to the generation to come the praises of your Elohim, and talk of My strength
and the wonderful works that I have done.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

His inspired hymns of praise, petition and worship represent the thoughts, yearnings and faith of the entire nation.<br /><br />The Psalms reflect a full range of discernment and revelation of Elohim’s character and identity, and His responses to a wide range of human emotions and conditions, in this life and beyond.<br /><br />The Hebrew language, through which Elohim chose to express this divine relationship between His people and Himself, is rich in depth and meaning. The Hebrew script states aspects of His identity more explicitly than anything we have been able to glean from available English translations, beautiful as they may be. Consequently, we have endeavored to provide a rendering of the Psalms, which emphasizes their personal prayerful aspects, as examples of how to relate to Him with language that correctly depicts His nature and our relationship to Him. This was done, chiefly by inserting various Hebrew titles and names of G-d employed elsewhere in the Hebrew Scriptures.<br /><br />We pray that these revised Psalms will reinforce the identity of our Elohim and grant understanding, encouragement and comfort to the life of the one who puts his faith, hope and trust in Him. Some of you may wonder why the name “Jesus” is not mentioned in the text. It is because we have chosen to use the Messiah’s Hebrew name, which is Yeshua, Y’shua or Yahoshua and means “salvation”.<br /><br />This name shows up many times in these Prayer Psalms, as Elohey Yeshua’tee (G-d of my Salvation), and was recognized by the apostle Paul as the name that is above all other names of YHVH: “Wherefore YHVH also hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Messiah Yeshua is Lord, to the glory of G-d the Father” (Phil. 2:9-11).<br /><br />This is made possible because “YHVH was in Messiah reconciling the world to Himself” (2 Cor. 5:19); “For it pleased the Father that in Him [Messiah] all the fullness should dwell” (Col. 1:19). And, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the divine nature bodily” (Col. 2:9). So no matter what name is employed, it will always point to our Heavenly Father and to His Messiah.<br /><br />These Prayer Psalms do not endeavor to be yet another translation of scripture, but rather have been altered and rearranged to emphasize, as stated above, the importance of the identity of our God and our personal relationship to Him. For the English term LORD (Jehovah) we chose to retain the transliteration of the Hebrew consonants YHVH (Yod, Hey, Vav, Hey). Frankly, the pronunciation of the "ineffable name" or sacred name, the Tetragrammaton, is still a subject of much discussion. We choose to pronounce it Yah-Hoveh, but among the many suggestions, the most common are Yehweh or Yehovah.<br /><br />EphraimEphraim and Rimonahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02118882157673023701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22841953.post-24600036462307943952007-03-13T09:06:00.001+02:002008-11-25T10:46:09.299+02:00Prayer Psalm 1<span style="font-family:arial;"><em><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">PRAYER PSALM 1<br /></span><br /></strong></em><span style="font-size:130%;"><em><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">B</span>aruch Ata YHVH, Elohey Yisrael, Avi.<br /></strong></em></span><span style="font-size:85%;">(Bless You, YHVH - Elohim of Israel, my Father)<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><em><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">I </span>am blessed by You, Abba, when I do not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful, but my delight is in Your Torah, YHVH - Elohey Yisrael</strong></em> <em><span style="font-size:85%;">(God of Israel),</span></em> <em><strong>and in Your Torah I will meditate day and night.
