Prayer to Yahweh
My Elohim, open my lips and I will give your praise.
1
Blessed are you , Yahweh our Elohim and the Elohim of our forefathers, Elohim of Abraham,
Elohim of Isaac, and Elohim of Jacob. The Elohim, The Great, the Powerful, the Awesome, Most High
Elohim who does good deeds of loving-kindness and is the Creator of everything and remembers the deeds
of loving-kindness of our forefathers, and who brings a redeemer to their children’s children, for the sake of
His name, with love. King, Helper, Savior and Shield. Blessed are You, Yahweh, Shield of Abraham.
2
You are great forever my Elohim , You revive the dead, with great salvation. You cause the wind
to blow and the rain to fall. You nourish the living with loving-kindness, you revive the dead with great
compassion, support the falling and heal the sick, and release the imprisoned, and fulfill Your faithfulness
to those who sleep in the dust. Who is like You, Master of Strength, who can be compared to You? You are
a King who causes death, [for the purpose of] bringing the person back to life. Blessed are You, Yahweh,
who resurrects the dead.
3
You are Holy , and Your Name is Holy, and the holy ones praise you everyday, forever. Blessed are
You, Yahweh, the Holy Elohim.

You graciously give man discerning knowledge, and teach people understanding. Graciously grant
us from Yourself discerning knowledge, understanding and intellect. Blessed are You, Yahweh, who
graciously grants discerning knowledge.
5
Return us, our Father, to Your Torah , and bring us close, Our King, to Your service, and return
us with complete repentance before You. Blessed are You, Yahweh, who desires repentance.
6
Forgive us, Our Father , for we have sinned unintentionally. Pardon us, Our King, for we have
purposely sinned, for You pardon and forgive. Blessed are You, Yahweh, the gracious one who forgives
abundantly.
7
Please look at our affliction , and fight our battles, and redeem us quickly for Your Name's sake
because You are a mighty Redeemer. Blessed are You, Yahweh, redeemer of Israel.

Heal us, Yahweh, and we will be healed . Save us, and we will be saved, since our praise is to You.
And bring about a complete remedy for all of our afflictions, for You are Yahweh, a King who is a faithful
and compassionate healer. Blessed are You, Yahweh, who heals the sick of His people Israel.
9
Bless upon us, Yahweh our Elohim , this year and all of its types of produce for good. And give a
blessing on the surface of the Earth. Bring dew and rain for a blessing and satisfy us from Your bounty, and
bless this year like the good years. Blessed are You, Yahweh, who blesses the years.
10
Sound the shofar for our freedom, and raise a banner to gather in our exiles, and gather us together
from the four corners of the earth. Blessed are You, Yahweh, who gathers in the scattered ones of His
people Israel.
11
Return our judges to us , as they were in the earliest times, and the ones who gave us counsel, as at
first. And remove sorrow and groaning from us. And rule over us, You, Yahweh, all by Yourself, with
loving-kindness and compassion. And we should come out righteous in judgment. Blessed are You,
Yahweh, a King who loves righteousness and justice.
12
And for the slanderers let there be no hope , and may all evil be instantly destroyed. And all of
Your enemies should be quickly cut off, and the rebellious sinners You should quickly uproot, and smash,
and break, and humble quickly in our day. Blessed are You, Yahweh, who breaks enemies and humbles
rebellious sinners.
13
On the righteous, and on the devout , and on the elders of Your nation, and on the remnant of their
scholars and on the righteous converts, and on us, please bestow Your compassion, Yahweh our Elohim,
and give a good reward to all those who trust in Your name, in truth. And put our portion together with
theirs, and we will not be embarrassed, because we have trusted in You. Blessed are You, Yahweh,
Mainstay of, and Assurer to the righteous.
14
And to Jerusalem Your city You should return with compassion and You should dwell there as
You told us You would. And build it very soon, and in our days, as an everlasting building. And may You
speedily establish the throne of David within it. Blessed are You, Yahweh, who builds Jerusalem.
15
May the offspring of David, Your servant Yahshua , come quickly and raise his glory in Your
salvation, because we hope for Your salvation all day. Blessed are You, Yahweh, who makes the glory of
Yahshua flourish.
16
Hear our voice, Yahweh our Elohim , have pity and be compassionate to us, and accept our prayers
with compassion and willingness, because You are an Elohim who listens to prayer and supplication. And
from before You, O King, do not turn us away empty-handed, because You listen with compassion to the
prayers of Your people. Blessed are You, Yahweh, who hears prayer.
17
Be pleased, Yahweh our Elohim, with your people , Israel, and with their prayers, and reinstate the
service to the Holy of Holies in Your House. And accept their prayers with love and willingness, and may
the service of Your people, Israel, always be pleasing. And our eyes should see Your return to Zion with
compassion. Blessed are You, Yahweh, who returns His divine Presence to Zion.
18
We thank You, that You are Yahweh our Elohim , and the Elohim of our fathers, forever. You are
the Rock of our lives, the Shield of our salvation, in every generation. We will thank You and tell Your
praise for our lives which are given over into Your hand, and for our souls which are in safekeeping with
You, and for Your miracles which are with us everyday, and for Your wonders and goodness that occur at
all times - in evening and in the morning, and in the afternoon. You are good, for You have not stopped
Your compassion, and You are the Merciful One, for Your loving-kindness has not ceased.
19
Grant peace, goodness and blessing , graciousness, loving-kindness and compassion upon us, and
upon all Israel, Your nation. Bless us, our Father together as one, with the light of Your face, because, by
the light of Your face, You have given us, Yahweh our Elohim, a Torah of life, and a love of lovingkindness,
and righteousness and blessing and compassion, and life and peace. It is good in Your eyes to
bless Your people Israel at all times and every hour with Your peace. Blessed are You, Yahweh, who
blesses His people Israel with peace.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, O
Yahweh, my Strength and my Redeemer.
