Who is the man that desireth life, and loveth days, that he may see good therein? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes of YHWH are toward the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry. The face of YHWH is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. They cried, and YHWH heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles. YHWH is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit. Many are the ills of the righteous, but YHWH delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken. Evil shall kill the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall be held guilty. YHWH redeemeth the soul of His servants; and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate. (Psalms 34:2-23) Blessed be YHWH for evermore. Amen, and Amen. (Psalms

And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. (Genesis 1:1-5)

YHWH by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding He established the heavens.

On Sunday night: And God said: 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.' And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. (Genesis 1:6-8) On Monday night: And God said: 'Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear.' And it was so. And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters called He Seas; and God saw that it was good. And God said: 'Let the earth put forth grass, herb yielding seed, and fruit-tree bearing fruit after its kind, wherein is the seed thereof, upon the earth.' And it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, herb yielding seed after its kind, and tree bearing fruit, wherein is the seed thereof, after its kind; and God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, a third day. (Genesis 1:9-13) On Tuesday night: And God said: 'Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth.' And it was so. And God d th t t li ht th t li ht t l www.servantofmessiah.org

And God created the great sea-monsters, and every living creature that creepeth, wherewith the waters swarmed, after its kind, and every winged fowl after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

And God blessed them, saying: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.' And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. (Genesis 1:20-23) On Thursday night: And God said: 'Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind.' And it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good. And God said: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.' And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. And God blessed them; and God said unto them: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creepeth upon the earth.' And God said: 'Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed -- to you it shall be for food; and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, I have given every green herb for food.' And it was so. And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. (Genesis 1:24-31)

‫סדור תפלות הקראים‬ On Sunday night: Hallelujah. Praise YHWH, O my soul. I will praise YHWH while I live; I will sing praises unto my God while I have my being. Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his dust; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in YHWH his God, Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is; who keepeth truth for ever; Who executeth justice for the oppressed; who giveth bread to the hungry. YHWH looseth the prisoners; YHWH openeth the eyes of the blind; YHWH raiseth up them that are bowed down; YHWH loveth the righteous; YHWH preserveth the strangers; He upholdeth the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked He maketh crooked. YHWH will reign for ever, Thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.

Hallelujah. (Psalms 146:1-10) Blessed be YHWH for evermore. Amen, and Amen. (Psalms 89:53) On Monday night: Hallelujah; for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant, and praise is comely.

YHWH doth build up Jerusalem, He gathereth together the dispersed of Israel; Who healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.

He counteth the number of the stars; He giveth them all their names. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.

YHWH upholdeth the humble; He bringeth the wicked down to the ground. Sing unto YHWH with thanksgiving, sing praises upon the harp unto our God; Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh the mountains to spring with grass.

He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. He delighteth not in the strength of the horse; He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man. YHWH taketh pleasure in them that fear Him, in those that wait for His mercy. Glorify YHWH, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion. For He hath made strong the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee. He maketh thy borders peace; He giveth thee in plenty the fat of wheat. He sendeth out His commandment upon earth; His word runneth very swiftly. He giveth snow like wool; He scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes. He casteth forth His ice like crumbs; who can stand before His cold? He sendeth forth His word, and melteth them; He causeth His wind to blow,

Praise ye Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all ye stars of light. Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens. Let them praise the name of YHWH; for He commanded, and they were created. He hath also established them for ever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall not be transgressed. Praise YHWH from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all deeps; Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling His word; Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars; Beasts and all cattle, creeping things and winged fowl; Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes and all judges of the earth; Both young men and maidens, old men and children; Let them praise the name of YHWH, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven. And He hath lifted up a horn for His people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people near unto Him. Hallelujah. (Psalms 148:1-14) Blessed be YHWH for evermore.

And thou shalt love YHWH thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be upon thy heart; and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be for frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates. (Deuteronomy 6:5-9)

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto My commandments which I command you this day, to love YHWH your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat and be satisfied. Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and bow down unto them; and the anger of YHWH be kindled against you, and He shut up the heaven, so that there shall be no rain, and the ground shall not yield her fruit; and ye perish quickly from off the good land which YHWH giveth you.

Therefore shall ye lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates; that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, upon the land which YHWH swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.

(K.S.) YHWH shall reign for ever and ever. (Exodus 15:18) YHWH is king, YHWH has always been king. (K.S.) YHWH shall reign for ever and ever.

Blessed be the name of YHWH from this time forth and for ever. From the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof YHWH'S name is to be praised. (Psalms 113:2-3) A Psalm of David. Bless YHWH, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless YHWH, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits; Who forgiveth all thine iniquity; who healeth all Thy diseases; Who redeemeth Thy life from the pit; who encompasseth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thine old age with good things; so that Thy youth is renewed like the eagle. YHWH executeth righteousness, and acts of justice for all that are oppressed. He made known His ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel. YHWH is full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always contend; neither will He keep His anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor requited us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.

O YHWH my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with glory and majesty. Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment, who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain; Who layest the beams of Thine upper chambers in the waters, who makest the clouds Thy chariot, who walkest upon the wings of the wind; Who makest winds Thy messengers, the flaming fire Thy ministers. Who didst establish the earth upon its foundations, that it should not be moved for ever and ever; Thou didst cover it with the deep as with a vesture; the waters stood above the mountains. At Thy rebuke they fled, at the voice of Thy thunder they hasted away -- The mountains rose, the valleys sank down -- unto the place which Thou hadst founded for them; Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass over, that they might not return to cover the earth.

Who sendest forth springs into the valleys; they run between the mountains; They give drink to every beast of the field, the wild asses quench their thirst. Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven, from among the branches they sing.

Who waterest the mountains from Thine upper chambers; the earth is full of the fruit of Thy works. Who causeth the grass to spring up for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; to bring forth bread out of the earth, And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, making the face brighter than oil, and bread that stayeth man's heart. The trees of YHWH have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted; Wherein the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the firtrees are her house. The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the conies. Who appointedst the moon for seasons; the sun knoweth his going down. Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of

the forest do creep forth. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God. The sun ariseth, they slink away, and couch in their dens. Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. How manifold are Thy works, O YHWH! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; the earth is full of Thy creatures. Yonder sea, great and wide, therein are creeping things innumerable, living creatures, both small and great. There go the ships; there is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to sport therein. All of them wait for Thee, that Thou mayest give them their food in due season. Thou givest it unto them, they gather it; Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied with good. Thou hidest Thy face, they vanish; Thou withdrawest their breath, they perish, and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created; and Thou renewest the face of the earth. May the glory of YHWH endure for ever; let YHWH rejoice in His works! Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing unto YHWH as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

Let my musing be sweet unto Him; as for me, I will rejoice in YHWH. Let sinners cease out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless YHWH, O my soul. Hallelujah. (Psalms 104:1-35)

and beast of the earth after its kind.' And it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after its kind, and the cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good. And God said: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.' And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. And God blessed them; and God said unto them: 'Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that creepeth upon the earth.' And God said: 'Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed -- to you it shall be for food; and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is a living soul, I have given every green herb for food.' And it was so. And God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.

And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying: Command the children of Israel, and say unto them: My food which is presented unto Me for offerings made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Me, shall ye observe to offer unto Me in its due season. And thou shalt say unto them: This is the offering made by fire which ye shall bring unto YHWH: he-lambs of the first year without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burntoffering. The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at dusk; and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. It is a continual burnt-offering, which was offered in mount Sinai, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto YHWH. And the drink-offering thereof shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb; in the holy place shalt thou pour out a drink-offering of strong drink unto YHWH. And the other lamb shalt thou present at dusk; as the meal-offering of the morning, and as the drink-offering thereof, thou shalt present it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH.

Exalt ye YHWH our God, and bows down towards His holy hill; for YHWH our God is holy. (Psalms 99:1-9) Blessed be YHWH for evermore. Amen, and Amen. (Psalms 89:53) On Monday: O YHWH, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth. Lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth; render to the proud their recompense. YHWH, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult? They gush out, they speak arrogancy; all the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily. They crush Thy people, O YHWH, and afflict Thy heritage. They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. And they say: 'YHWH will not see, neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'

Consider, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye understand? He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see? He that instructeth nations, shall not He correct? even He that teacheth man knowledge? YHWH knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O YHWH, and teachest out of Thy law; That Thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked. For YHWH will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His inheritance. For right shall return unto justice, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? Unless YHWH had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence. If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O YHWH, holdeth me up. When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul. Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute? They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood. But YHWH hath been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge. And He hath brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil; YHWH our God will cut them off. (Psalms 94:1-23) Blessed be YHWH for evermore. Amen, and Amen. (Psalms 89:53) On Tuesday:

Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples. For great is YHWH, and highly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but YHWH made the heavens. Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

Ascribe unto YHWH, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto YHWH glory and strength. Ascribe unto YHWH the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts. O bow down unto YHWH in the beauty of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth. Say among the nations: 'YHWH reigneth.' The world also is established that it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult; and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy; Before YHWH, for He is come; for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in His faithfulness.

multitude of isles be glad. Clouds and darkness are round about Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. A fire goeth before Him, and burneth up His adversaries round about. His lightnings lighted up the world; the earth saw, and trembled. The mountains melted like wax at the presence of YHWH, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. The heavens declared His righteousness, and all the peoples saw His glory. Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of things of nought; bow down to Him, all ye gods.

Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced; because of Thy judgments, O YHWH. For Thou, YHWH, art most high above all the earth; Thou art exalted far above all gods. O ye that love YHWH, hate evil; He preserveth the souls of His saints; He delivered them out of the hand of the wicked. Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

Be glad in YHWH, ye righteous; and give thanks to His holy name. (Psalms 97:1-12) Blessed be YHWH for evermore. Amen, and Amen. (Psalms

O YHWH, our Lord, how glorious is Thy name in all the earth! whose majesty is rehearsed above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast Thou founded strength, because of Thine adversaries; that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. When I behold Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast established; What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou thinkest of him? Yet Thou hast made him but little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou hast made him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under His feet: Sheep and oxen, all of them, yea, and the beasts of the field; The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea; whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O YHWH, our Lord, how glorious is Thy name in all the earth! (Psalms 8:2-10) Blessed be YHWH for evermore. Amen, and Amen. (Psalms 89:53)

Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, and be in the right when Thou judgest. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.

Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me. Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness. O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burntoffering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar. (Psalms 51:3-21)

‫סדור תפלות הקראים‬ sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; according to Thy mercy remember Thou me, for Thy goodness' sake, O YHWH. Good and upright is YHWH; therefore doth He instruct sinners in the way. He guideth The humble in justice; and He teacheth the humble His way. All the paths of YHWH are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. For Thy name's sake, O YHWH, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great. What man is he that feareth YHWH? him will He instruct in the way that He should choose. His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the land. The counsel of YHWH is with them that fear Him; and His covenant, to make them know it. Mine eyes are ever toward YHWH; for He will bring forth my feet out of the net. Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses. See mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins. Consider how many are mine enemies, and the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me. O keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for Thee. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. (Psalms 25:1*-22) YHWH redeemeth the soul of His servants; and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. Selah Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger. Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine indignation toward us to cease. Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations? Wilt Thou not quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee? Show us Thy mercy, O YHWH, and grant us Thy salvation. I will hear what God YHWH will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly. Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.

YHWH, how many are mine adversaries become!

Many are they that rise up against me. Many there are that say of my soul: 'There is no salvation for him in God.' Selah But thou, O YHWH, art a shield about me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head. With my voice I call unto YHWH, and He answereth me out of His holy mountain. Selah I lay me down, and I sleep; I awake, for YHWH sustaineth me. I am not afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about. Arise, O YHWH; save me, O my God; for Thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek, Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked. Salvation belongeth unto YHWH; Thy blessing be upon Thy people. Selah. (Psalms 3:2-9) Blessed be YHWH for evermore. Amen, and Amen. (Psalms 89:53)

A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God. Thou turnest man to contrition; and sayest: 'Return, ye children of men.' For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. For we are consumed in Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we hurried away. Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance. For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath; we bring our years to an end as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but travail and vanity; for it is speedily gone, and we fly away. Who knoweth the power of Thine anger, and Thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto Thee? So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom. Return, O YHWH; how long? And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants. O satisfy us in the morning with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us,

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto My commandments which I command you this day, to love YHWH your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat and be satisfied. Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and bow down unto them; and the anger of YHWH be kindled against you, and He shut up the heaven, so that there shall be no rain, and the ground shall not yield her fruit; and ye perish quickly from off the good land which YHWH giveth you.

Therefore shall ye lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates; that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, upon the land which YHWH swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.

And YHWH spoke unto Moses, saying: Command the children of Israel, and say unto them: My food which is presented unto Me for offerings made by fire, of a sweet savour unto Me, shall ye observe to offer unto Me in its due season. And thou shalt say unto them: This is the offering made by fire which ye shall bring unto YHWH: he-lambs of the first year without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burntoffering. The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at dusk; and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. It is a continual burnt-offering, which was offered in mount Sinai, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto YHWH. And the drink-offering thereof shall be the fourth part of a hin for the one lamb; in the holy place shalt thou pour out a drink-offering of strong drink unto YHWH. And the other lamb shalt thou present at dusk; as the meal-offering of the morning, and as the drink-offering thereof, thou shalt present it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH. (Numbers 28:1-8)

place which Thou hadst founded for them; Thou didst set a bound which they should not pass over, that they might not return to cover the earth.

Who sendest forth springs into the valleys; they run between the mountains; They give drink to every beast of the field, the wild asses quench their thirst. Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven, from among the branches they sing.

Who waterest the mountains from Thine upper chambers; the earth is full of the fruit of Thy works. Who causeth the grass to spring up for the cattle, and herb for the service of man; to bring forth bread out of the earth, And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, making the face brighter than oil, and bread that stayeth man's heart. The trees of YHWH have their fill, the cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted; Wherein the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the firtrees are her house. The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the conies. Who appointedst the moon for seasons; the sun knoweth his going down. Thou makest darkness, and it is night, wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God. The sun ariseth, they slink away, and couch in their dens. Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening. How manifold are Thy works, O YHWH! In wisdom hast Thou made them all; the earth is full of Thy creatures. Yonder sea, great and wide, therein are creeping things innumerable, living creatures, both small and great. There go the ships; there is leviathan, whom Thou hast formed to sport therein. All of them wait for Thee, that Thou mayest give them their food in due season. Thou givest it unto them, they gather it; Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied with good. Thou hidest Thy face, they vanish; Thou withdrawest their breath, they perish, and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created; and Thou renewest the face of the earth. May the glory of YHWH endure for ever; let YHWH rejoice in His works! Who looketh on the earth, and it trembleth; He toucheth the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing unto YHWH as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.

Let my musing be sweet unto Him; as for me, I will rejoice in YHWH. Let sinners cease out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless YHWH, O my soul. Hallelujah. (Psalms 104:1-35)

(Psalms 104:2) For, lo, He that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth; YHWH, the God of hosts, is His name.

(Psalms 113:2-3) For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things; Thou art God alone. (Psalms 86:10) Thou art YHWH, even Thou alone; Thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth and all things that are thereon, the seas and all that is in them, and Thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven bows down unto Thee.

A Psalm of thanksgiving. Shout unto YHWH, all the earth. Serve YHWH with gladness; come before His presence with singing. Know ye that YHWH He is God; it is He that hath made us, and we our His, His people, and the flock of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise; give thanks unto Him, and bless His name. For YHWH is good; His mercy endureth for ever; and His faithfulness unto all generations. (Psalms 100:1-5) The beginning of Thy word is truth; and all Thy righteous ordinance endureth for ever. (Psalms 119:160) Thou hast ordained Thy precepts, that we should observe them diligently. (Psalms 119:4)

And thou shalt say unto them: This is the offering made by fire which ye shall bring unto YHWH: he-lambs of the first year without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burntoffering. The one lamb shalt thou offer in the morning, and the other lamb shalt thou offer at dusk; and the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil. It is a continual burnt-offering, which was offered in mount Sinai, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto YHWH.

YHWH. And the other lamb shalt thou present at dusk; as the meal-offering of the morning, and as the drink-offering thereof, thou shalt present it, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto YHWH (Numbers 28:1-8) And Aaron shall burn thereon incense of sweet ‫ֹקר‬ ֶ ‫אַהרֹן ְקט ֶֹרת ַס ִמּים | ַבּבּ‬ ֲ ‫וְ ִה ְק ִטיר ָע ָליו‬ spices; every morning, when he dresseth the ‫ )שמות‬:‫ירנָּה‬ ֶ ‫ַק ִט‬ ְ ‫יטיבוֹ ֶאת ַה ֵנּרֹת י‬ ִ ‫ַבּבּ ֶֹקר ְבּ ֵה‬ lamps, he shall burn it.

YHWH reigneth; let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake. YHWH is great in Zion; and He is high above all the peoples. Let them praise Thy name as great and awful; Holy is He. The strength also of the king who loveth justice--Thou hast established equity, Thou hast executed justice and righteousness in Jacob. Exalt ye YHWH our God, and prostrate yourselves at His footstool; Holy is He. Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among them that call upon His name, did call upon YHWH, and He answered them. He spoke unto them in the pillar of cloud; they kept His testimonies, and the statute that He gave them. O YHWH our God, Thou didst answer them; a forgiving God wast Thou unto them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds. Exalt ye YHWH our God, and bows down towards His holy hill; for YHWH our God is holy. (Psalms 99:1-9) Blessed be YHWH for evermore. Amen, and Amen. (Psalms 89:53)

And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? for we have forsaken Thy commandments.

(Ezra 9:10) We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.

(Psalms 106:6) We have sinned, and have dealt iniquitously, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, and have turned aside from Thy commandments and from Thine ordinances.

(Daniel 9:5) What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves?

(Genesis 44:16*) Because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us. (Daniel 9:16*) The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning. The crown is fallen from our head; woe unto us! for we have sinned. For this our heart is faint, for

(Psalms 59:17) O satisfy us in the morning with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. (Psalms 90:14) Cause me to hear Thy lovingkindness in the morning, for in Thee do I trust; cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for unto Thee have I lifted up my soul. (Psalms 143:8) O YHWH, be gracious unto us; we have waited for Thee; be Thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. (Isaiah 33:2) Forgive all iniquity, and accept that which is good; so will we render for bullocks the offering of our lips. (Hosea 14:3*) I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving. And it shall please YHWH better than a bullock that hath horns and hoofs. (Psalms 69:31-32) O send out Thy light and Thy truth; let them lead me; let them bring me unto Thy holy mountain, and to Thy dwelling-places. Then will I go unto the altar of God, unto God, my exceeding joy; and praise Thee upon the harp, O God, my God. (Psalms 43:3-4) And I will offer in His tabernacle sacrifices with trumpet-sound; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto YHWH.

(Psalms 61:2)

But as for me, let my prayer be unto Thee, O YHWH, in an acceptable time; O God, in the abundance of Thy mercy, answer me with the truth of Thy salvation. (Psalms 69:14) Incline Thine ear, O YHWH, and answer me; for I am poor and needy. Keep my soul, for I am godly; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee. Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto Thee do I cry all the day. Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to pardon, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee. Give ear, O YHWH, unto my prayer; and attend unto the voice of my supplications. In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me. There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, and there are no works like Thine. All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify Thy name. For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things; Thou art God alone. Teach me, O YHWH, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth; make one my heart to fear Thy name. I will thank Thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify Thy name for evermore. For great is Thy mercy toward me; and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest nether-world. O God, the proud are risen up against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set Thee before them. But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth. O turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thy handmaid.

Work in my behalf a sign for good; that they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because Thou, YHWH, hast helped me, and comforted me. (Psalms 86:1*-17) My help cometh

Be gracious unto me, O God, according to Thy mercy; according to the multitude of Thy compassions blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me. Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in Thy sight; that Thou mayest be justified when Thou speakest, and be in the right when Thou judgest. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.

Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts; make me, therefore, to know wisdom in mine inmost heart. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast crushed may rejoice.

Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. Create me a clean heart, O God; and renew a stedfast spirit within me. Cast me not away from Thy presence; and take not Thy holy spirit from me. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and let a willing spirit uphold me. Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall return unto Thee. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation; so shall my tongue sing aloud of Thy righteousness. O Lord, open Thou my lips; and my mouth shall declare Thy praise. For Thou delightest not in sacrifice, else would I give it; Thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise. Do good in Thy favour unto Zion; build Thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then wilt Thou delight in the sacrifices of righteousness, in burntoffering and whole offering; then will they offer bullocks upon Thine altar. (Psalms 51:3-21)

the way. He guideth The humble in justice; and He teacheth the humble His way. All the paths of YHWH are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. For Thy name's sake, O YHWH, pardon mine iniquity, for it is great. What man is he that feareth YHWH? him will He instruct in the way that He should choose. His soul shall abide in prosperity; and his seed shall inherit the land. The counsel of YHWH is with them that fear Him; and His covenant, to make them know it. Mine eyes are ever toward YHWH; for He will bring forth my feet out of the net. Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am solitary and afflicted. The troubles of my heart are enlarged; O bring Thou me out of my distresses. See mine affliction and my travail; and forgive all my sins. Consider how many are mine enemies, and the cruel hatred wherewith they hate me. O keep my soul, and deliver me; let me not be ashamed, for I have taken refuge in Thee. Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, because I wait for Thee. Redeem Israel, O God, out of all his troubles. (Psalms 25:1*-22) YHWH redeemeth the soul of His servants; and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.

(Psalms 34:23) Blessed be YHWH for evermore.

Amen, and Amen. (Psalms 89:53)

As for God, His way is perfect; the word of YHWH is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him. (Psalms 18:31) Every word of God is tried; He is a shield unto them that take refuge in Him. (Proverbs 30:5) I am all peace; but when I speak, they are for war. (Psalms 12:7) I rejoice at Thy word, as one that findeth great spoil. (Psalms 119:162) How sweet are Thy words unto my palate! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Psalms 119:103) Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

(Proverbs 16:24) Thy word is tried to the uttermost, and Thy servant loveth it. (Psalms 119:140)

It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel for ever; for in six days YHWH made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He ceased from work and rested.' (Exodus 31:12-17) And Moses assembled all the congregation of the children of Israel, and said unto them: 'These are the words which YHWH hath commanded, that ye should do them.

Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you a holy day, a sabbath of solemn rest to YHWH; whosoever doeth any work therein shall be put to death. Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.' (Exodus 35:1-3)

A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that art enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.

Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up Thy might, and come to save us. O God, restore us; and cause Thy face to shine, and we shall be saved. O YHWH God of hosts, how long wilt Thou be angry against the prayer of Thy people? Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, and given them tears to drink in large measure.

Why hast Thou broken down her fences, so that all they that pass by the way do pluck her? The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, that which moveth in the field feedeth on it. O God of hosts, return, we beseech Thee; look from heaven, and behold, and be mindful of this vine, And of the stock which Thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that Thou madest strong for Thyself. It is burned with fire, it is cut down; they perish at the rebuke of Thy countenance. Let Thy hand be upon the man of Thy right hand, upon the son of man whom Thou madest strong for Thyself.

YHWH, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.

Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. Selah Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger. Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine indignation toward us to cease. Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations? Wilt Thou not quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee? Show us Thy mercy, O YHWH, and grant us Thy salvation. I will hear what God YHWH will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly. Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

evermore. Amen, and Amen. (Psalms 89:53) And there hath not arisen a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom YHWH knew face to face. (Deuteronomy 34:10)

‫ָביא עוֹד ְבּיִ ְשׂ ָר ֵאל ְכּמ ֶֹשׁה | ֲא ֶשׁר‬ ִ ‫וְ לֹא ָקם נ‬ (‫י‬,‫ )דברים לד‬:‫אל ָפּנִ ים‬ ֶ ‫יְ ָדעוֹ יְ הוָה ָפּנִ ים‬

A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, Thou art God. Thou turnest man to contrition; and sayest: 'Return, ye children of men.' For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep; in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. For we are consumed in Thine anger, and by Thy wrath are we hurried away. Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, our secret sins in the light of Thy countenance. For all our days are passed away in Thy wrath; we bring our years to an end as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten, or even by reason of strength fourscore years; yet is their pride but travail and vanity; for it is speedily gone, and we fly away. Who knoweth the power of Thine anger, and Thy wrath according to the fear that is due unto Thee? So teach us to number our days, that we may get us a heart of wisdom. Return, O YHWH; how long? And let it repent Thee concerning Thy servants. O satisfy us in the morning with Thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, according to the years wherein we have seen evil. Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, and Thy glory upon their children. And let the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; establish Thou also upon us the work of our hands; yea, the work of our hands establish Thou it. (Psalms 90:1-17)

(Isaiah 63:15-16) But now, O YHWH, Thou art our Father; we are the clay, and Thou our potter, and we all are the work of Thy hand. Be not wroth very sore, O YHWH, neither remember iniquity for ever; behold, look, we beseech Thee, we are all Thy people. Thy holy cities are become a wilderness, Zion is become a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised Thee, is burned with fire; and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto My commandments which I command you this day, to love YHWH your God, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul, that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil. And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat and be satisfied. Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and bow down unto them; and the anger of YHWH be kindled against you, and He shut up the heaven, so that there shall be no rain, and the ground shall not yield her fruit; and ye perish quickly from off the good land which YHWH giveth you.

Therefore shall ye lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
