Part 1 of 26

Psalm 95

O come, let us sing unto the LORD;

Let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,

Let us shout for joy unto Him with psalms.

For the LORD is a great God,

And a great King above all gods;

In whose hand are the depths of the earth;

The heights of the mountains are His also.

The sea is His, and He made it;

And His hands formed the dry land.

O come, let us bow down and bend the knee;

Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;

For He is our God,

And we are the people of His pasture, and the flock of His hand.

To-day, if ye would but hearken to His voice!

‘Harden not your heart, as at Meribah,

As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;

When your fathers tried Me,

Proved Me, even though they saw My work.

For forty years was I wearied with that generation,

And said: It is a people that do err in their heart,

And they have not known My ways;

Wherefore I swore in My wrath,

That they should not enter into My arest.’

Psalm 100

Shout unto the LORD, all the earth.

Serve the LORD with gladness;

Come before His presence with singing.

Know ye that the LORD He is God;

It is He that hath made us, and we are 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 the LORD is good; His mercy endureth for ever;

And His faithfulness unto all generations.

Psalm 29

Ascribe unto the LORD, O ye sons of might,

Ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.

Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name;

Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness.

The voice of the LORD is upon the waters;

The God of glory thundereth,

Even the LORD upon many waters.

The voice of the LORD is powerful;

The voice of the LORD is full of majesty.

The voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars;

yea, the LORD breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

He maketh them also to skip like a calf;

Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.

The voice of the LORD heweth out flames of fire.

The voice of the LORD shaketh the wilderness;

The LORD shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.

The voice of the LORD maketh the hinds to calve,

And strippeth the forests bare;

And in His temple all say: ‘Glory.’

The LORD sat enthroned at the flood;

Yea, the LORD sitteth as King for ever.

The LORD will give strength unto His people;

The LORD will bless his people with peace.

Ana Bekoach

Please [God] with the power of the greatness of Your right hand, free the captive [Israel from its Exile].

Accept the singing [prayer] of Your people. Strengthen us & purify us, Awesome One.

Please, Mighty One, those that seek Your unity – like the pupil of the eyes – guard them.

Bless them & purify them. The mercy of Your righteousness always bestow upon them.

Mighty & Holy One with the abundance of your good, lead Your congregation.

Single Exalted One, turn to Your people – those that remind of Your Holiness .

Accept our pleading & hear our wailing – [You] Who knows the hidden.

(And Say Silently)

Blessed be the Name of His glorious kingdom forever more.
