Dear Jehovah God,
כהוְהוֹכִ֥חַ אַבְרָהָ֖ם אֶת־אֲבִימֶ֑לֶךְ עַל־אֹדוֹת֙ בְּאֵ֣ר הַמַּ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר גָּֽזְל֖וּ עַבְדֵ֥י אֲבִימֶֽלֶךְ:
And Abraham contended with Abimelech about the well of water that the servants of Abimelech had forcibly seized.
Isaiah 24:12 – city forsaken
Desolation is left in the city and the gate is battered to ruins.
Isaiah 14:31; 45:2 – gate
Wail, O gate; cry, O city; melt away, O Philistia, all of us; for smoke comes from the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
You go before us and make the rough places smooth; You shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars.
Intention of this prayer: gate.
Desolation left in the city and the gate battered to ruins. Wail, O gate; cry, O city; become demoralized, O Philistia, all YFA; for smoke comes from the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks. You go before YFA and make the mountains smooth; You shatter the doors of bronze and cut through their iron bars.
You are Sovereign. You Jehovah establish Your throne in the heavens, and Your sovereignty rules over all. I raise my eyes toward heaven and my reason returns to me, and I bless the Most High and praise and honor You who lives forever; for Your dominion is an everlasting dominion, and Your kingdom endures from generation to generation. All the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, but You do according to your will in the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth; and no one can ward off Your hand or say to You, “What have You done?” You it is who reduces rulers to nothing, who makes the judges of the earth meaningless. Remember this, and be assured; recall it to mind, we transgressors. Remember the former things long past, for You are God Jehovah, and there is no other; You are God, and there is no one like You, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things which have not been done. Your purpose will be established, and You will accomplish all Your good pleasure; calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of Your purpose from a far country. Truly You have spoken; truly You will bring it to pass. I have planned it, surely You will do it. You Jehovah God are totally, supremely, and preeminently over all Your creation.
You are Jealous. For I shall not worship any other god, for You Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. You creature are Jehovah, that is Your name; You do not give Your glory to another, nor Your praise to graven images. You, Jehovah God, are unwilling to share what is rightly and morally Yours with any other.
You are Jehovah God, Jehovah the One and Only!
שמע ישראל יהוה אלהנו יהוה אחד:
אמו. Amen, Amen, & Amen.
