Title: A prayer - Yoshayv B'Sayter Elyon
Post by: muman613 on December 18, 2008, 01:53:44 AM
I would like everyone interested to read this prayer. It is to remind us of humanities relationship with the Alm-ghty.


Tehillim 91

Yoshayv B'Sayter Elyon
Who Sits in the Refuge of the Most High


"Who sits in the refuge of the Most High,
he shall dwell in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of Hashem, 'He is my refuge and my fortress,
my G-d, I will trust in Him.'

For He will deliver you from the ensnaring trap, from devastating pestilence.

With His pinion He will cover you, and beneath His wings you will be protected;
shield and armor is His truth.

You shall not fear the terror of night: nor the arrow that flies by day;
nor the pestilence that walks in gloom;
nor the destroyer who lays waste at noon.


Let a thousand encamp at your side and a myriad at your right hand,
but to you they shall not approach.

You will merely peer with your eyes,
and you will see the retribution of the wicked.

Because [you said,] 'You, Hashem, are my refuge,'
you have made the Most High your dwelling place.

No evil shall befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent.

He will charge His angels for you, to protect you in all your ways.

On their palms they will carry you, lest you strike a foot against a stone.

Upon the lion and the viper you will tread;
you will trample the young lion and the serpent.


For he has yearned for Me and I will deliver him;
I will elevate him because he knows My Name.

He will call upon Me and I will answer him,
I am with him in distress, I will release him and I will honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him, and I will show him My salvation.
With long life will I satisfy him, and I will show him My salvation.

Hi ~Hanna~,

I hope you are keeping warm {It is pretty cold out here in NorCal}...

This Tehillim is very special... We say it in our Shabbat morning {Shacharit} service.

Muman, you seem to have this unique ability to bring up what I need to hear.  It seems that whenever I am missing something, I can find one of your posts and it satisfies that void.  G-d bless you!
