It is Shabbat!

It's Shabbat today!

I'm glad that today is Shabbat

because I get to learn more of the Torah.

  “Remember the Sabbath day,

to set it apart.

  “Six days you labour,

and shall do all your work, 

  but the seventh day is a Sabbath of יהוה your Elohim.

You do not do any work

  you, nor your son, 

nor your daughter,

nor your male servant, 

nor your female servant, 

nor your cattle,

nor your stranger who is within your gates. 

  “For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth,

the sea, and all that is in them, 

and rested the seventh day. 

Therefore יהוה blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart.

Exodus 20:8-11

Have a blessed Shabbat!

Giving Thanks

My sister Ally is coming home from collage tomorrow!

This is certainly a time to thank and to praise YHVH!

  

  Oh, give thanks to יהוה, 

for He is good!

Because His kindness is everlasting

.   Let Yisra’ĕl now say, 

“His kindness is everlasting.” 

  Let the house of Aharon now say, 

“His kindness is everlasting.”

 Let those who fear יהוה now say, 

“His kindness is everlasting.” 

  I called on Yah in distress;

Yah answered me in a broad place.

  יהוה is on my side;

I do not fear what man does to me! 

  יהוה is for me among those helping me;

Therefore I look on those hating me.

 It is better to take refuge in יהוה
Than to trust in man. 

  It is better to take refuge in יהוה
Than to trust in princes.

Psalms 118:1-9

Praise YHVH! Psalm 148

Praise Yah! Praise יהוה from the heavens,
Praise Him in the heights!

Praise Him, all His messengers;
Praise Him, all His hosts!

Praise Him, sun and moon;
Praise Him, all you stars of light!

Praise Him, heavens of heavens,
And you waters above the heavens!

Let them praise the Name of יהוה,
For He commanded and they were created. 

And He established them forever and ever,
He gave a law and they pass not beyond.

Praise יהוה from the earth,
You great sea creatures and all the depths,

Fire and hail, snow and clouds,
Stormy wind that does His word,

The mountains and all hills,
Fruit tree and all cedars,

Wild beasts and all cattle,
Creeping creatures and flying birds,

Sovereigns of the earth and all peoples,
Rulers and all judges of the earth,   

Both young men and maidens,
Old men and children.   

Let them praise the Name of יהוה,
For His Name alone is exalted, 

His splendour is above the earth and heavens.   

He also lifts up the horn of His people,
The praise of all His kind ones; 

Of the children of Yisra’ĕl,
A people near to Him. Praise Yah!

 Psalm 148
