How wonderful, O Lord, are
the works of your hands!
The heavens declare Your glory,
the arch of the sky displays Your handiwork
In Your love
You have given us the power
to behold the beauty of Your world
robed in all its splendor.
The sun and the stars,
the valleys and the hills,
the rivers and the lakes all disclose Your presence.
The roaring breakers of the sea tell
of Your awesome might,
the beast of the field and the birds of the air
bespeak Your wondrous will.
In Your goodness
You have made us able to hear
the music of the world.
The voices of the loved ones
reveal to us that You are in our
midst.
A divine voice sings through all creation.

Hear my cry, O God;
listen to my prayer.
From
the ends of the earth I call to you,
I call as my heart grows faint;
lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For
you have been my refuge,
a strong tower against the foe
I long to dwell in your tent forever
and take refuge in the
shelter of your wings. |
| psalm of david |
In the name of Adonai
the God of Israel:
May the angel Michael be at my right,
and the angel Gabriel
be at my left;
and in front of me the angel Uriel,
and behind me the angel Raphael...
and above my head
the Sh'khinah
(Divine Presence).
Traditional
Lie us down,
Adonai our God,
in peace;
and raise us up again,
our Ruler,
in life.
Spread over us Your Sukkah of peace,
direct us with Your good counsel,
and save us for Your own Name's
sake.
Shield us;
remove from us
every enemy, pestilence, sword, famine, and sorrow.
Remove all adversaries
from before us and from behind us,
and shelter us in the shadow of Your wings.
For You are our
guarding and saving God,
yes, a gracious and compassionate God and King.
Guard our going out
and our coming in
for life and peace,
now and always!
