Quotation_auto_tanakh su I Re 8:57

House of Jacob, Come let us walk in the light of Adonoy. For all the nations walk in the name of its god, but we walk in the Name of Adonoy, our God, forever. May Adonoy, our God, be with us as He was with our fathers, may He not forsake us nor abandon us, that He may turn our hearts to Him, to walk in all His ways, to preserve His commandments, His statutes, and His precepts, which He commanded our fathers. May these words of mine [with] which I have prayed before Adonoy, be near to Adonoy, our God by day and night; that He provide the needs of his servant and the needs of His people Israel each day. In order that it become known to all the peoples of the earth that Adonoy is God— there is nothing else.

Merciful and gracious Almighty, Have mercy upon us and upon all Your works, for there is none like You, Adonoy, our God. We beseech You, forgive our transgressions. Our Father, our King, our Rock and our Redeemer, the living and everlasting Almighty, mighty in strength, benevolent and good over all Your works – for You, Adonoy, are our God. Almighty, Who is slow to anger and full of mercy, deal with us according to Your great mercy and deliver us for Your Name’s sake. Hear our prayer, our King, and save us from the hand of our enemy. Hear our prayer, our King, and save us from all trouble and sorrow. You are our Father, our King, and Your Name is called upon us. Do not desert us; do not abandon us, our Father; do not cast us off, our Creator; do not forget us, our Former – for You are the gracious and merciful Almighty King.

We beseech You, gracious and compassionate King, remember and look to the Covenant between the divided pieces,²⁰See Genesis 15:9-21 for a complete account of this covenant with Abraham. and let appear before You the binding [upon the Altar] of the only son, and for the sake of Israel,²¹Some interpret the name “Israel” as a reference to the patriarch Jacob, who was called Israel. This prayer calls to mind the merit of all three patriarchs: Abraham, who bound his only son; Isaac, who willfully let himself be bound on the altar; and Jacob, whose entire life was one of suffering for God.—Iyun Tefilloh our father. Do not abandon²²To abandon means to leave a person to his own devices. “You know, our Father, that our own strength and intelligence are not adequate for us, so give us Your Fatherly care.”—S.R. Hirsch us our father, do not cast us off our King, do not forget us our Creator, and do not bring destruction upon us in our exile for You are the Almighty who is King, gracious and merciful.
