Jewish Prayer: Adon Olam

[Lorenzo]

An ancient Jewish Prayer, that has been recited by Jews since the Days of Moses.

It is called The Adon Olam, meaning 'Master of the World'



Master of the World who was king,

before any form was created.

At the time when He made all through His will,

then His name was called 'King'.

And after all is gone,

He, the Awesome One, will reign alone.

And He was, and He is,

and He will be in splendor.

And He is One, and there is no second,

to compare to Him or be His equal.

Without beginning, without end,

to Him is the power and rulership.

And He is my God and my living Redeemer,

and the Rock of my fate in times of distress.

He is my banner and He is a refuge for me,

my portion on the day I cry out,

In His hand I entrust my spirit,

when I sleep and when I wake.

And my soul shall remain with my body,

HaShem is with me and I am not afraid.

YWEH is LORD!

*Note,


In the Jewish Faith, there is no name of GOD. Nor can Jews say the name of GOD. This is why they refer to him as YWEH. In the Jewish Faith, the Name of God is 70 times holier than the torah (The Laws of Moses, which was written by the Hand of God, Literally).

In the Jewish Faith, no one is worthy to say the name of God. As the tongue of man is dirty and unclean. No one, not even the Prophets can call upon the Name of GOD.
