Psalm 114
- When Israel came out of Egypt:
the house of Jacob from among
the people of an alien tongue, - Judah became the Lord's temple:
and Israel became God's kingdom. - The sea fled at the sight of it:
and Jordan turned back in its course. - The mountains skipped like rams:
and the hills like yearling sheep. - Why was it that you fled O sea:
and you Jordan that you turned back. - you mountains that you skipped like rams:
and you hills like yearling sheep? - Tremble O earth at the presence of the Lord:
at the presence of the God of Jacob, - who turned the hard rock into a pool of water:
and the flint-stone into a gushing spring.

Our God and God of our fathers,
may there ascend, come and reach,
be seen, accepted, and heard,
recalled and remembered before You,
the remembrance and recollection of us,
the remembrance of our fathers,
the remembrance of Mashiach the son of David Your servant,
the remembrance of Jerusalem Your holy city,
and the remembrance of all Your people the House of Israel,
for deliverance, well-being,
grace, kindness, mercy,
good life and peace,
on this day of the Festival of Sukkot.
Remember us on this day, Lord our God, for good;
be mindful of us on this day for blessing;
help us on this day for good life.
With the promise of deliverance and Compassion,
spare us and be gracious to us;
have mercy upon us and deliver us;
for our eyes are directed to You,
for You, God, are a gracious and merciful King.
Amen.
