Gilad Shalit

   

Women's Prayer for Gilad Shalit
(an I.D.F. soldier captured in June, 2006 and held hostage since then by Hamas)

I urge you to join me and thousands of Jewish women in a prayer for the release and safe return of Gilad Shalit to his family.
Please read Psalms (Tehillim), chapter 142.

1 Maschil of David, {N}
when he was in the cave; a Prayer.

2 With my voice I cry unto the LORD; with my voice I make supplication unto the LORD.

3 I pour out my complaint before Him, I declare before Him my trouble;

4 When my spirit fainteth within me--Thou knowest my path-- {N}
in the way wherein I walk have they hidden a snare for me.

5 Look on my right hand, and see, for there is no man that knoweth me; {N}
I have no way to flee; no man careth for my soul.

6 I have cried unto Thee, O LORD; {N}
I have said: 'Thou art my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.'

7 Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low; {N}
deliver me from my persecutors; for they are too strong for me.

8 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto Thy name; {N}
the righteous shall crown themselves because of me; for Thou wilt deal bountifully with me. {P}
