Tehillim 55. 1-5
Listen, YHVH , to my tefillah! Don't hide yourself from my davening!pay attention to me, and answer me!
I am stressed and fearful as i make complaint, I shudder at how the enemy shouts, at how the wicked oppress; for they continue reaping trouble on me and angrily tormenting me, fear and trembling overwhelm me, horror covers me.
The Orthodox Jewish Bible
Tehillim 55.1-5
(For the one directing. With Neginos. Maskil of Dovid)
Give ear to my tefillah, O Elohim; and veil not Thyself from my techinnah(supplication.)
3.Attend unto me, and hear me; I wander restlessly in my si'ach (anxiety) and aloud I groan
4.Because of the voice of the oyev ( enemy), because of the oppression of the rasha ( evildoer);for they cast aven( iniquity) upon me, and in af (wrath,anger) cherish their malice against me.
5.My lev writhes within me;and the terrors of mavet are fallen upon me.

Messianic Halakha comes to us from the Hebrew word to mean: To walk, This path,
This way. It is a term for rules and rulings that govern Jewish life. In this less we will cover of the Halakha listings. We will cover the Halakha importance of Ma'ariv.
The Ma'ariv is the daily night tefillah,The last of three recited daily. The Hebrew word Ma'ariv is derived from the word Erev which means's evening. Ma'ariv is commemorative of the daily burnings of sacrificial left overs incinerated every night in the Beit Ha'Mikdash. Ya'akov who spent time in the night time to contemplate with YHVH, founded this tefillah and taught his descendants to do likewise. The adaptation of the tefillah Ma'ariv is relatively short, requiring ten to fifteen minutes to recite. It consist of the trhee paragraphs of Sh'ma, the Amidah, and Tefillot. Originally only Shacharit and Minchah were mandatory prayers, and Ma'ariv was optional. This is because the main Kipporim was offered by day. Eventually however it became accepted as prayer for every Jew that he must recite tefillah's three times a day, several changes took place after Temple service, adaptations of those Temple services wore created into tefillah's and individual services instead of priestly services until the Temple is built again. The Ma'ariv Aravim is a blessing often recited before the declaration of the Sh'ma during the evening Ma'ariv service, This blessing corresponds to The Yotzer Ha'Me'orot- how YHVH created the world, it's lights and array. The blessing recited before the Shacharit Sh'ma delclaration. An abbreviated version of this Ma'ariv is:

English Tefillah Ma'ariv explanation
Blessed are you YHVH, our El, King of the universe who by his word. Brings on evenings, YHVH living and enduring, Always may he reign over us forever and ever. Blessed are, YHVH who brings on Evenings.
The afternoon service starts with Tehillim 145, Which is otherwise referred to as Ashrei. The service then continues with the Silent Tefillah which is termed as The Sh'mohneh Esrei or Amidah meaning the 18 which is really 19 Benedictions.
The Silent prayer Amidah comes from the root word Amid meaning standing, leading up to Ma'ariv, such prayers in the Ma'ariv or preliminary verses called: Sheer Hahmah Ah'loht. The evening tefillah formally starts with V'hoo Rahchoom and the Bahr'choo which is a public bowing to YHVH. The Sh'ma tefillah is then said and two blessings called :
Hahmah ah'reev ah'rahveem & Ah Hah'vant Oh'lahm and the three paragraphs associated with the closing benedictions Eh'meht (for redemption) and
Hahsh Keevehnoo ( for protection) This is then followed by the silent prayer which is the same tefillah said at the afternoon service excluding the Kahdooshah prayer, which is not said at night. The siddur contains additional tefillah's for the conclusion of Shabbat, counting the Omer ( said between Pesach and Shavuot ( right now!) Tehillim 27 is said from Elul to the 7th day of Succoth,Tehillim 49 said during Shivah period- which are the first 7 days in a house of mourning, Havdallah- separation prayer for the conclusion of Shabbat. The evening prayer service then concludes with Aleinu and The Mourners Kaddish if needed to say.
