Book of Common Prayer
8 (For the one directing. According to the gittit. Mizmor of Dovid). Hashem Adoneinu, how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha’aretz Who hast set Thy glory above HaShomayim.
2 (3) Out of the mouth of olelim and infants hast Thou established strength because of Thine enemies, that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 (4) When I consider Thy heavens, the ma’asim of Thy fingers, the yarei’ach and the kokhavim, which Thou hast ordained;
4 (5) What is enosh (mankind), that Thou art mindful of him? And the ben adam, that Thou visitest him?
5 (6) For Thou hast made him a little lower than elohim [or Elohim, Gn 1:27], and hast crowned him with kavod and hadar.
6 (7) Thou madest him to have dominion over the ma’asim of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 (8) All sheep and oxen, yea, and the behemot sadeh;
8 (9) The fowl of the air, and the dag (fish) of the yam, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 (10) Hashem Adoneinu, how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha’aretz!
47 (For the one directing. Of the Bnei Korach. A Mizmor.) O clap your hands, all ye nations; shout unto Elohim with the voice of joy.
2 (3) For Hashem Elyon is awesome; He is Melech Gadol over kol ha’aretz.
3 (4) He shall subdue the peoples under us, and the nations under our raglayim.
4 (5) He shall choose nachalateinu for us, the ga’on Ya’akov (pride, glory of Jacob) whom He loves. Selah.
5 (6) Elohim is ascended with a shout of joy, Hashem with the sound of a shofar.
6 (7) Sing praises to Elohim, sing praises; sing praises unto Malkeinu, sing praises.
7 (8) For Melech kol ha’aretz is He; sing ye praises with understanding.
8 (9) Elohim reigneth over the Goyim; Elohim sitteth upon the Kisse Kadsho.
9 (10) The princes of the nations are gathered together, even the Am Elohei Avraham; for the moginei Eretz (shields of the Earth) belong unto Elohim; He is greatly exalted.
24 long, forever). (Mizmor of Dovid) Ha’aretz is Hashem’s, and the fullness thereof; the tevel (world), and they that dwell therein.
2 For He hath founded it upon the yamim (seas), and established it upon the waters.
3 Who shall ascend the Har Hashem? Or who shall stand in His Makom Kodesh?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a bar levav (pure heart); who hath not lifted up his nefesh unto shahv (vanity), nor sworn l’mirmah (deceitfully).
5 He shall receive the brocha (blessing) from Hashem, and tzedakah from Elohei Yisho (the G-d of his Salvation).
6 This is the generation of them that seek Him, that seek Thy face, O Ya’akov. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye she’arim; and be ye lifted up, ye Pitchei Olam (everlasting doorways); and Melech HaKavod shall come in.
8 Who is this Melech HaKavod? Hashem strong and mighty, Hashem Gibbor Milchamah.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye she’arim; even lift them up, ye Pitchei Olam; and Melech HaKavod shall come in.
10 Who is this Melech HaKavod? Hashem Tzva’os, He is Melech HaKavod. Selah.
96 O sing unto Hashem a shir chadash; sing unto Hashem, kol ha’aretz.
2 Sing unto Hashem, barakhu Shmo, show forth His Yeshuah (salvation) from day to day.
3 Declare His kavod among the Goyim, His nifle’ot (marvelous deeds) among all peoples.
4 For Hashem is gadol, and me’od to be praised; He is to be feared above all elohim.
5 For kol elohei HaAmim are elilim (idols); but Hashem made Shomayim.
6 Hod and hadar are before Him; oz and tiferet are in His Mikdash.
7 Render unto Hashem, O ye mishpekhot of the nations, render unto Hashem kavod and oz.
8 Render unto Hashem the kavod due unto Shmo; bring a minchah, and come into His khatzerot (courtyards).
9 O worship Hashem in the hadrat Kodesh; fear before Him, kol ha’aretz.
10 Say among the Goyim that Hashem reigneth; the tevel also is established that it shall not be moved; He shall judge the Amim bemeysharim (in equity, in uprightness).
11 Let Shomayim rejoice, and let ha’aretz be glad; let the yam roar, and the fullness thereof.
12 Let the sadeh be jubilant, and all that is therein; then shall kol atzei ya’ar (all the trees of the forest) sing for joy
13 Before Hashem; for He cometh, for He cometh to judge ha’aretz; He shall judge tevel betzedek (world in righteousness), and Amim with His emunah (truth).
9 I was beholding until kisot (thrones) were placed, and the Atik Yomin (Ancient of Days, i.e., Hashem) did sit, whose raiment was like white snow, and the hair of His rosh like pure wool; His kes (throne) was like the fiery flames, and its wheels like burning eish.
10 A river of eish was flowing and came forth from before Him; thousand thousands ministered unto Him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him; the court sat, and the sfarim (books) were opened.
11 I was beholding from (the time of) the voice of the arrogant words which the keren [Anti-Moshiach] spoke, I was beholding even till the Chayyah (Beast) was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning eish.
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a time and a season.
13 I was beholding in visions of the night, and, hinei, one like a Bar Enosh (Ben Adam, i.e., Moshiach) came with the clouds of Shomayim, and came to the Atik Yomin (Ancient of Days, i.e., Hashem), and before Him He was brought.
14 And there was given Him (Moshiach) dominion, and honor, and sovereignty, that all people, Goyim, tongues, should pey-lammed-chet (see Dan 3:12, serve, reverence as deity Him (Moshiach). His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His (Messianic) Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
5 For Hashem did not subject the Olam Habah, about which we are speaking, to malachim.
6 But someone has given solemn eidus (testimony) somewhere, "MAH ENOSH KI TIZKERENU UVEN ADAM KI TIFKEDENU? ("What is Man that You are mindful of him or the Son of Man that You care for him?
7 “You made him a lttle lower than the angels and you crowned him with glory and splendor and you made him ruler over the works of your hands"
8 KOL SHATAH TACHAT RAGLAV ("Putting everything under his feet" TEHILLIM 8:5-7). Now while Hashem subjected all things to him, he left nothing unsubjected to him, though now we do not yet see all things having been subjected to him.
9 But this is what we do see: Yehoshua, for a short time having been "made lower than the angels," has, because of the yissurim (suffering) of mavet (death), been "crowned with KAVOD V’HADAR" ("glory and splendor" TEHILLIM 8:6) in order that by the Chen v’Chesed Hashem on behalf of all he might taste the histalkus of mavet [Isa 53:8].
10 For it was bekavod (fitting, proper) for him, for whom are all things and through whom are all things, in bringing banim rabbim (many sons) to kavod, to bring to shleimut (perfection, completion) the Rosh (Head) and Mekhonen (Founder) of their Yeshua’at Hashem through yissurim (suffering).
11 For both HaKadosh who makes holy and Kadoshim who are being made holy all have HaAv Echad. It is for this reason Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is not ashamed to call them Achim,
12 Saying, "I will declare your Name to my brothers, within the congregation I will praise you"—TEHILLIM 22:23 [22]).
13 And again, "I put my bitachon in him" [YESHAYAH 12:2] and again "HINEI ANOCHI V’HAYELADIM ASHER NATAN LI HASHEM ("Here I am and the yeladim whom Hashem gave to me.") [YESHAYAH 8:18]
14 Therefore, als (since) the yeladim share in the basar vadahm and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach likewise shared in the same things, that through the histalkus of his mavet he might destroy the one having power over mavet, that is, Hasatan [see Gn ch 3],
15 And he might release these, as many as through eymat haMavet (terror of Death) were subjected to avdut (slavery) all the days of their existence.
16 For surely it was not malachim that concerned him, but the zera Avraham Avinu.
17 And for this reason, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was obliged to become like the Achim b’Moshiach [2:11] in every respect, that he might become a Kohen Gadol rachaman v’ne’eman before Hashem in order to make kapporah for the chatta’im of HaAm. [Isa 53:8; 49:7]
18 For, because Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach himself has endured, being tested in the yissurim (sufferings) of his nefesh [YESHAYAH 53:10,11], he is able to come to the ezrah (aid) of the ones being tested.
16 But the Achad Asar Talmidim proceeded to the Galil, to the mountain which Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had designated.
17 And when they saw him, they prostrated themselves before him, but some were doubtful.
18 And he came up and spoke to them, saying, All samchut (authority) has been given to me in Shomayim and on HaAretz.
19 Go, therefore, make talmidim for Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach of all the nations, giving them a tevilah in a mikveh mayim in Hashem, in the Name of HaAv, and HaBen, and HaRuach Hakodesh,
20 Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And hinei! I [Moshiach] am with you always, even unto the Ketz HaOlam Hazeh.
