Book of Common Prayer
93 Hashem reigneth, He is robed with majesty; Hashem is clothed with strength, wherewith He hath girded Himself; the tevel (world) also is established, that it cannot be moved.
2 Thy kisse is established of old; Thou art me’olam (from everlasting).
3 The floods have lifted up, Hashem, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
4 Hashem on high is mightier than the noise of mayim rabbim, yea, than the mighty waves of the yam.
5 Thy testimonies are very sure; Kodesh becometh Thine Beis, Hashem, forever.
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).
34 (Of Dovid, when he feigned insanity before Avimelech, who drove him away, and he went out) 1 (2) I will make a bracha of praise unto Hashem at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 (3) My nefesh shall make its boast in Hashem; the anavim (humble) shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 (4) O magnify Hashem with me, and let us exalt Shmo together.
4 (5) I sought Hashem, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 (6) They looked unto Him, and were radiant; and their panim were not ashamed.
6 (7) The oni (poor man) cried, and Hashem heard him, and saved him out of all his tzoros.
7 (8) The Malach Hashem encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.
8 (9) O taste and see that Hashem is tov; ashrei is the man that taketh refuge in Him.
9 (10) O fear Hashem, ye His Kedoshim; for there is no lack to them that fear Him.
10 (11) The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek Hashem shall not lack any good thing.
11 (12) Come, ye banim, pay heed unto me; I will teach you the fear of Hashem.
12 (13) What ish is he that desireth chayyim, and loveth many days, that he may see tov?
13 (14) Keep thy tongue from rah, and thy lips from speaking mirmah (guile, see Isaiah 53:9 where it says Moshiach will lack mirmah).
14 (15) Depart from rah, and do tov; seek shalom, and pursue it.
15 (16) The eyes of Hashem are upon the tzaddikim, and His ears open to their cry.
16 (17) The face of Hashem is against them that do rah, to cut off the zekher (remembrance) of them from ha’aretz.
17 (18) The tzaddikim cry, and Hashem heareth, and delivereth them out of all their tzoros.
18 (19) Hashem is near unto them whose lev is broken; and saveth such whose ruach is contrite.
19 (20) Many are the afflictions of the tzaddik; but Hashem delivereth him out of them all.
20 (21) He keepeth shomer over all his bones; not one of them is broken [Yn 19:36].
21 (22) Evil shall slay the resha’im; and they that hate the tzaddik shall be desolate.
22 (23) Hashem redeemeth the nefesh of His avadim; and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be condemned [see Ro 5:1; 8:1 OJBC].
50 Then Lavan and Beituel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from Hashem; we cannot speak unto thee rah or tov.
51 Hinei, Rivkah is before thee, take her, and go, and let her be isha for ben adonecha, just as Hashem hath spoken.
52 And it came to pass, that, when eved Avraham heard their words, he worshiped Hashem, bowing himself to the ground.
53 And the eved brought forth kelei kesef, and kelei zahav, and begadim, and gave them to Rivkah; he gave also to her ach and to her em migdanot (costly gifts).
54 And they did eat and drink, he and the anashim that were with him, and tarried all night; and they rose up in the boker, and he said, Send me away unto adoni.
55 And her ach and her em said, Let the na’arah abide with us ten days or so; after that she shall go.
56 And he said unto them, Hinder me not, seeing Hashem hath prospered my derech; send me away that I may go to adoni.
57 And they said, We will call the na’arah, and inquire at her mouth.
58 And they called Rivkah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this ish? And she said, I will go.
59 And they sent away Rivkah their achot, and her nurse, and eved Avraham, and his anashim.
60 And they said a brocha over Rivkah, and said unto her, Thou art achoteinu, may thou be increased to thousands upon thousands and may thy zera possess the sha’ar of those which hate them.
61 And Rivkah arose, and her na’arot, and they rode upon the gemalim, and followed the ish: and the eved took Rivkah, and went his way.
62 And Yitzchak had come from Be’er Lachi Roi; for he dwelt in the eretz hanegev.
63 And Yitzchak went out to meditate in the sadeh at erev: and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, hinei, the gemalim (camels) were coming.
64 And Rivkah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Yitzchak, she got down from the gamal.
65 For she had said unto the eved, Who is that ish that walketh in the sadeh to meet us? And the eved had said, He is adoni: therefore she took a veil, and covered herself.
66 And the eved told Yitzchak all things that he had done.
67 And Yitzchak brought her into the ohel of Sarah immo, and took Rivkah, and she became his isha; and he loved her: and Yitzchak was comforted after the [mot] immo.
14 Remind them of these things, solemnly warning them in the presence of Hashem not to be engaged in disputes over devarim, which is not beneficial, but only ruins the hearers.
15 Do your best to shtel zich (apply yourself), to present yourself to Hashem as one approved, a po’el (workman) without bushah (shame), keeping on a derech yashar the Dvar HaEmes.
16 But profane chatter bereft of kedushah, avoid, for such will advance that which is frai (irreligious).
17 Their lashon hora will spread like gangrene, as in the case of Hymenaeus and Philetus,
18 Who concerning HaEmes missed the mark, teaching that the Techiyas HaMesim has already occurred. They are overthrowing the emunah of some.
19 Al kol panim (nevertheless), the solid yesod of Hashem stands firm and zicher (certain), having this seal: V’YODA’ Hashem ES ASHER LO ("Hashem KNOWS THE ONES WHO ARE HIS" BAMIDBAR 16:5); and let everyone who names the name of Hashem depart from avel (iniquity, gross injustice).
20 In a bais gadol, there are not only k’lei (vessels) of gold and silver but also those wooden ones and earthen ones: some, for honorable use; others, for dishonorable use.
21 If anyone makes himself tahor from these things he will be a k’li vessel for honorable use, having been set aside as kodesh, useful to HaAdon, ready for every ma’aseh tov.
13 And they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach yeladim that he might lay his hands on them. But the talmidim rebuked them.
14 And having seen this, he became displeased and indignant, and said to his talmidim, Permit the yeladim to come to me, and do not hinder them, for of such as these is the Malchut Hashem.
15 Omein, I say to you, Whoever is not mekabel Malchut Hashem (receives the Kingdom of G-d) as a yeled would be mekabel Malchut Hashem, will by no means enter it.
16 And having taken the yeladim into his arms, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach laid his hands on them and made a bracha over them.
17 And as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was setting out to travel, one running and falling down before him, was asking him, Rabbi haTov, what mitzvah may I do that I might inherit Chayyei Olam?
18 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Why do you call me tov? No one [is] tov except echad, Elohim, nu?
19 You have daas of the mitzvot, the Aseres HaDibros (The Decalogue), LO TIRTZACH, LO TINAF, LO TIGNOV, LO TAANEH VREIACHA ED SHAKER, KABEID ES AVICHA VES IMMECHAH (Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not bear false witness (do not defraud), honor your father and mother.) [SHEMOT 20:12-16; DEVARIM 5:16-20]
20 And the man was saying to him, Rabbi, from kinderyoren I have been frum and shomer mitzvot, keeping all these things.
21 And looking at him and having ahavah for his neshamah, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, One thing you lack: go and sell all your possessions and give to the aniyim, and you will have otzar (treasure) in Shomayim; and come, follow me.
22 But at the dvar HaMoshiach, his face turned gloomy and he departed with agmat nefesh (grief), for he had many possessions.
