Book of Common Prayer
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.
29 (Mizmor of Dovid) Ascribe unto Hashem, O ye bnei elim (sons of the mighty), ascribe unto Hashem kavod and oz (strength).
2 Ascribe unto Hashem the Kavod Shmo; worship Hashem in the Hadrat Kodesh (beauty of holiness).
3 The voice of Hashem is upon the waters; El HaKavod thundereth; Hashem is over the mayim rabbim.
4 The voice of Hashem is in Ko’ach; the voice of Hashem is in hadar (majesty).
5 The voice of Hashem breaketh the cedars; Hashem breaketh the cedars of the Levanon.
6 He maketh them also to skip like an egel (calf); Levanon and Siryon, like a young reimim (wild ox).
7 The voice of Hashem hews out with flashes of eish.
8 The voice of Hashem shaketh the midbar; Hashem shaketh the Midbar Kadesh.
9 The voice of Hashem causes the deer to calve, and strips bare the ye’arot (forests); and in His Heikhal doth everyone say, Kavod!
10 Hashem sitteth upon the mabbul (flood); yea, Hashem sitteth enthroned as Melech l’olam.
11 Hashem will give oz (strength) unto His people; Hashem will bless His people with shalom.
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!
84 (For the one directing. On the gittit. Mizmor for the Bnei Korach). How yedidot (lovely) are thy mishkanot, O Hashem Tzva’os!
2 (3) My nefesh longeth, yea, even fainteth for the khatzrot Hashem (courts of Hashem); my lev and my basar crieth out for El Chai.
3 (4) Yea, the sparrow hath found a bais, and the swallow a ken (nest) for herself, where she may lay her young, even Thine mizbechot, O Hashem Tzva’os Malki v’Elohai.
4 (5) Ashrei are they that dwell in Thy Beis [Hamikdash]; they are ever praising Thee. Selah.
5 (6) Ashrei is the adam whose oz (strength) is in Thee; in whose lev are their highways [to Tziyon; see verse 7(8)].
6 (7) Who passing through the valley of Baca (weeping) make it a ma’ayon (spring, fountain); the moreh (early rain) also covereth it with berakhot (blessings).
7 (8) They go from strength to strength, every one of them who appeareth before Elohim in Tziyon.
8 (9) O Hashem Elohim Tzva’os, hear my tefillah; give ear, O Elohei Ya’akov. Selah.
9 (10) Behold mogineinu (our shield), O Elohim, and look upon the face of Thine Moshiach.
10 (11) For a yom in Thy khatzrot is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the Beis Elohai, than to dwell in the ohalim resha (tents of wickedness).
11 (12) For Hashem Elohim is a shemesh and a mogen; Hashem will give chen and kavod; no good thing will He withhold from the holekhim b’tamim (them that walk uprightly).
12 (13) O Hashem Tzva’os, ashrei is the adam bote’ach (man that trusteth, hath confident faith) in Thee.
42 Here is Avdi [Moshiach, see Zech 3:8; Isa 52:13], whom I uphold; Mine Bachir (Elect One, Chosen One), in whom My nefesh delighteth; I have put My Ruach [Hakodesh] upon Him; He [Moshiach] shall bring forth mishpat to the Goyim.
2 He [Moshiach] shall not cry out, nor lift up His kol (voice), nor cause it to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall He [Moshiach] not break, and a smoking wick shall He not quench; He shall bring forth mishpat according to emes.
4 He [Moshiach] shall not fail nor be discouraged, till He establish mishpat ba’aretz; and the iyim shall wait for His (Moshiach’s) torah [1C 9:21].
5 Thus saith HaEl Hashem, Boreh HaShomayim, and the One stretching them out; He that spread out ha’aretz, and that which cometh out of it as produce; He that giveth neshamah (soul) unto HaAm upon it, and ruach to them that walk thereon [See 1Th 5:23 OJBC]:
6 I Hashem have called Thee in tzedek, and will take hold of Thine yad, and will keep Thee, and give Thee [Moshiach] for a Brit (Covenant, Mt 26:28) of the Am (People), for an Ohr Goyim;
7 To open the einayim ivrot (blind eyes), to bring out the captives from confinement, and them that sit in choshech out of the bais keleh (dungeon, prison).
8 I am Hashem; that is Shmi; and My kavod will I not give to another, neither My tehillah (praise) to pesilim.
9 Hinei, the rishonot (former things) are come to pass, and chadashot (new things) do I declare; before titzmachnah (they spring forth; Tzemach) I tell you of them.
10 Sing unto Hashem a shir chadesh (new song), and His tehillah from the ketzeh ha’aretz, ye that go down to the yam, and all that is therein. You iyim (islands), and the inhabitants thereof.
11 Let the midbar and the towns thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the rosh harim.
12 Let them give kavod unto Hashem, and declare His tehillah in the iyim.
10 For the rest, be continually empowered in the ko’ach of Hashem and in the oz of His gevurah. [TEHILLIM 27:14]
11 Put on the whole armor of Hashem for you to be able to stand against the nechalim (scheming deceitfulness, wiles, evil plots) of Hasatan.
12 Because we are not wrestling against basar vadahm (flesh and blood), but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of the choshech of the Olam Hazeh, against the kokhot ruchaniyim ra’im (evil spiritual forces) in Shomayim.
13 Therefore, take up the whole armor of Hashem, that you may be able to withstand in the Yom HaRah and, having done all, to stand.
14 Stand, therefore, having girded your waist with HaEmes and having put on the breastplate of Tzedek, [YESHAYAH 11:5; TEHILLIM 132:9; YESHAYAH 59:17]
15 And having put as shoes on your feet that which makes you ready to be a maggid of the Besuras HaGeulah. [YESHAYAH 52:7]
16 With all these things, take up the shield of emunah, by which you will be able to quench all the flaming darts of haRah (the Evil one);
17 And take the helmet of yeshu’ah and the cherev of the Ruach Hakodesh, which is the Dvar Hashem. [YESHAYAH 59:17; 49:2]
18 Daven in the Ruach Hakodesh always with all tefillos and techinnah (supplication). To that end keep shomer and always persevere in techinnah (supplication) for the Kadoshim;
19 And for me also, that to me may be given utterance in opening my mouth in boldness to make known the Sod HaBesuras HaGeulah,
20 On behalf of which I am an emissary in chains, that in it I may be bold as it is necessary for me to speak.
16 For Hashem so had ahavah (agape) for the Olam Hazeh that Hashem gave the matanah (gift) [Isa 9:5 (6)] of Hashem’s Ben Yechid [Gn 22:12; Prov 30:4; 8:30} so that whosoever has emunah in him may not be ne’evad (lost, perish, be ruined with destruction), but find Chayyei Olam [Daniel 12:2].
17 For Hashem did not send the Ben HaElohim into the Olam Hazeh that he might judge the Olam Hazeh, but that the Olam Hazeh might be brought to the Geulah (Redemption) of the Olam Haba through him (Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach). [YESHAYAH 53:11]
18 The one of emunah who is mekabel Moshiach (accepting the person of the Ben HaAdam, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach) is not judged; but the one without emunah who is not mekabel Moshiach, already has been judged and given the psak din (verdict) of "condemned," because he has no emunah in the Shem of the Ben Yachid of Hashem.
19 And this is the psak din, that the Ohr has come into the Olam Hazeh, and Bnei Adam had ahavah for the choshech rather than for the Ohr, for their ma’asim were ra’im (evil). [TEHILLIM 52:3]
20 For everyone walking in the derech resha’im has sin’as chinom (baseless hatred) for the Ohr and does not come to the Ohr, lest his ma’asim be exposed. [Ps l:6; Job 24:13-17]
21 But the one doing HaEmes comes to the Ohr that his ma’asim hamitzot may be manifested, that they have been wrought in Hashem.
