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.
1 Divrei Yirmeyah ben Chilkiyah, of the kohanim that were in Anatot in Eretz Binyamin;
2 To whom the Devar Hashem came in the days of Yoshiyah ben Amon Melech Yehudah, in the thirteenth year of his reign [i.e., 627.B.C.E.).
3 And in the days of Y’hoyakim ben Yoshiyah Melech Yehudah, unto the end of the eleventh year of Tzidkiyah ben Yoshiyah Melech Yehudah, that is, until the Golus Yerushalayim captive in the fifth month [i.e., 587 B.C.E.].
4 Then the Devar Hashem came unto me, saying,
5 Before I formed thee in the beten I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the rechem I set thee apart as kodesh, and I ordained thee a navi unto the Goyim.
6 Then said I, Ah, Adonoi Hashem! hinei, I have no da’as to speak; for I am a na’ar.
7 But Hashem said unto me, Say not, Na’ar anochi; for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.
8 Be not afraid of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith Hashem.
9 Then Hashem put forth His yad, and touched my mouth. And Hashem said unto me, Hinei, I put My words in thy mouth.
10 See, I have this yom set thee over the Goyim and over the mamlachot (kingdoms), to uproot, and to tear down, and to destroy, and to demolish, to build, and to plant.
11 For no other yesod other than the one that has been laid can be laid: Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. [YESHAYAH 28:16]
12 Now if anyone builds on the yesod with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble
13 The ma’aseh (work) of each bannai will become evident, for, haYom [Yom haDin] will make it have its hisgalus, because by Eish (Fire) it is revealed; and the Eish (Fire) itself will test the quality of each one’s ma’aseh. [BAMIDBAR 31:22,23; YIRMEYAH 23:28,29; MALACHI 3:3]
14 If anyone’s ma’aseh he built on the yesod will survive (Yn 15:16), a sachar (reward BERESHIS 15:1) he will receive;
15 If anyone’s ma’aseh will be consumed, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved (Ep 2:8-9), yet so as through Eish (fire).
16 Do you not have da’as that you are a Heikhal Hashem and the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem dwells in you?
17 If anyone attempts to cause churban to the Heikhal Hashem, G-d will destroy this man, for the Heikhal Hashem is kadosh, and you (pl.) are that Heikhal.
18 Let no one deceive himself: if anyone presumes to be chacham among you in the Olam Hazeh, let him become a kesil (fool), that he may become chacham. [YESHAYAH 5:21]
19 For the chochmah (wisdom) of Olam Hazeh is narrishkait (foolishness) with Hashem. For it has been written, LOCHED CHACHAMIM BE’ARMAM ("He catches the wise in their own craftiness" IYOV 5:13).
20 And again, HASHEM YODE’A MACHSH’VOT ADAM KI HEMAH HEVEL ("The L-rd knows the thoughts of the wise that they are empty vanity"‖TEHILLIM 94:11).
21 So let no one boast in Bnei Adam, for all things belong to you,
22 Whether Sha’ul or Apollos or Kefa or HaOlam (the world) or Chayyim (Life) or Mavet (Death) or things present or things to come; all things are yours,
23 And you are Moshiach’s and Moshiach is G-d’s.
31 And the Em (Mother) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and his achim come and stand outside and they sent word to him.
32 And a multitude was sitting around him, and they are saying to him, Hinei! Your Em (Mother)! And your achim (brothers)! And your achayot (sisters) are outside looking for you.
33 And in reply to them, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Who is immi? And my achim (brothers)?
34 And having looked around at the ones sitting around him, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Hinei! Immi and my achim!
35 For whoever does the ratzon Hashem, this one is my brother and my sister and mother.
4 And again Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach began to say shiurim (Torah talks) beside the lake. And a huge multitude gathered together to him so that he got into a sirah (boat) on the lake and sat down. The whole multitude was by the lake on the shore.
2 And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was giving them torah with many meshalim (parables) and in the shiurim he said, he was saying to them:
3 Listen. Hinei! The Sower went out to sow (seeds).
4 And it came about that when he went to sow, that some [seeds] fell beside the road. And the birds came and devoured it.
5 And other [seeds] fell upon the rocky places where it did not have much soil, and ofen ort (immediately) it sprang up because it did not have depth of soil.
6 And when the shemesh rose, it was scorched and, because it did not have a shoresh (root), it withered.
7 And other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them, and it did not yield pri.
8 And other seed fell into the adamah tovah (good ground) and it was giving pri (fruit), rising up and growing, thirty, sixty, and one hundredfold.
9 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
