Book of Common Prayer
97 Hashem reigneth; let ha’aretz rejoice; let the multitude of isles thereof be glad.
2 Anan and darkness are round about Him; tzedek and mishpat are the foundation of His kisse.
3 Eish goeth before Him, and burneth up His enemies on every side.
4 His lightnings light up the tevel; ha’aretz saw, and trembled.
5 The harim melted like wax at the presence of Hashem, at the presence of Adon kol HaAretz.
6 HaShomayim declare His tzedek, and kol ha’amim see His kavod.
7 Shamed be all they that serve pesel, that boast themselves of elilim; worship Him, kol elohim.
8 Tziyon heard, and was glad; and the banot Yehudah rejoiced because of Thy mishpatim, Hashem.
9 For Thou, Hashem, art Elyon above kol ha’aretz; Thou art exalted far above kol elohim.
10 Ye that love Hashem, hate rah; He preserveth the nefashot of His chasidim; He delivereth them out of the yad resha’im.
11 Ohr dawns for the tzaddik, and simchah for the yishrei lev (upright in heart).
12 Rejoice in Hashem, ye tzaddikim; and give thanks at the remembrance of His kodesh (holiness).
99 Hashem reigneth; let the nations tremble; He sitteth between the keruvim; let ha’aretz be shaken.
2 Hashem is great in Tziyon; and He is high above all the nations.
3 Let them praise Thy Shem gadol v’nora; for it is kadosh.
4 The Mighty King also loveth mishpat; Thou dost establish equity, Thou executest mishpat and tzedakah in Ya’akov.
5 Exalt ye Hashem Eloheinu, and worship at His footstool; for He is kadosh.
6 Moshe and Aharon among His kohanim, and Shmuel among them that call upon Shmo; they called upon Hashem, and He answered them.
7 He spoke unto them in the ammud anan (pillar of cloud); they were shomer over His statutes, and the chok (ordinance) that He gave them.
8 Thou answeredst them, Hashem Eloheinu; Thou wast El (G-d) that forgavest them, though Thou tookest vengeance of their misdeeds.
9 Exalt Hashem Eloheinu, and worship at His Har Kodesh; for Hashem Eloheinu is kadosh.
100 (Mizmor l’todah) Make a joyful shout unto Hashem, all ye lands.
2 Serve Hashem with simchah; come before His presence with joyful singing.
3 Know ye that Hashem He is Elohim; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves, His people, the tzon of His pasture.
4 Enter into His she’arim (gates) with todah, and into His khatzerot (courts) with tehillah; be thankful unto Him, and bless Shmo.
5 For Hashem is good; His chesed is l’olam; and His emunah (faithfulness) endureth dor vador.
94 Hashem G-d, to whom vengeance belongeth; O G-d, to whom vengeance belongeth, show Thyself.
2 Rise up, Thou Shofet HaAretz; render gemul (recompense, desert) to the ge’im (proud ones).
3 Ad mosai, Hashem, shall the resha’im, how long shall the resha’im triumph?
4 How long shall they utter and speak malicious lies? And all the po’alei aven (workers of iniquity) glorify themselves?
5 They crush Thy people, Hashem, and afflict Thine nachalah.
6 They slay the almanah and the ger, and murder the yetomim (fatherless, orphans).
7 Yet they say, Hashem shall not see, neither shall the Elohei Ya’akov regard it.
8 Understand, ye brutish among the people; and ye kesilim (fools), when will ye get seichel?
9 He that planted the ozen (ear), shall He not hear? He that formed the ayin (eye), shall He not see?
10 He that chastiseth the Goyim, shall not He reprove? He that is the melamed (teacher) of da’as to adam?
11 Hashem knoweth the machshevot (thoughts) of adam, that they are hevel (vanity, futile).
12 Ashrei (blessed) is the gever whom Thou chastenest, Hashem, and teachest him out of Thy torah;
13 That Thou mayest grant him relief from the days of rah, until a shachat (pit) is dug for the rasha.
14 For Hashem will not cast off His people, neither will He forsake His nachalah.
15 But mishpat shall revert unto tzedek; and all the yishrei lev (upright in heart) shall follow after it.
16 Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers? Or who will take a stand for Me against the po’alei aven (workers of iniquity)?
17 Unless Hashem had been my help, my nefesh had almost dwelt in dumah (silence).
18 When I said, My regel (foot) slippeth, Thy chesed, Hashem, held me up.
19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me Thy comforts delight my nefesh.
20 Shall the kisse of corruption have chavurah (fellowship) with Thee, those, which deviseth evil by a chok (statute)?
21 They band together against the nefesh of the tzaddik, and condemn dahm naki (innocent blood).
22 But Hashem is my stronghold; and Elohai is the Tzur of my refuge.
23 And He shall turn back upon them their own iniquity, and shall destroy them for their own wickedness; Hashem Eloheinu shall destroy them.
95 O come, let us sing unto Hashem; let us make a joyful noise to the Tzur of our salvation.
2 Let us come before His presence with todah, and extol Him with zemirot (joyful songs).
3 For Hashem is El Gadol, and Melech Gadol above kol elohim (g-ds).
4 In His yad are the deep places of ha’aretz; the peaks of the harim are His also.
5 The yam is His, and He made it; and His hands formed the yabashah (dry land).
6 O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before Hashem Oseinu (our Maker).
7 For He is Eloheinu; and we are the people of His pasture, and the tzon of His yad. Today if ye will hear His voice,
8 Harden not your lev, as in Merivah, and as in the Yom Massah in the midbar;
9 When your avot tested Me, tried Me, and saw My work.
10 Arba’im shanah was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do stray in their lev, and they have no da’as of My ways;
11 Unto whom I swore an oath in My wrath that they should not enter into My menuchah.
21 And I saw Shomayim Chadashim (New Heavens) and Eretz Chadasha (a New Earth), for the shomayim harishonah (the first heaven) and haaretz harishonah (the first earth) were passed away, and there is no longer any Yam (Sea).
2 And I saw the Ir Hakodesh, the Yerushalayim HaChadasha coming down and descending out of Shomayim from Hashem, having been made ready as a Kallah adorned for her Ba’al (Husband). [NECHEMYAH 11:18; YESHAYAH 52:1]
3 And I heard a kol gadol (loud voice), a Bat Kol from the Kisse (Throne) saying, "Hinei, The Mishkan of Hashem is with men, and He shall tabernacle with them, and they shall be His people, and Hashem Himself shall dwell among them. [SHEMOT 25:8; DIVREY HAYAMIM BAIS 6:18; YECHEZKEL 48:35; ZECHARYAH 2:10]
4 “And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there shall not be any longer Mavet, nor Avelut nor weeping nor pain; the former things have passed away.” [YESHAYAH 25:8; 35:10]
5 And said the One sitting on the Kisse (Throne), "Hinei, I make all things chadash." And He says, “Write, for these dvarim are ne’emanim and amittiyim.”
6 And He said to me, "It is finished! I am the Alef and the Tav, the Reshit and the Ketz. To the one thirsting I will give of the Ma’ayan (Fountain) of Mayim Chayyim (Water of Life) freely. [YESHAYAH 55:1]
7 “The one who wins the nitzachon (victory), shall inherit these things and I will be his G-d and he will be to Me beni (my son). [SHMUEL BAIS 7:14]
8 “But for those of morech lev (cowardliness) and those without emunah (faith) and the ones having become vile and ratzchaniyot (murderers) and zonim (fornicators) and mekhashfim (sorcerers) and ovdei haelilim (idolaters) and all the shakranit (liars), their chelek [see Yn 13:8] will be in the Agam (Lake) burning with Eish (fire) and Gofrit (sulfur), which is HaMavet HaSheyni (the Second Death).” [TEHILLIM 5:6; YESHAYAH 66:24]
14 And when they came to the multitude, a man came up to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, falling down before him.
15 And the man said, Adoni, grant rachamim (mercy) on this ben (son) of mine, for he is an epileptic, and suffers horribly; for often he falls into the eish, and often into the mayim.
16 And I brought him to your talmidim, and they could not give him refuah.
17 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said in reply, O perverted generation without emunah, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to me.
18 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach rebuked it, and the shed came out of him, and the bocher received his refuah that hour.
19 Then the talmidim came to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in a yechidus (private meeting with the Rebbe), and said, Why were we not able to cast it out?
20 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, On account of your little emunah, for, omein, I say to you, if you have emunah as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, Move from here, and it shall be moved; and nothing shall be impossible for you.
21 But this kind [i.e., kind of mazikim (malicious spirits)] do not come out except by tefillah and tzom.
