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].
44 And he commanded the ish over Bais Yosef, saying, Fill the sacks of the anashim with ochel, as much as they can carry, and put kesef ish in the mouth of his sack.
2 And put my cup, gevi’a hakesef (cup of silver), in the mouth of the sack of the katon, and his kesef for shever (grain). And he did according to the davar Yosef had spoken.
3 As soon as the boker ohr, the anashim were sent away, they and their chamorim.
4 And when they were gone out of the ir, and not yet far off, Yosef said unto the ish over Bais Yosef, Up, follow after the anashim; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded ra’ah for tovah?
5 Is not this it in which adoni drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? Ye have done ra’ah in so doing.
6 And he overtook them, and he spoke unto them these same devarim.
7 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith adoni these words? Chalilah (far be it) that thy avadim should do according to this thing;
8 Hinei, the kesef, which we found in the mouth of our sacks, we brought back unto thee out of Eretz Kena’an; how then should we be ganavim stealing kesef or zahav out of the bais adonecha?
9 With whomsoever of thy avadim it be found, both let him die, and we also will be avadim of adoni.
10 And he said, Now also let it be according unto your devarim; he with whom it is found shall be to me eved; and ye shall be nekiyim (blameless).
11 Then they speedily took down every ish his sack to the ground, and opened every ish his sack.
12 And he searched, and began at the gadol (eldest), and ended at the katon (youngest); and the gevi’a (cup, goblet) was found in the sack of Binyamin.
13 Then they tore their garments, and loaded every ish his chamor, and returned to the ir.
14 And Yehudah and his achim came to Bais Yosef; for he was yet there; and they fell before him on the ground.
15 And Yosef said unto them, What ma’aseh (deed) is this that ye have done? Know ye not that an ish like me can find things out as a menachesh (diviner)?
16 And Yehudah said, What shall we say unto adoni? What shall we speak? Or how hall we clear ourselves? HaElohim hath found out the avon (iniquity) of thy avadim; look at us, we are now avadim la’adoni, both we, and he also with whom the gevi’a (cup) is found.
17 And he [Yosef] said, Chalilah that I should do so; but the ish in whose yad the gevi’a is found, he shall be to me eved; and as for you, go back in shalom unto avichem.
8 Therefore, now there is no gezar din (verdict) of ashem (guilty), no harsha’ah (condemnation as guilty) for those in Moshiach Yehoshua (cf. Ro 5:18).
2 For the Torah of the Ruach HaKodesh that gives Chayyim in Moshiach Yehoshua [YIRMEYAH 31:31-34; YECHEZKEL 36:26-27] has set you free from the Chok of Chet and Mavet.
3 For what the Torah was unable to do in that it was weak through the basar (fallen human nature under Chet Kadmon and without hitkhadshut renewal and regeneration by the Ruach Hakodesh), G-d sent his own Ben HaElohim [Moshiach] in the very demut (likeness) of the basar of sinful humanity and as a chattat (sin offering, sin atoning sacrifice, 2C 5:21) and both pronounced and effected a sentence of death on HaChet baBasar (Sin in the Flesh, in the fallen old humanity)
4 In order that the maleh chukat haTorah (the full statute requirement of the Torah, see VAYIKRA 18:5) might be fulfilled in us whose halakhah is in the Derech [HaChayyim] (the Way of Life) according to the Ruach Hakodesh and not in accordance with the basar.
5 For those who exist in terms of the basar take the side of the basar, whereas those who exist in terms of the Ruach [Hakodesh] take the side of the Ruach Hakodesh.
6 For the way of thinking of the basar is mavet (death), whereas the way of thinking of the Ruach Hakodesh is Chayyim and Shalom.
7 Because the way of thinking of the basar is hostility, eyvah (enmity BERESHIS 3:15) toward G-d, for it does not submit itself to the Torah of G-d; for it cannot.
8 And those who are in the basar are not able to please Hashem.
9 However, you are not in the basar [i.e., unregenerate] but in the Ruach Hakodesh, assuming that the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem does indeed dwell in you—if anyone does not have the Ruach HaMoshiach, that person does not belong to Moshiach.
10 And if Moshiach is in you, the body (of the basar) is dead because of sin [5:12] but the Ruach [Hakodesh] is life for you because of Tzedek (righteousness [cf. Ro 5:18].
25 Omein, omein, I say to you, that a sha’ah (hour) is coming and now is, when the Mesim (dead ones) will hear the kol (voice) of the Ben HaElohim and the ones having heard will live.
26 For just as HaAv has Chayyim (Life) in himself [DEVARIM 30:20; IYOV 10:12; 33:4; TEHILLIM 36:10 (9)], so also HaBen He gave to have Chayyim (Life) in himself.
27 And samchut (authority) He gave to him to make mishpat (judgment) because he is the Ben HaAdam [DANIEL 7:13-14].
28 Do not marvel at this. For a sha’ah (hour, time) is coming in which all the ones in the kevarim (graves) will hear the kol of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, [YESHAYAH 26:19; YECHEZKEL 37:12]
29 And will come out, the ones having practiced HaTov to a Techiyas HaMesim of Chayyim (Life), the ones having practiced HaRah to a Techiyas HaMesim of Mishpat (Judgment). [DANIEL 12:2]
