Book of Common Prayer
20 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid) Hashem hear thee in the Yom Tzarah (day of trouble); the Shem Elohei Ya’akov set thee up on high [i.e., out of reach of your enemies];
2 Send thee help from the Kodesh (Holy Sanctuary), and strengthen thee out of Tziyon;
3 Remember all thy minchot, and accept thy olat; Selah.
4 Grant thee according to thine own levav, and fulfil kol etzah (plan, counsel) of thine.
5 We will shout for joy at thy Yeshuah (salvation), and in the Shem of Eloheinu we will lift up our banners; Hashem grant all thy requests.
6 Now I have da’as that Hashem hoshi’a (He saves) His Moshiach; He will answer him from His Sh’mei Kodesh (Holy Heaven) with the saving strength of His right hand.
7 Some trust in chariots, and some susim: but we will trust in the Shem Hashem Eloheinu.
8 They are brought down and fallen, but we are risen up, and stand firm.
9 Hoshi’ah, Hashem, HaMelech! May He hear us on the day when we call.
21 (For the one directing. Mizmor Dovid) Melech shall have simcha in Thy strength, Hashem; and in Thy Yeshuah (salvation) how greatly shall he rejoice!
2 (3) Thou hast given him the desire of his lev, and hast not withheld the request of his lips. Selah.
3 (4) For Thou meeteth him with the birkhot tov; Thou settest an ateret of pure gold on his head.
4 (5) He asked Chayyim of Thee, and Thou gavest it him, even length of yamim olam va’ed [see 1C 15:4; Ps 16:10];
5 (6) Gadol is his kavod in Thy Yeshuah (salvation); hod v’hadar hast Thou bestowed upon him.
6 (7) For Thou hast made him birkhot forever; Thou hast made him exceeding glad with simcha in Thy presence.
7 (8) For HaMelech trusteth in Hashem, and through the chesed of Elyon he shall not be moved.
8 (9) Thine yad shall find out all thine enemies; thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee.
9 (10) Thou shalt make them like an oven of eish in the time of thine presence; Hashem shall swallow them up in His wrath, and the eish shall devour them.
10 (11) Their fruit shalt Thou destroy from ha’aretz, and their zera from among Bnei Adam.
11 (12) For they intended ra’ah against Thee; they devised a plot, which they are not able to perform.
12 (13) Ki (therefore) shalt Thou make them turn their backs, when Thou shalt aim Thine bowstrings at their faces.
13 (14) Be Thou exalted, Hashem, in Thine Own Strength; so will we sing and praise Thy gevurah (power).
110 (Of Dovid. Mizmor). Hashem said unto Adoni [i.e., Moshiach Adoneinu; Malachi 3:1], Sit thou at My right hand, until I make thine enemies a footstool for thy feet.
2 (3) Hashem shall stretch forth the rod of thy might out of Tziyon; rule thou in the midst of thine [Moshiach’s] enemies [i.e., anti-Moshiachs].
3 (4) Thy [Moshiach’s Messianic] people, willing in the Day of thy [Moshiach’s called up] Army, will be arrayed in the splendor of kodesh (holiness); from the womb of the dawn, cometh to thee [Moshiach] thy young men [cf Isa 53:10] as the tal (dew) [Rv 19:14].
4 (5) Hashem hath sworn, and will not relent, Thou [Moshiach] art a kohen l’olam al divrati Malki-Tzedek (kohen forever in respect to the order of Malki-Tzedek; [see Bereshis 14:18; note it is the kohen who makes kapporah for sin—see Leviticus 4:20; Isa 53:8).
5 (6) Adonoi at thy right hand shall dash melachim (kings) in pieces in the Yom Afo (Day of His Wrath).
6 (7) He [Adonoi acting through Moshiach] shall judge among the Goyim, He shall heap up geviyyot (corpses); He shall dash in pieces Rosh (Head; Gn 3:15] al Eretz Rabbah (over Great, Whole Earth, cf 2Th 2:8).
7 Of the brook in the Derech shall he [Moshiach] drink; therefore shall he lift up [as victor] the Rosh [Moshiach’s head; PP 2:8-10; Ep 4:15].
116 I love Hashem, because He hath heard my kol (voice), even my techinnah.
2 Because He hath inclined His ozen (ear) unto me, therefore will I call upon Him while I have days.
3 Chevlei mavet (pangs of death) encompassed me, and the metzarei She’ol (confines, straitnesses of She’ol) have caught up with me and found me; tzoros and yagon (sorrow) I found.
4 Then called I b’Shem Hashem: O Hashem, save my nefesh!
5 Channun (gracious) is Hashem, and tzaddik; yes, Eloheinu is merciful.
6 Hashem is shomer over the petayim (simple-hearted, helpless); I was in need and li yehoshia (me He saved).
7 Return, my nefesh, to thy menuchah (rest, resting place); for Hashem hath dealt bountifully with thee.
8 For Thou hast saved my nefesh from mavet (death), mine eye from dimah (tears), and mine regel (foot) from stumbling.
9 I will walk before Hashem in the Artzot HaChayim (the Land of the Living). [T.N. Note that I can do that because Moshiach was cut off from there in my place and for my sins—Isa 53:8]
10 He’emaneti (I believed); therefore have I spoken; I was greatly afflicted.
11 I said in my chafaz (haste, alarm, consternation), Kol HaAdam Kozev (all men are liars).
12 How shall I repay Hashem for all His benefits to me?
13 I will raise the Kos Yeshu’ot (the Cup of Salvation), and call upon Hashem b’Shem (by Name).
14 I will fulfill my nederim (vows) now in the presence of all His people.
15 Precious in the eyes of Hashem is the mavet of His Chasidim.
16 O Hashem, truly I am Thy eved; I am Thy eved, ben amatecha (the son of Thy maid servant); Thou hast removed my chains.
17 I will sacrifice to Thee the zevach todah (the thanksgiving offering) and will call on the Shem Hashem.
18 I will fulfill my nederim to Hashem now in the presence of all His people.
19 In the khatzerot Beis Hashem, in the midst of thee, O Yerushalayim. Praise ye Hashem.
117 O praise Hashem, all ye Goyim; praise Him, all ye peoples.
2 For His chesed is mighty toward us; and the Emes Hashem endureth l’olam (forever). Praise ye Hashem.
34 And Moshe went up from the plains of Moav unto Mt Nevo to the top of Pisgah, that is, over against Yericho. And Hashem showed him all Eretz Gil`ad, unto Dan,
2 And all Naphtali, and Eretz Ephrayim, and Menasheh, and all Eretz Yehudah, unto the Western [Mediterranean] Sea,
3 And the Negev, and the plain of the valley of Yericho, the Ir Hatemarim (City of Date Palms), unto Tzoar.
4 And Hashem said unto him, This is HaAretz which I swore unto Avraham, unto Yitzchak, and unto Ya’akov, saying, I will give it unto thy zera; I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
5 So Moshe Eved Hashem died there in Eretz Moav, as Hashem had said.
6 And He buried him in a valley in Eretz Moav, over against Beit Peor; but no man knoweth of his kever unto this yom. [See Yeshayah 53:9 on Moshiach’s kever.]
7 And Moshe was me’ah v’esrim shanah when he died; his eyesight was not weakened, nor his natural force reduced.
8 And the Bnei Yisroel wept for Moshe in the plains of Moav shloshim yom; then the yamim of weeping and mourning for Moshe were ended.
9 And Yehoshua ben Nun was full of the ruach chochmah; for Moshe had laid his hands upon him; and the Bnei Yisroel were heedful unto him, and did as Hashem commanded Moshe.
10 And there arose not a navi since in Yisroel like unto Moshe, whom Hashem knew panim el panim (face to face),
11 In all the otot and the mofetim, which Hashem sent him to do in Eretz Mitzrayim to Pharaoh, and to all his avadim, and to all his land,
12 And in all that yad hachazakah, and in all the morah hagadol (great terror) which Moshe did in the sight of kol Yisroel.
14 How therefore shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without someone doing the hatafah (preaching)?
15 And how shall they do the hatafah (preaching) unless they have been sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who preach" Besuras HaGeulah YESHAYAH 52:7.
16 But not all have mishma’at (obedience) to the Besuras HaGeulah. For Yeshayah says (YESHAYAH 53:1): MI HE’EMIN LISHMU’ATEINU ("Who has believed that which is heard, our report?" [cf. DEVARIM 9:4]
17 So, then, emunah comes from hearing, and hearing comes through the Dvar HaMoshiach.
18 But I say, is it the case that they have not heard? On the contrary: "Their sound has gone out into all the earth and their words to the ends of the inhabited world" TEHILLIM 19:4.
19 But I say, is it the case that Yisroel has not known? First, Moshe Rabbeinu says: "I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation; by a senseless nation I will make you angry." DEVARIM 32:21.
20 And Yeshayeh HaNavi is bold as to say: "I have been found by those who do not seek Me; I have revealed Myself to those who do not ask for Me"[YESHAYAH 65:1].
21 But concerning Yisroel he says: "All the day I stretched out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people" YESHAYAH 65:2.
32 And from the etz teenah (fig tree), learn its parabolic lesson: when its branch has become tender already and sprouts leaves, you know that Kayitz (Summer) is near;
33 thus also you, when you see all these things, know that it is near, at the very doors.
34 Omein, I say to you, that this dor (generation) will by no means pass away until all these things come about.
35 Shomayim vHaAretz will pass away, but my Dvar will by no means pass away.
36 But concerning that day and hour, no one has daas, not the malachim of Shomayim, but only HaAv (the Father) of me.
37 For as in the days of Noach, thus will be the Bias HaMoshiach, the Coming of the Ben HaAdam.
38 For as they were in those days before HaMabbul (the Flood), eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noach entered the Tevah,
39 and they did not have daas until HaMabbul came and took away everything‖thus also will be the Bias HaMoshiach, the Coming of the Ben HaAdam.
40 Then two men will be in the field, one is snatched away, and one is left behind (not retained).
41 Two women are grinding in the mill house, one is snatched away, one is left behind.
42 So be shomer, be on your guard, because you do not have daas on which day will be the Bias of [Moshiach] Adoneichem (your L-rd).
43 But understand this: if the Baal Bayit had known in which watch the ganav is coming, he would have stayed awake and would not have allowed his bais to be dug through.
44 For this reason also you be shomer, for in the hour when you do not think, then will be the Bias HaMoshiach (the Coming of the Ben HaAdam, DANIEL 7:13).
45 Who then is the faithful and wise eved (servant), whom the Adon appointed over the household servants to give the other servants their okhel at the prescribed time?
46 Ashrey (happy) is that eved whom, when his Adon comes, finds him so doing.
47 Omein, I say to you, the Adon will ordain him to oversee all his possessions.
48 But if that wicked slave says in his heart, Adoni (My Master) is dragging his feet,
49 and that slave begins to beat his fellow avadim (slaves), and he eats and drinks with the ones getting drunk,
50 the Adon of that slave will come on a day which he does not expect and at an hour of which he does not have daas.
51 And the Adon will cut in two that slave, and the slave’s portion he will put with the tzevuim (hypocrites). There will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
