Book of Common Prayer
38 (Mizmor Dovid. For the memorial portion of the mincha) Hashem, rebuke me not in Thy wrath; neither chasten me in Thy hot displeasure.
2 (3) For Thine khitzim (arrows) pierce me, and Thy Yad presseth upon me.
3 (4) There is no health in my basar because of Thine anger; neither is there any shalom in my atzmot because of my chattat.
4 (5) For mine avonot (iniquities) are gone over mine head; as a weighty massa (burden) they are too heavy for me.
5 (6) My chaburot (wounds) are foul and festering because of my wicked folly.
6 (7) I am bent down; I am brought low ad me’od; I go about mourning all day long.
7 (8) For my loins are filled with burning; and there is no health in my basar.
8 (9) I am feeble and broken ad me’od; I have groaned by reason of the disquietness of my lev.
9 (10) Adonoi, all my ta’avah (desire, longing) is before Thee; and my groaning is not hid from Thee.
10 (11) My lev panteth, my ko’ach faileth me; as for the ohr of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 (12) My loved ones and my re’a stand aloof from my nega [see Isa 53:8 on Moshiach’s nega]; and my neighbors stand afar off.
12 (13) They also that seek after my nefesh lay snares for me; and they that seek my hurt speak of ruin, and plot mirmot (deceptions, deceits) all the day long.
13 (14) But I, like a cheresh (deaf man), heard not; and I was like a mute that openeth not his mouth.
14 (15) Thus I was like an ish that heareth not, and in whose mouth are no tokhachot (reproofs).
15 (16) For I wait for Thee, Hashem; Thou wilt hear, Adonoi Elohai.
16 (17) For I said, Hear me, lest otherwise they should gloat over me; when my regel slippeth, they magnify themselves against me.
17 (18) For I am ready to fall, and my sorrow is before me tamid.
18 (19) For I will declare mine avon; I will be in anguish over my chattat.
19 (20) But mine oveyim are chayyim (vigorous), and they are strong; and they that hate me sheker (wrongfully) are multiplied.
20 (21) They also that repay ra’ah for tovah are mine adversaries; because I pursue the thing that is tov.
21 (22) Forsake me not, Hashem Elohai; be not far from me.
22 (23) Make haste to help me, Adonoi Teshuati (L-rd of my salvation).
25 My nefesh has deveykus unto the aphar; revive Thou me according to Thy Davar.
26 I have recounted my drakhim, and Thou heardest me; teach me Thy chukkot.
27 Make me to understand the derech of Thy pikkudim; so shall I meditate on Thy nifla’ot.
28 My nefesh drops with heavy sorrow; strengthen Thou me according unto Thy Davar.
29 Remove from me the derech sheker; and graciously grant me Thy torah.
30 I have chosen the derech emunah; thy mishpatim have I accounted worthy.
31 I have deveykus with Thy edot (testimonies); Hashem, let me not be ashamed.
32 I will run the derech of Thy mitzvot, for Thou shalt set my lev free. HEH
33 Teach me, Hashem, the derech of Thy chukkot; and I shall keep it unto the end.
34 Give me understanding, and I shall keep Thy torah; yes, I shall be shomer over it with my kol lev.
35 Make me to go in the path of Thy mitzvot; for therein do I delight.
36 Incline my lev unto Thy edot, and not to betza (covetousness, selfish gain).
37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding shav (vanity); and revive Thou me in Thy derech.
38 Establish Thy word unto Thy eved, which is for the fear of Thee.
39 Turn away my cherpah (reproach) which I fear; for Thy mishpatim are tovim.
40 Hinei, I have longed after Thy precepts; revive me in Thy tzedakah. VAV
41 Let Thy chasadim come also unto me, Hashem, even Thy Teshu’ah (salvation), according to Thy word.
42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me; for I trust in Thy Davar.
43 And take not the devar emes utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in Thy mishpatim.
44 So shall I be shomer over Thy torah tamid l’olam va’ed.
45 And I will walk freely in a wide place; for I seek Thy pikkudim.
46 I will speak of Thy edot (testimonies) also before melachim, and will not be ashamed.
47 And I will delight myself in Thy mitzvot, which I love.
48 My palms also will I lift up unto Thy mitzvot, which I love; and I will meditate on Thy chukkot. ZAYIN
3 And Yehoshua rose early in the boker; and they set out from Sheetim, and came to the Yarden, he and Kol Bnei Yisroel, and camped there before they crossed over.
2 And it came to pass after shloshet yamim, that the Shoterim went through the Machaneh;
3 And they commanded HaAm, saying, When ye see the Aron Brit Hashem Eloheichem, and the Kohanim who are Levi’im bearing it, then ye shall move out from your makom, and follow after it.
4 Yet there shall be a rachok (distance, space) between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure; come not near unto it, that ye have da’as of the Derech by which ye must go; for ye have not passed this way heretofore.
5 And Yehoshua said unto HaAm, Set yourselves apart as kodesh; for tomorrow Hashem will do nifla’ot among you.
6 And Yehoshua spoke unto the Kohanim, saying, Take up the Aron HaBrit, and cross over before HaAm. And they took up the Aron HaBrit, and went before HaAm.
7 And Hashem said unto Yehoshua, This day will I begin to magnify thee in the sight of kol Yisroel, that they may know that, as I was with Moshe, so I will be with thee.
8 And thou shalt command the Kohanim that bear the Aron HaBrit, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of the Yarden, ye shall stand still in the Yarden.
9 And Yehoshua said unto the Bnei Yisroel, Come here, and hear the Divrei Hashem Eloheichem.
10 And Yehoshua said, Hereby ye shall have da’as that the El Chai is among you, and that He will without fail drive out from before you the Kena’ani, and the Chitti, and the Chivi, and the Perizzi, and the Girgashi, and HaEmori, and the Yevusi.
11 Hinei, the Aron HaBrit Adon Kol HaAretz passeth over before you into the Yarden.
12 Now therefore take you Shnei Asar Ish out of the Shivtei Yisroel, out of every tribe an ish.
13 And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the Kohanim bearing the Aron Hashem, Adon Kol HaAretz, shall rest in the waters of the Yarden, that the waters of the Yarden shall be cut off from the waters that flow down from above; and they shall stand in a heap.
25 For I do not want you to be unaware, Achim b’Moshiach, of this raz (mystery), lest you be wise in your own estimation, that a hardening in part has come over Yisroel, until the full number of the Goyim has come in;
26 And so Klal Yisroel shall be delivered, as it is written: "Out of Tziyon shall come the Go’el (Deliverer, Redeemer); He will turn away, remove peysha from Ya’akov (Jacob),
27 "And this will be My Berit (covenant) with them, when I take away their sins" YESHAYAH 59:20-21; 27:9.
28 With regard to the Besuras HaGeulah they are oyevim (enemies) for your [you Goyim] sake, whereas with regard to the bechirah (election) they are beloved for the sake of the Avot (Fathers).
29 For the matnat Hashem and the kri’at Hashem are irrevocable.
30 For just as you Goyim were once without mishma’at to Hashem, but now have received chaninah (mercy, pardon) by their lack of mishma’at,
31 So also they have now been without mishma’at for your chaninah (mercy, pardon) in order that they also might receive chaninah (mercy) (Ro 9:15-16).
32 For G-d has confined all in disobedience in order that He might have chaninah (mercy) on all;
33 O the depth of the riches and the chochmah (wisdom) and da’as (knowledge) of Hashem. How unfathomable are His mishpatim and unsearchable His ways.
34 For who has known the Ruach of Hashem? Or who has been ISH ATZATO ("His Counselor") [Isa 40:13]?
35 Or who has given in advance to Him so that His presents come only as a (choiv) debt repaid? [IYOV 41:3 (11); Ro 4:4]
36 Because from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. Lo HaKavod l’Olamim. Omein. ("To Him be glory forever. Amen.")
31 And when the Ben Adam (Daniel 7:13) comes, in his kavod and all his malachim with him, then he will sit upon his Kissei Kavod (Glorious Throne).
32 And there will be assembled all the Goyim, and he will separate them from each other as the Roeh (the Shepherd) separates the Kevasim (Sheep) from the Izzim (Goats).
33 And he will put the Kevasim on the right of him, but the Izzim on his left.
34 Then he will say to the ones on his right, Come! Baruchei Avi (Blessed of my Father), receive the bechorah (inheritance), the Malchut prepared for you from before Hivvased HaOlam (the establishing of the world).
35 For I hungered and you gave me something to eat. I thirsted and you gave drink to me. I was a sojourner, and you extended hachnosas orchim (hospitality) to me.
36 I was naked and you gave me malbish arumim (clothing the naked). I was ill; with bikkur cholim (visiting the sick) you ministered to me. I was in the beit hasohar (prison); you came to me.
37 Then the tzaddikim will answer him, [Moshiach] Adoneinu, when did we see you hungering and we fed you, or thirsting and we gave you drink?
38 And when did we see you a sojourner and we extended hachnosas orchim (hospitality) to you, or naked and we clothed you?
39 And when did we see you ill or in the beit hasohar and we came to you?
40 And in reply, HaMelech [HaMoshiach] will say to them, Omein, I say to you, in as much as you did it to one of the least of these achim of mine, you did it to me.
41 Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach will say also to the ones on his left, Depart from me, the ones having been cursed, into the Eish Olam having been prepared for HaSatan and his malachim.
42 For I hungered and you did not give me something to eat; I thirsted and you did not give drink to me.
43 I was a sojourner and you did not extend hachnosas orchim to me; I was naked and you did not clothe me; ill and in the beit hasohar and you did not visit me.
44 Then, also they will answer, saying, [Moshiach] Adoneinu, when did we see you hungering or thirsting or a sojourner or naked or sick or in the beit hasohar and we did not minister to you?
45 Then he will answer them, saying, Omein, I say to you, in as much as you did not do it for one of these least ones, neither did you do it for me.
46 And these will go away into Onesh Olam (Eternal Punishment), but the tzaddikim into Chayyei Olam (Eternal Life). YESHAYAYAH 66:24; DANIEL 12:2]
