Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

92 (Mizmor. Shir. For Shabbos) It is tov to give thanks unto Hashem, and to make music unto Thy Shem, O Elyon;

^2 (3) To proclaim Thy chesed in the boker, and Thy emunah baleilot,

^3 (4) Upon a ten-stringed instrument, and upon the nevel (lyre); to the melody of the kinnor (harp).

^4 (5) For Thou, Hashem, hast made me glad through Thy work; I will joy in the works of Thy hands.

^12 (13) The tzaddik shall flourish like the palm tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Levanon.

^13 (14) Those that are planted in the Beis Hashem shall flourish in the khatzerot Eloheinu (courts of our G-d).

^14 (15) They shall still bear forth fruit in old age; they shall be deshenim (stalwart, vigorous) and ra’ananim (luxuriant, fresh);

^15 (16) To proclaim that Hashem is yashar; He is my Tzur, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

15 A soft answer turneth away chemah (wrath); but harsh devarim stir up anger.

² The lashon of chachamim useth da’as aright, but the peh (mouth) of kesilim (fools) poureth out folly.

³ The eynayim of Hashem are in kol makom (every place), watching the ra’im and the tovim.

⁴ A marpeh lashon (a tongue of healing) is an Etz Chayyim, but selef (perversity) therein is crushing to the ruach (spirit).

⁵ A fool spurns his musar av, but he that is shomer over tokhakhat (reproof) is prudent.

⁶ In the bais of the tzaddik is much treasure, but in the revenues of the rashah is trouble.

⁷ The sfatayim (lips) of chachamim disperse da’as, but the lev of kesilim doeth not so.

⁸ The zevach of the resha’im is a to’evah to Hashem, but the tefillah (prayer) of the yesharim is His delight.

⁹ The derech rashah is a to’evah unto Hashem, but He loveth him that pursueth tzedakah.

¹³ We do not want you to lack da’as, Chaverim, concerning those who have "fallen asleep." The purpose is that you not have agmat nefesh (grief) like the rest, who do not have tikvah (hope).

¹⁴ For, if we have an Ani Ma’amin belief that Yehoshua had his histalkus and then stood up alive again in the Techiyas HaMoshiach from HaMesim, even so, Hashem will bring with him [Moshiach] those who have fallen asleep through Yehoshua.

¹⁵ For this we say to you by the Dvar Hashem, that we who are alive and have been left behind until the Bi’as (Coming, Parousia of) Moshiach Adoneinu, may in no way be kodem (preceding) those who have fallen asleep.

¹⁶ For Adoneinu Himself, at the signal, at the bat kol of the Sar HaMalachim (the Archangel), and at the shofar blast of Hashem, shall come down from Shomayim, and the Mesim in Moshiach shall stand up alive in the Techiyas HaMesim first.

¹⁷ Then [next in sequence], we who are alive and who have been left behind simultaneously with them shall be snatched up in the ananim (clouds) to meet Adoneinu in the air. And so always with Adoneinu we shall be.

¹⁸ Therefore, give chozek (strength) and speak divrei chizzuk (words of encouragement), comforting one another with these words.
