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.

⁸ Now go, write it before them on a luach (tablet), and inscribe it on a sefer, that it may be for a yom acharon l’ad ad olam;

⁹ That this is a rebellious people, deceitful banim, banim that will not hear the torah of Hashem;

¹⁰ Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us nekhochot (right things), speak unto us chalakot (smooth things), prophesy machatallot (deceits, illusions);

¹¹ Get you off the derech, turn aside out of the orach (path), cause Kadosh Yisroel to cease from before us.

¹² Therefore thus saith Kadosh Yisroel, Because ye despise this davar, and trust in oshek (oppression) and waywardness, and rely thereon;

¹³ Therefore this avon shall be to you as a cracking breach ready to fall, a bulge in a high chomah (wall), whose breaking cometh suddenly in an instant.

¹⁴ And whose collapse is as the breaking of the clay jar of yotzerim (pottery makers) that is broken in pieces; it shall not be spared; so that there shall not be found among its fragments a shard to take eish from the fire, or to take mayim therewith out of the cistern.

¹⁵ For thus saith Adonoi Hashem Kadosh Yisroel; In shuvah (returning) and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your gevurah (strength); but ye would not.

¹⁶ But ye said, No; for we will flee upon sus; therefore shall ye flee; and, We will ride off upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

¹⁷ Elef echad shall flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five shall ye flee; until ye be left as a pole upon the top of the har, and as a nes (banner, flag) on a hill.

16 I have spoken these things to you that no cause of michshol (stumbling, falling) may trip you up.

² They will put you under the cherem ban in the shuls. A sha’ah (hour, time) is coming when everyone who kills you will suppose they are offering avodas kodesh to Hashem. [YESHAYAH 66:5]

³ And these things they will do because they did not have da’as of HaAv or of me.

⁴ But these things I have spoken to you, that, when the sha’ah of these things comes, you might have zikaron (remembrance) of these things, that I told you. But I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.
