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.
5 (6) Hashem, how great are Thy works! And Thy machshe’vot (thoughts) are very deep.
6 (7) An ish ba’ar (brutish, senseless man, dolt) knoweth not; neither doth a kesil (fool) understand this.
7 (8) When the resha’im spring up like the esev (grass), and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish, it is that they shall be destroyed adei-ad (forever).
8 (9) But Thou, Hashem, art exalted l’olam.
9 (10) For, hinei, Thine enemies, Hashem, for, hinei, Thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 (11) But my keren shalt Thou exalt like the keren of a re’eim (wild ox); I shall be anointed with fresh shemen.
11 (12) Mine eye also shall look on mine foes, and mine ears shall hear of the resha’im that rise up against me.
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.
3 If ye walk in My chukkot, and be shomer over My mitzvot, and do them;
4 Then I will give you geshem in due season, and HaAretz shall yield her increase, and the etz hasadeh shall yield his pri.
5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your lechem to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6 And I will give shalom in HaAretz, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid the savage beast out of HaAretz, neither shall the cherev pass through your land.
7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the cherev.
8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the cherev.
9 For I will look upon you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and confirm My Brit (Covenant) with you.
10 And ye shall be eating the old harvest when you move out the yashan because of the chadash.
11 And I set My Mishkan among you: and My Nefesh shall not abhor you.
12 And I will walk among you, and will be Elohim to you, and ye shall be My people.
13 I am Hashem Eloheichem, which brought you forth out of Eretz Mitzrayim, that ye should not be their avadim; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you walk head held high.
14 But if ye will not pay heed unto Me, and will not do all these mitzvot,
15 And if ye shall despise My chukkot, or if your nefesh abhor My mishpatim, so that ye will not do all My mitzvot, but that ye violate My Brit (Covenant),
16 I also will do this unto you: I will even visit upon you terror, wasting disease, and the burning fever, that shall consume the eyes, and drain the nefesh: and ye shall sow your zera in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17 And I will set My Face against you, and ye shall be struck down before your enemies. They that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none rodef (pursue, persecute) you.
18 And if ye will not yet for all this pay heed unto Me, then I will punish you seven times more for your chattot.
19 And I will break the ga’on (pride) of your stubbornness; and I will make your skies as barzel, and your soil as bronze;
20 And your ko’ach shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the etz HaAretz yield their pri.
4 Lemaskana (finally), Achim b’Moshiach, we ask and exhort you in Adoneinu Yehoshua, in order that, just as from us (Moshiach’s Shlichim) you received (as authoritative halachic tradition, as the Messianic teaching to be followed) how it is necessary for you to be fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech (way of life) and to please Hashem (just as you in fact are doing), so you should abound more and more.
2 For you have da’as what mitzvot (commandments) we gave you through [Moshiach] Adoneinu Yehoshua.
3 For this is the ratzon Hashem (the will of G-d), your kedushah (holiness), your consecration, that you abstain from zenut (fornication),
4 That each one of you [as Kadoshim] have da’as of how to control your own k’li (vessel) in kedushah and kavod,
5 Not in the passion of ta’avah (evil desire, lust) like Goyim who do not have da’as of Hashem;
6 That no man commit peysha and take advantage of one of his Achim b’Moshiach in this [sexual] matter, because Hashem is the Nokem (Avenger) concerning all these things, just as also we told you before and warned you.
7 For [as far as our bechirah (election) is concerned], Hashem did not summon us for tu’ma (uncleanness) but in kedushah (holiness).
8 Therefore, the one rejecting this mitzvah (commandment) does not reject Bnei Adam but Hashem who gives to you His Ruach Hakodesh.
