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.

²³ The ta’avat tzaddikim is only tov, but the tikveh of the resha’im is wrath.

²⁴ There is that which scattereth, and yet increaseth more; and there is that which withholdeth more than is yosher, but it leadeth to machsor (want, need, poverty).

²⁵ The nefesh brocha (generous person) shall be made to prosper, and he that watereth shall be refreshed also himself.

²⁶ He that withholdeth grain, the people shall curse him, but brocha shall be upon the head of him that selleth it.

²⁷ He that diligently seeketh tov procureth ratzon, but he that seeketh ra’ah, it shall come unto him.

²⁸ He that trusteth in his riches shall fall; but the tzaddik shall flourish like the green leaf.

²⁹ He that troubleth his own bais shall inherit the ruach (wind), and the fool shall be eved to the chacham lev.

³⁰ The p’ri tzedek is Etz Chayyim, and he that winneth nefashot is chacham (wise).

¹⁰ And, approaching, the talmidim said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Why in meshalim (parables) are you speaking to them?

¹¹ And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered them, Because to you it has been granted to have daas of the razim (mysteries) of the Malchut HaShomayim, but to those it has not been granted.

¹² For whoever has, [more] will be given to him, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him (see Mt 25:14-29).

¹³ For this reason in meshalim I am speaking to them, for while seeing they do not see, and [while] hearing they do not hear, nor do they have binah (understanding).

¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled the nevuah (prophecy) of Yeshayah HaNavi, saying, SHIMU SHAMOA VAL TAVINU UREU RAO VAL TEIDAU (In hearing you will hear and by no means understand, and seeing you will see and by no means perceive).

¹⁵ HASHMEIN LEV HAAM HAZEH VAZNAV HACHBEID VEINAV HASHA, PEN YIREH VEINAV UVEAZNAV YISHMAH ULEVAVO YAVIN, VSHAV NRAFAH LOH. (For the heart of this people has been made dull, and with [their] ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes are shut, lest they see with the their eyes and with [their] ears they hear, and with the lev (heart) they understand and they turn and I will give them refuah [healing] YESHAYAH 6:9-10).

¹⁶ But ashrey are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.

¹⁷ For truly I say to you that many Neviim and tzaddikim desired to see what you see, and they did not see [it], and to hear what you hear, and they did not hear it.
