Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

26 (Of Dovid) Vindicate me, Hashem; for I have walked in mine tohm (guilelessness); I have trusted also in Hashem without wavering.

² Examine me, Hashem, and prove me; try my heart and my mind.

³ For Thy chesed is before mine eyes; and I have walked in Thy emes.

⁴ I do not sit with meteishav (men of vanity), neither will I go in with dissemblers.

⁵ I have hated the kehal mere’im (congregation of evil doers); and will not sit with the resha’im.

⁶ I will wash mine hands in nikkayon (innocency, cleanness, freedom from punishment); so will I encompass Thine Mizbe’ach, Hashem;

⁷ That I may publish with the voice of todah, and tell of all Thy wondrous works.

⁸ Hashem, I have loved the ma’on of Thy Bais [HaMikdash], and the Mishkan where Thine kavod dwelleth.

¹⁰ Oy li, immi, that thou bore me, an ish riv (a man of strife) and an ish madon (a man of contention) to kol ha’aretz (the whole land)! I have neither lent, neither have any lent to me; yet every one of them doth curse me.

¹¹ Hashem said, Verily I will deliver thee for tov; verily I will cause the oyev (enemy) to supplicate thee in the time of ra’ah and in the time of tzarah (distress).

¹² Shall barzel (iron) break, barzel (iron) from tzafon (north)? Or nechoshet?

¹³ Thy wealth and thy otzerot (treasures) will I give as plunder without mekhir (price), and that for all thy chataim (sins), even in all thy territories.

¹⁴ And I will make thee to pass over thine oyevim (enemies) into an eretz which thou knowest not; for eish is kindled in Mine anger, which shall burn against you [plural].

¹⁴ When Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach entered the bais (house) of Kefa, he saw the chamot (mother-in-law, shviger) bedridden and fever stricken.

¹⁵ Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach touched her hand, and the fever left her. She then began functioning as his mesharetet (servant, lady minister), serving Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

¹⁶ And when erev (evening) had come, they brought to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach many possessed by shedim (evil spirits, demons), and he cast out the shedim with a dvar, and all the cholim (sick persons) he healed.

¹⁷ Thus was fulfilled what was spoken by Yeshayah the Navi, saying, ACHEN CHOLAYEINU HU NASA UMACHOVEINU SVALAM (Surely he took up our sicknesses and he carried away [T.N. like the Yom Kippur sa’ir l’Azazel scapegoat kapporah] our sorrows, YESHAYAH 53:4).
