Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

106 Praise Hashem! O give thanks unto Hashem; for He is tov; for His chesed endureth l’olam.

² Who can speak of the gevurot (mighty acts) of Hashem? Who can show forth all His tehillah (praise)?

³ Ashrei (happy, blessed) are they who are shomrei mishpat, and he that doeth tzedakah at all times.

⁴ Remember me, Hashem, with the favor that Thou bearest unto Thy people; O visit me with Thy Yeshuah (salvation);

⁵ That I may see the good of Bechireicha (Thy chosen ones), that I may rejoice in the simchah of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine nachalah (the people of Thy inheritance).

⁶ We have sinned with Avoteinu, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

⁷ Avoteinu had no seichal concerning Thy nifla’ot (wonders) in Mitzrayim; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies but provoked Him at the yam, even at the Yam Suf.

⁸ Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of Shmo, that He might make His gevu’rot (mighty power) to be known.

⁹ He rebuked the Yam Suf also, and it dried up; so He led them through the tehomot, as through the midbar.

¹⁰ And He saved them from the yad of him that hated them, and He acted to make the go’el redemption from the yad of the oyev (enemy).

¹¹ And the mayim covered their enemies; there was not echad (one) of them left surviving.

¹² Then believed they in His Devarim; they sang His tehillah.

[VAYETZE]

¹⁰ And Ya’akov went out from Beer-Sheva, and went toward Charan.

¹¹ And he reached a certain place, and tarried there, because the shemesh was set; and he took of the avanim of that place, and put them for his pillow, and lay down in that place to sleep.

¹² And he had a chalom, and hinei a sullam (ladder, stairway) set up on the ground, and the top of it reached to Shomayim: and hinei the malachim of Elohim ascending and descending on it.

¹³ And, hinei, Hashem stood above it, and said, I am Hashem Elohei Avraham thy av, and Elohei Yitzchak; ha’aretz whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy zera;

¹⁴ And thy zera shall be as the dust of ha’aretz, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy zera shall kol hamishpochot haadamah be blessed.

¹⁵ And, hinei, I am with thee, and will be shomer over thee in all places where thou goest, and will bring thee back into haadamah hazot; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have promised thee.

¹⁶ And Ya’akov awoke out of his sleep, and he said, Surely Hashem is in this place! And I had no da’as of it.

¹⁷ And he was afraid, and said, How nora (awesome) is this place! This is none other than the Beis Elohim, and this is the Sha’ar HaShomayim.

¹⁷ I appeal to you, Achim b’Moshiach, to look out for those who cause kitot (sects) and nisyonot (temptations) contrary to the Torah which you learned, and keep away from them.

¹⁸ For such people do not serve Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu but their own appetites, and through smooth loshon and fine sounding words they deceive the levavot of the unsuspecting.

¹⁹ For your mishma’at has become known to all. So I have simcha over you, but want you to be chachamim regarding what is HaTov and innocent regarding what is HaRah.

²⁰ And Elohei HaShalom will soon crush Hasatan under your feet. Chesed Adoneinu Moshiach Yehoshua yi’heyeh immachem (The unmerited favor, mercy and grace of Adoneinu Moshiach Yehoshua be with you).
