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.

41 Keep silence before Me, O iyim (islands); and let the people renew their ko’ach (strength); let them come near; then let them speak; let us come near together for mishpat (judgment, i.e., G-d’s tribunal)

² Who awakened the just one [Koresh, Cyrus 44:28] from the mizrach (east), called him to His raglayim, gave the Goyim before him, and made him rule over melachim? He gave them as the aphar to his [the conqueror’s] cherev, and as windblown kash (chaff, stubble) to his [the conqueror’s] keshet (bow).

³ He [the conqueror] pursued them, and passed on in shalom; even by the orach (path) that his feet do not even come.

⁴ Who hath wrought and done it, calling forth the dorot from the beginning? I Hashem, the Rishon (First), and with the Acharonim (Last ones); I am He.

⁵ The iyim (islands) saw it, and feared; the ketzot ha’aretz (ends of the earth) trembled; they approached and came near.

⁶ They helped everyone his re’a; and everyone said to his brother, chazak!

⁷ So the charash (craftsman) encouraged the tzoref (goldsmith), and he that smootheth with the patish (hammer) encouraged him that strikes the anvil, saying, of the soldering, tov hu; and he fastened it with nails, so that it should not topple.

⁸ But thou, Yisroel, art Avdi, Ya’akov whom I have chosen, the zera Avraham Ohavi (My friend).

⁹ Thou whom I have taken hold of from the ketzot ha’aretz, and called thee from the farthest borders thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art Avdi; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

¹⁰ Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am Eloheicha; I will strengthen thee; indeed, I will help thee; indeed, I will uphold thee with My yamin tzedek.

¹¹ Surely, all they that were raging against thee shall be ashamed and disgraced; they shall be as nothing; and the anshei rivecha (they that strive with thee) shall perish.

¹² Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even the anshei matzutecha (them that contended with thee): the anshei matzutecha (they that war against thee) shall be as nothing, and as a thing of naught.

¹³ For I Hashem Eloheicha will take hold of thy yamin (right hand), saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

18 At that time, the talmidim approached Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach with this she’elah saying, Who then is greatest in the Malchut HaShomayim?

² And having called a yeled to himself, he set him before them,

³ and said, Omein, I say to you, unless you change inwardly and have a complete turn around and become like yeladim, you shall never enter the Malchut HaShomayim.

⁴ Therefore, whoever humbles himself as this yeled, he is the greatest in the Malchut HaShomayim.

⁵ And whoever receives one such yeled in my Name receives me [Moshiach].
