Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

^5 (6) Truly in Elohim wait silently [in submission], my nefesh, for my tikvah (hope) is from Him.

^6 (7) Truly He is my Tzur and my Yeshuah (salvation); He is my stronghold; I shall not be shaken.

^7 (8) In Elohim is my salvation and my Kavod: the Tzur of my strength, and my refuge, is in Elohim.

^8 (9) Trust in Him at all time; ye people, pour out your lev before Him; Elohim is a refuge for us. Selah.

^9 (10) Truly Bnei Adam (those of low estate) are hevel (vanity), and Bnei Ish (those who are highborn) are kazav (a lie); they go up in the balances; they are altogether lighter than hevel (vanity).

^10 (11) Trust not in oshek (oppression, extortion) and become not vain in gazel (the thing taken as plunder); if riches increase, set not your lev upon them.

^11 (12) Elohim hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that oz (strength) belongeth unto Elohim.

^12 (13) Also unto Thee, Adonoi, belongeth chesed; for Thou renderest to ish (every man) according to his ma’asim (deeds).

¹⁴ Arur (cursed) be the day wherein I was born; let not the day wherein immi bore me yehi baruch (be blessed).

¹⁵ Arur (cursed) be the ish who brought news to avi, saying, A ben zachar (male child) is born unto thee; making him very glad.

¹⁶ And let that ish be as the towns which Hashem overthrew, and relented not; and let him hear the wailing in the boker, and the teru’ah (battle cry) at noontide;

¹⁷ Because he slaughtered me not from the womb; or that immi might have been my kever, and olam (forever) her womb enlarged.

¹⁸ Why came I forth out of the womb to see amal (trouble, toil) and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?

¹³ Woe to you, Korazin, oy to you, Beit-Tzaidah, because if in Tzor and Tzidon had occurred the gevurot that have happened in you, long ago, they, sitting in sackcloth and ashes, would have made teshuva.

¹⁴ But for Tzor and Tzidon it will be more bearable in the Yom HaDin than for you.

¹⁵ And you, Kfar-Nachum, surely not up to Shomayim will you be exalted? To Gehinnom you will descend!

¹⁶ The one listening to you listens to me [Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach], and the one rejecting you, rejects me [Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach]. But the one rejecting me [Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach], rejects the One [the G-d of Yisroel] who sent me.
