Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

¹² Ashrei is the Goy whose Elohav is Hashem; and HaAm whom He hath chosen for His own nachalah.

¹³ Hashem looketh down from Shomayim: He beholdeth kol Bnei HaAdam.

¹⁴ From the place of His habitation He looketh upon kol yoshvei ha’aretz.

¹⁵ He formeth their hearts yachad; He considereth all their ma’asim (deeds).

¹⁶ There is no melech saved by the multitude of an army; a gibbor is not delivered by rav ko’ach.

¹⁷ A sus is a sheker (vain, false thing) for teshu’ah (deliverance, salvation, safety); neither shall it save any by its great strength.

¹⁸ Hinei, the eye of Hashem is upon them that fear Him, upon them that hope in His chesed;

¹⁹ To deliver their nefesh from mavet (death), and to keep them alive in ra’av (famine).

²⁰ Our nefesh waiteth for Hashem; He is ezrienu (our help) and moginneinu (our shield).

²¹ For libeinu (our heart) shall rejoice in Him, because we have trusted b’Shem Kadsho (in His holy Name).

²² Let Thy chesed, Hashem, be upon us, even as we have hoped in Thee.

⁶ Thy right hand, Hashem, is become glorious in ko’ach; Thy right hand, Hashem, hath dashed into pieces the oyev.

⁷ And in the greatness of Thine majesty Thou hast overthrown them that rose up against Thee; Thou sentest forth Thy charon (wrath), which consumed them as stubble.

⁸ And with the blast of Thy nostrils the mayim were gathered together, the floods stood upright like a stack, and the tehomot were congealed in the lev yam (heart of the sea).

⁹ The oyev said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will share the plunder; my battlelust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my cherev, my yad shall take possession of them.

¹⁰ Thou didst blow with Thy ruach, the yam covered them; they sank like lead in the mighty waters.

¹¹ Mi chamochah ba’elim, Adonoi (Who is like unto Thee, Hashem, among the elim [g-ds])? Who is like Thee, glorious in kodesh (holiness), awesome in praiseworthy acts, doing wonders?

³⁷ Now on the last day of the Chag, Hoshana Rabbah, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts let him come to me and drink. [Lv 23:36; Isa 55:1; 12:3; 49:10]

³⁸ The one with emunah in me, as the Kitvei Hakodesh said, ‘Out of the midst of him, rivers of MAYIM CHAYYIM [Zech 14:8] will flow.’ [Prov 18:4; Isa 44:3; 58:11; 43:19f, Ezek 47:1-12; Joel 4:18; Song 4:15].

³⁹ But this he said about the Ruach Hakodesh which the ones having emunah (faith) in him were about to receive, for the Ruach Hakodesh had not yet been given, because he had not yet received kavod. [YOEL 2:28 (3:1)]
