Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)
81 (For the one directing. On the gittis. Of Asaph.) Sing with joy unto Elohim uzeinu (our strength); make a joyful noise unto Elohei Ya’akov.
2 (3) Begin a song, and bring hither the tambourine, the pleasant kinnor (harp) with the nevel (lyre).
3 (4) Blow the shofar at Rosh Chodesh, at the full moon, on Yom Chageinu.
4 (5) For this was a chok for Yisroel, and a mishpat of the Elohei Ya’akov.
5 (6) This He ordained in Yosef for an edut, when He went out over Eretz Mitzra- yim; where a language of one not known did I hear.
6 (7) I removed his shekhem (shoulder) from the burden; his hands were delivered from the basket.
7 (8) In tzoros thou calledst, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the seter ra’am (secret place of thunder); I tested thee at the waters of Merivah. Selah.
8 (9) Shema, O My people, and I will admonish thee; O Yisroel, if thou wilt pay heed unto Me;
9 (10) There shall no el zar (strange, foreign g-d) be among thee; neither shalt thou worship any el nechar (foreign g-d).
10 (11) I am Hashem Eloheicha Who brought thee out of Eretz Mitzrayim; open thy mouth wide, I will fill it.
23 And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,
2 Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, and say unto them, Concerning the Mo’adim of Hashem, which ye shall proclaim to be mikra’ei kodesh, even these are My Mo’adim.
3 Sheshet yamim shall work be done; but the yom hashevi’i is the Shabbos of Shabbaton, a mikra kodesh; ye shall do no work therein: it is the Shabbos to Hashem in all your dwellings.
4 These are the Moa’dim of Hashem, even mikra’ei kodesh, which ye shall proclaim in their mo’adim.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is Hashem’s Pesach.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Chag HaMatzot unto Hashem; shivat yamim ye must eat matzot.
7 In the Yom HaRishon ye shall have a mikra kodesh; ye shall do no melekhet avodah therein.
8 But ye shall offer an offering made by eish unto Hashem shivat yamim; in the seventh day is a mikra kodesh; ye shall do no melekhet avodah therein.
31 In view of these things, what therefore shall we say? If Hashem is for us, who is against us?
32 He who indeed did not spare His own Ben HaElohim but gave him up for us all, how shall He not also with him give us all things (see Ro 8:12-17; 4:13).
33 Who will bring charges against the Bechirei HaElohim (chosen ones of Hashem)? It is Hashem who acquits and pronounces to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM (justified with G-d).
34 Who is there to bring a judgment of harsha’ah (condemnation, to condemn to Onesh Gehinnom, cf. Ro 8:1)? It is Moshiach Yehoshua who died, rather was kam litechiyah (raised to resurrection), who also is at LIMIN HASHEM (the right hand of G-d—TEHILLIM 110:1), who also intercedes on our behalf (see Ro 8:26-27).
35 Who will separate us from the Ahavas Moshiach (love of Moshiach)? Tzoros (affliction, trouble), or distress, or redifot (persecutions), or hunger, or nakedness, or danger, or cherev (sword 13:4)?
36 As it is written, KI ALECHA HORAGNU KOL HAYOM NECHESHAVNU K’TZON TIVCHAH ("For Your sake we are being killed all the day; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter" TEHILLIM 44:23 (22).
37 But in all these things we prevail bichlal (entirely) through Him who had ahavah for us.
38 For I am convinced that neither Histalkus nor Chayyim nor Malachim nor Rulers, neither things present nor things to come nor kochot (powers),
39 Neither height nor depth nor any other creature will be able to separate us from the ahavas Hashem which is in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.
