Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
90 (Tefillah of Moshe, ish HaElohim) Adonoi, Thou hast been our ma’on (dwelling place) b’dor vador.
2 Before the harim were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed eretz and the tevel (inhabited world), even from olam ad olam, Thou art El (G-d).
3 Thou turnest enosh to dakka (dust); and sayest, Shuvu, ye Bnei Adam.
4 For an elef shanim in Thy sight are but as yom etmol (yesterday) when it is past, and as an ashmurah (watch, division of time) in the lailah.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sheinah (sleep); in the boker they are like khatzir (grass) which withereth.
6 In the boker it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the erev it is cut down, and drieth up.
13 Shuvah, Hashem. Ad mosai? Have compassion on Thy avadim.
14 O satisfy us baboker with Thy chesed; that we may sing for joy and be glad kol yameinu (all our days).
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein Thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen ra’ah.
16 Let Thy work appear unto Thy avadim, and Thy glory unto their banim.
17 And let the no’am (favor, delightfulness) of Adonoi Eloheinu be upon us; and establish Thou the ma’aseh yadeinu upon us; yes, the ma’aseh yadeinu establish Thou it.
[HAAZINU]
32 Give ear, O Shomayim, and I will speak; and hear, O Ha’Aretz, the words of my mouth.
2 My teaching shall drop as the matar, my speech shall distil as the tal, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the esev;
3 Because I will publish the Shem of Hashem; ascribe ye greatness unto Eloheinu.
4 He is the Tzur, His po’al is tamim; for all His ways are mishpat; El Emunah and without avel (iniquity), tzaddik and yashar is He.
5 They have corrupted themselves, their mum is not His; the defect is in His banim; a dor ikesh u’petaltol (a perverse and crooked generation).
6 Do ye thus repay Hashem, O foolish people without chacham? Is not He Avicha that hath bought thee? Hath He not made thee, and established thee?
7 Remember the yemot olam, consider shenot dor v’dor: ask Avicha, and he will show thee; thy zekenim, and they will tell thee.
8 When HaElyon divided to the Goyim their nachalah, when He separated the Bnei Adam, He set the gevulot (borders) of the people according to the number of the Bnei Yisroel.
9 For Hashem’s chelek is His people; Ya’akov is the chevel (allotment) of His nachalah.
10 He found him in an eretz midbar, and in a barren and howling wilderness; He encircled him, He granted him discernment, He preserved him as the pupil of His eye.
11 As a nesher stirreth up her ken (nest), fluttereth over her young, spreadeth her wings, taketh them up, beareth them on her wings,
12 So Hashem alone did lead him, and there was no el nekhar (strange g-d) with him.
13 He made him ride on the high places of Eretz, that he might eat the tenuvot sadeh (increase of the fields); and He made to suckle him devash out of the rock, and shemen out of the flinty rock;
14 Butter of cattle, and cholov tzon, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with chittah (wheat) as fat as kidneys; and thou didst drink the pure dahm of the grape.
18 Of the Tzur that fathered thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten El that formed thee.
7 About all things, showing yourself a mofet of ma’asim tovim. In the hora’ah [of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach], show integrity, seriousness,
8 Along with dibur (speech) that is orthodox [in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] and beyond reproach, that the mitnagged may be brought to bushah (shame), having no lashon hora to say against you.
11 For the Chen v’Chesed of Hashem has appeared, bringing Yeshu’at Eloheynu to kol Bnei Adam,
12 Instructing us to deny all that is frai (irreligious) and not of chasidus [in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach] and all that is ta’avanut, and to live with seichel and tzidkat Hashem and yirat Shomayim in the Olam Hazeh,
13 Awaiting the tikvah hameashsheret (the blessed hope), the appearing of the kavod HaEloheinu HaGadol and Moshieynu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua,
14 Who gave his nefesh on behalf of us, that for us he might bring in the Geulah, redeeming us MI KOL AVONOTAV ("from all Israel’s sins” TEHILLIM 130:8; Isa 53:8), making tahor AM LI SEGULAH ("a people for My possession” SHEMOT 19:5), zealous for ma’asim tovim.
15 Preach these things, with words that give chizzuk (strengthening) and reprove with all authority. Let no one "write you off.”
