Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
105 O give thanks unto Hashem; call upon Shmo; make known His deeds among the amim.
2 Sing unto Him, sing praise unto Him; talk ye of all His nifle’ot (wondrous works).
3 Glory ye in the Shem Kadosh of Him; let the lev of them that seek Hashem be glad.
4 Seek Hashem, and His oz (strength); seek His face tamid.
5 Remember His nifla’ot (marvellous works) that He hath done; His mofetim (wonders), and the mishpatim of His mouth;
6 O ye zera Avraham His eved, ye Bnei Ya’akov His Bechirim (chosen ones).
7 He is Hashem Eloheinu; His mishpatim are in kol ha’aretz.
8 He hath remembered His Brit l’olam, the Dvar which He commanded to an elef dor (a thousand generations)
9 Which Brit He made with Avraham, and His shevu’ah (oath) unto Yitzchak;
10 And confirmed the same unto Ya’akov for a chok (decree), and to Yisroel as Brit Olam;
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give Eretz Kena’an, the chevel (lot, portion) of your nachalah.
37 He brought them forth also with kesef and zahav; and there was not one stumbling among His Shvatim (tribes).
38 Mitzrayim was glad when they departed; for the pachad (terror, dread) of them had fallen upon them.
39 He spread an anan for a curtain; and eish to give light in the lailah.
40 The people asked, and He brought slav (quails), and satisfied them with the lechem Shomayim.
41 He opened the Tzur, and the mayim gushed out; it ran in the dry places like a nahar.
42 For He remembered His Davar Kadosh, and Avraham His eved.
43 And He brought forth His people with sasson, and His chosen with joyful shouts;
44 And gave them the lands of the Goyim; and they inherited the amal (labor, toil) of the amim;
45 That they might be shomer over His chukkot, and observe His torot (laws). Praise Hashem.
12 For thus saith Hashem, Thy bruise is incurable, and thy makkah (blow, wound) is grievous.
13 There is none to uphold thy cause, no refu’ot for your wound, no healing for you.
14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the makkat oyev, with the musar (chastisement) of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine avon; because thy sins were increased.
15 Why dost thou cry out over thine affliction? Thy pain is incurable for the multitude of thine avon; because thy chattot were increased, I have done these things unto thee.
16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that plunder thee shall become plunder, and all that prey upon thee will I give for prey.
17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy makkot (wounds), saith Hashem; because they called thee a Nidachah (Outcast), saying, This is Tziyon, whom no one careth for.
18 Thus saith Hashem; Hineni, I will bring back the captivity of Ya’akov’s ohalim, and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the Ir shall be rebuilt upon her own ruins, and the armon (citadel) shall stand on its rightful site.
19 And out of them shall proceed todah (thanksgiving) and the voice of them that rejoice; and I will multiply them, and they shall not be few; I will also honor them, and they shall not be disdained.
20 Their banim also shall be as formerly, and their Edah (Congregation) shall be established before Me, and I will punish all that oppress them.
21 And their Adir (Prince, Leader) shall be one of their own, and their Moshel (ruler) shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to draw near, and he shall approach unto Me; for who is this that devoted his lev to approach unto Me? saith Hashem.
22 And ye shall be My people, and I will be your Elohim.
36 While you have the Ohr, walk in the Ohr that you may become Bnei HaOhr. These things spoke Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. And, having gone away, he was hidden from them.
37 Though so many otot he had done before them, they lacked emunah in him,
38 That the dvar of Yeshayah HaNavi may be fulfilled, which said, Adonoi, MI HE’EMIN LISHMU’ATEINU UZERO’A HASHEM AL-MI NIGLATAH? (Who has believed our report and to whom is the arm of Hashem revealed?‖Isa 53:1)
39 Therefore, they were not able to have emunah, because, again Yeshayah said,
40 HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES, HASHMIN LEV HAAM HAZEH (Harden the heart of this people), THAT THEY MIGHT NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND HAVE BINAH WITH THEIR LEV AND MIGHT TURN AND I WILL HEAL THEM. [YESHAYAH 6:10]
41 These things Yeshayah spoke because he saw the kavod (glory) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and he spoke about him. [Isa 6:1]
42 Nevertheless, however, even among the manhigim (leaders) many had emunah (faith) in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. But because of the Perushim, they were not making hoda’ah (confession) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, lest under the cherem ban they should be put away from the shul.
43 For their ahavah was for the kavod Bnei Adam rather than the kavod Hashem. [SHMUEL ALEF 15:30]
