Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

⁹ How shall a na’ar cleanse his way? By being shomer thereto according to Thy Davar (Word).

¹⁰ With my kol lev have I sought Thee; O let me not wander from Thy mitzvot.

¹¹ Thy word have I hid in my lev, lema’an (so that) I might not sin against Thee.

¹² Baruch atah, Adonoi; teach me Thy chukkot.

¹³ With my sfatayim (lips) have I declared all the mishpatim of Thy mouth.

¹⁴ I have rejoiced in the derech of Thy edot (testimonies), as much as in all riches.

¹⁵ I will meditate in Thy pikkudim, and consider Thy orkhot (paths).

¹⁶ I will delight myself in Thy chukkot; I will not forget Thy Davar. GIMEL

⁸ Bring forth the Am Ivver that have eyes, and the chereshim that have oznayim.

⁹ Let kol HaGoyim be gathered together, and let the peoples be assembled; who among them can declare this, and show us rishonot (former things)? Let them bring forth their edim (witnesses), that they may be vindicated: or let them hear, and say, It is emes.

¹⁰ Ye are My edim (witnesses), saith Hashem. And Avdi whom I have chosen; so that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that Ani Hu (I am He); before Me there was no El formed, neither shall there be after Me.

¹¹ I, even I, am Hashem; and apart from Me there is no Moshi’a.

¹² I have declared, and have saved, and I have proclaimed, when there was no zar (foreign) [g-d] among you; therefore you [plural] are My edim (witnesses), saith Hashem, that I am El.

¹³ Yes, before the yom was, Ani Hu (I am He); and there is none that can deliver out of My Yad; I work, and who shall reverse it?

⁴ Such is the bitachon (confidence) that we have through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach toward Hashem.

⁵ Not that we are competent from ourselves to claim anything as of ourselves, but our competence is from Hashem, [2C 2:16]

⁶ Who also made us competent as klei kodesh mesharetim (ministers) of a Brit Chadasha [SHEMOT 24:8; YIRMEYAH 31:31; 32:40; 2C 11:25; MJ 8:8-13]‖not of chumra (not of strict adherence to the letter of the law, legalism), but of the Ruach Hakodesh: for the chumra (letter of the law) kills, but the Ruach Hakodesh gives Chayyim (life). [Yn 6:63; Ro 7:6].

⁷ Now if the sherut of mavet chiseled in letters engraved on luchot of stone came with kavod (glory), so that the Bnei Yisroel were not able to gaze into the face of Moshe Rabbeinu because of P’NI MOSHE KI KARON ("face of Moshe Rabbeinu that he was radiant" SHEMOT 34:35) because of the kavod (glory) of his face, the kavod (glory) which is fading, [SHEMOT 34:29-34; YESHAYAH 42:21]

⁸ Then how much more will the avodas kodesh ministry of the Ruach Hakodesh come in kavod (glory)?

⁹ For if there was kavod in the sherut of harsha’ah (condemnation) [DEVARIM 27:26], how much more abounds in kavod the sherut of tzedek [DANIEL 9:24].[Ro 1:17;3:21]

¹⁰ For indeed what once had kavod has lost its kavod [SHEMOT 34:29-30] on account of the surpassing kavod (glory).

¹¹ For if the thing which now is fading away came with kavod (glory), much more has that which remains come in kavod.
