^21 (22) With whom My yad shall be established; Mine zero’a also shall strengthen him.

15 And Dovid made him batim (buildings) in Ir Dovid, and prepared a makom for Aron HaElohim, and pitched for it an ohel.

² Then Dovid said, None may carry Aron HaElohim but the Levi’im; for them hath Hashem bachar (chosen) to carry the Aron HaElohim, and to minister unto Him ad olam.

⁵ Asaph HaRosh, and mishneh to him Zecharyah, Ye’i’el, and Shemiramot, and Yechiel, and Mattityah, and Eliav, and Benayah, and Oved-Edom; and Ye’i’el with instruments of nevalim (lyres) and with kinnorot; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;

⁶ Benayah also and Yachziel the Kohanim with chatzotzerot (trumpets) tamid (continually) before the Aron Brit HaElohim.

⁷ Then on that day Dovid first committed the giving of thanks unto Hashem into the yad Asaph and his achim.

⁸ Give thanks unto Hashem, call upon Shmo, make known His deeds among the nations.

³⁷ And they reported to him that Yehoshua from Natzeret is passing by.

³⁸ And he cried out saying, Ben Dovid! Chaneni! (Have mercy on me!)

³⁹ And the ones going past him were rebuking him that he should be silent, but he just so much the more was crying out, Ben Dovid, chaneni!

⁴⁰ And stopping, Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach commanded the ivver to be led to him. Having drawn near, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach asked him, What do you wish that I may do for you?

⁴¹ And he said, Adoni, that I may regain my sight.

⁴² And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach said to him, Regain your sight; your emunah (faith) has brought you refuah (healing).

⁴³ And at once he saw again and was following Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, shouting, Baruch Hashem! And all the people, who were edei reiyah (eyewitnesses) of this, shouted, Baruch HaShem!
