16 (A mikhtam Dovid). Be shomer over me, O El: for in Thee do I hide myself.

² I said unto Hashem, Thou art Adonoi of me; besides Thee I have no good;

³ But to the Kedoshim that are in ha’aretz, they are the glorious ones, in whom is all my delight.

⁴ Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after other g-ds; their nesakhim (drink offerings) of dahm will I not offer, nor take up their shmot (names [of idols]) on my lips.

⁵ Hashem is the chelek (allotted share) of mine inheritance and of my kos (cup [of blessing]); Thou maintainest my goral (lot, allotment by the divine will).

⁶ The boundary lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly nachalah (inheritance).

⁷ I will bless Hashem, Who hath given me counsel; my mind also instructs me in the night seasons.

⁸ I have set Hashem always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

⁹ Therefore my lev is glad, and my kavod rejoiceth; my basar also shall dwell securely [see 1Th 5:23 OJBC].

¹⁰ For Thou wilt not abandon my nefesh in Sheol; neither wilt Thou allow Thine Chasid to see shachat (corruption, the pit, the grave, the abyss of corruption; see Ac 2:24).

¹¹ Thou wilt show me the Orach Chayyim (the path of life); in Thy presence is fulness of joy, at Thy right hand there are pleasures netzach (for evermore).

⁶ Set me as a chotam (seal) upon thine lev, as a chotam upon thine zero’a (arm); for ahavah is strong as mavet (death); kinah (jealousy) as unyielding as Sheol; the flames thereof are flames of eish, the flame of Hashem.

⁷ Mayim rabbim (many waters) cannot quench HaAhavah, neither can the floods drown it; if a man would give all the wealth of his bais for ahavah, it would be utterly scorned.

¹¹ Now Miryam had stood at the kever (tomb) outside weeping. Then, as she was weeping, she bent down into the kever (tomb)

¹² And sees two malachim (angels) in white, sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the Guf of Yehoshua had previously been lying.

¹³ And those ones say to her, Isha, why do you weep? She says to them, They took Adoni, and I don’t have da’as of where they placed him.

¹⁴ When she had said these things, she turned back around, and she sees Yehoshua standing there, and she did not have da’as that it was Yehoshua.

¹⁵ Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to her, Isha, why do you weep? Whom do you seek? Miryam, supposing that he was the shomer hagahn (the keeper of the garden), says to him, Adon, if you carried him away, tell me where you placed him, and I’ll take him.

¹⁶ He says to her, Miryam. She turns and she says to him in Ivrit, Rabboni. (This means mori [my teacher].)

¹⁷ He says to her, Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet made the aliyah ascent to HaAv; but go to my Achim and tell them, I make the aliyah ascent to Avi and to Avichem, to Elohai and Eloheichem. [TEHILLIM 22:23]

¹⁸ Miryam from Magdala comes announcing to the talmidim, I have seen HaAdon [MALACHI 3:1]. And she told them that He had said to her these things.

¹⁹ On that Yom Rishon, when it was erev, and the delatot (doors) having been shut where the talmidim were, because of fear of those of Yehudah, then came Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach and stood in the midst and says to them, Shalom Aleichem!

²⁰ And having said this, He showed his hands and his side to them. Therefore, the talmidim were filled with simcha at having seen HaAdon (MALACHI 3:1).
