Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
116 I love Hashem, because He hath heard my kol (voice), even my techinnah.
2 Because He hath inclined His ozen (ear) unto me, therefore will I call upon Him while I have days.
3 Chevlei mavet (pangs of death) encompassed me, and the metzarei She’ol (confines, straitnesses of She’ol) have caught up with me and found me; tzoros and yagon (sorrow) I found.
4 Then called I b’Shem Hashem: O Hashem, save my nefesh!
12 How shall I repay Hashem for all His benefits to me?
13 I will raise the Kos Yeshu’ot (the Cup of Salvation), and call upon Hashem b’Shem (by Name).
14 I will fulfill my nederim (vows) now in the presence of all His people.
15 Precious in the eyes of Hashem is the mavet of His Chasidim.
16 O Hashem, truly I am Thy eved; I am Thy eved, ben amatecha (the son of Thy maid servant); Thou hast removed my chains.
17 I will sacrifice to Thee the zevach todah (the thanksgiving offering) and will call on the Shem Hashem.
18 I will fulfill my nederim to Hashem now in the presence of all His people.
19 In the khatzerot Beis Hashem, in the midst of thee, O Yerushalayim. Praise ye Hashem.
26 In that day shall this shir (song) be sung in Eretz Yehudah; We have an Ir Oz (a city of strength); Yeshuah (salvation) is that which He makes [its] chomot (walls) and outer wall.
2 Open ye the She’arim, that the Goy Tzaddik (right-with-G-d people) which is shomer emunim (keeping faith) may enter in.
3 Thou wilt keep him in shalom shalom, whose yetzer (mind-set) is stayed on Thee; because he trusteth in Thee.
4 Trust ye in Hashem forever; for in G-d Hashem is Tzur Olamin;
13 Therefore, tighten the "readiness" gartel of your mind, a mind that is one of kibush hayetzer (self-control). Set your tikvah completely on the Chen v’Chesed Hashem that is being brought to you at the Hisgalus (Revelation, Apocalypse) of Moshiach Yehoshua.
14 As Bnei Mishma’at (Children of Obedience 1:2), not conforming yourselves to your former ta’avot (lusts), when you lacked da’as (personal, saving knowledge),
15 But, als (since) the One who bestows on you the kri’ah (calling) is KADOSH HU (TEHILLIM 99:5), so also yourselves become Kadoshim in hitnahagut (conduct),
16 Because it says in the Torah, KEDOSHIM TIH’YU KI KADOSH ANI ("You must be holy ones for I am holy" VAYIKRA 19:2).
