Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

²⁴ Hashem, how manifold are Thy ma’asim! In chochmah (wisdom; cf Psa 33:6; Yn 1:1) hast Thou made them all; ha’aretz is full of Thy creatures.

²⁵ So is this gadol (great) and rekhav (wide, spacious) yam (sea), wherein are remes (creeping things), innumerable swarming chayyot (creatures), ketanot and gedolot.

²⁶ There go the oniyyot (ships); there is that Leviathan, whom Thou hast made lesakhek (to play, to sport, to frolic) therein.

²⁷ These wait all upon Thee; that Thou mayest give them their ochel (food) in due season.

²⁸ That Thou givest them they gather; Thou openest Thine yad, they are satisfied with tov.

²⁹ Thou hidest Thy face, they are troubled; Thou takest away their ruach, they expire, and return to their aphar.

³⁰ Thou sendest forth Thy Ruach [Hakodesh], they are created; and Thou renewest the face of adamah (earth).

³¹ The Kavod Hashem shall endure l’olam; Hashem shall rejoice in His ma’asim (works).

³² He looketh on ha’aretz, and it trembleth; He toucheth the harim, and they smoke.

³³ I will sing unto Hashem as long as I live; I will sing praise to Elohai while I have my being.

³⁴ May my si’akh (musing, meditation) be acceptable to Him; I will have simchah in Hashem.

³⁵ Let the chatta’im (sinners) be consumed from ha’aretz, and let the resha’im (wicked) be no more. Baruch Hashem, O my nefesh. Praise Hashem!

⁷ So will I make Shem Kodshi (Name of My Holiness, Holy Name) known in the midst of My people Yisroel; and I will not let them profane Shem Kodshi (Name of My Holiness, Holy Name) any more: and the Goyim shall know that I am Hashem Kadosh b’Yisroel.

⁸ Hinei, it is coming, and it shall be done, saith Adonoi Hashem; this is the day whereof I have spoken.

²¹ And I will set My Kavod among the Goyim, and kol HaGoyim shall see My mishpat that I have executed, and My yad that I have laid upon them.

²² So Bais Yisroel shall know that I am Hashem Eloheihem from that day and forward.

²³ And the Goyim shall know that Bais Yisroel went into the Golus for their avon; because they were unfaithful to Me; therefore hid I My face from them, and gave them into the yad of their enemies; so fell they all by the cherev.

²⁴ According to their tumah and according to their peysha’im have I dealt with them, and hid My face from them.

²⁵ Therefore thus saith Adonoi Hashem: Now will I bring back the captives of Ya’akov, and have compassion upon kol Bais Yisroel, and will be jealous for Shem Kodshi (Name of My Holiness, Holy Name);

²⁶ After that they have borne their shame, and all their unfaithfulness whereby they have been unfaithful against Me, when they dwelt securely in their adamah, and none made them afraid.

²⁷ When I have brought them back from the nations, and regathered them out of the lands of their oyevim, and am set apart as kodesh through them in the sight of Goyim rabbim;

²⁸ Then shall they know that I am Hashem Eloheihem, Who caused them to be led into the Golus among the Goyim; but I have regathered them unto their own adamah (land), and have left none of them behind any more in the Golus.

²⁹ Neither will I hide My face any more from them; for I have poured out My Ruach upon Bais Yisroel, saith Adonoi Hashem.

²⁶ In the same way, the Ruach Hakodesh helps us in our weakness (as creatures: see Ro 5:6). For as we daven, we do not know as we should for what to make tefillos (prayers), but the Ruach HaKodesh Himself intercedes on our behalf with labor pang groans not intelligibly uttered.

²⁷ And Hashem who searches the levavot knows what is the way of thinking of the Ruach Hakodesh, because He intercedes as G-d would have it on behalf of the Kadoshim.
