Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

8 (For the one directing. According to the gittit. Mizmor of Dovid). Hashem Adoneinu, how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha’aretz Who hast set Thy glory above HaShomayim.

^2 (3) Out of the mouth of olelim and infants hast Thou established strength because of Thine enemies, that Thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

^3 (4) When I consider Thy heavens, the ma’asim of Thy fingers, the yarei’ach and the kokhavim, which Thou hast ordained;

^4 (5) What is enosh (mankind), that Thou art mindful of him? And the ben adam, that Thou visitest him?

^5 (6) For Thou hast made him a little lower than elohim [or Elohim, Gn 1:27], and hast crowned him with kavod and hadar.

^6 (7) Thou madest him to have dominion over the ma’asim of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:

^7 (8) All sheep and oxen, yea, and the behemot sadeh;

^8 (9) The fowl of the air, and the dag (fish) of the yam, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.

^9 (10) Hashem Adoneinu, how excellent is Shimecha in kol ha’aretz!

38 Then Hashem answered Iyov out of the whirlwind, and said,

² Who is this that darkeneth etzah (counsel) with words without da’as?

³ Gird up now thy loins like a gever; for I will ask of thee, and thou wilt answer Me.

⁴ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of eretz? Tell, if thou hast binah.

⁵ Who hath drafted the dimensions thereof, if thou hast da’as? Or who hath stretched a measuring line across it?

⁶ Whereupon are the foundations thereof set? Or who laid the even-pinnah (cornerstone) thereof

⁷ When the kokhvei boker sang together, and all the Bnei Elohim shouted for joy?

⁸ Or who shut up the yam behind doors? Who brought it forth, issuing out of the rekhem (womb)

⁹ When I made the anan the garment thereof, and thick darkness its swaddling band,

¹⁰ And fixed bounds for it, and set bars and dlatot (doors),

¹¹ And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; and poh (here) shall thy proud waves be stopped?

⁸ Do not, therefore, be ashamed of the eidus of Adoneinu nor of me, his asir (prisoner), but suffer together with me for the Besuras HaGeulah in the ko’ach of Hashem,

⁹ The one having granted us Yeshu’at Eloheinu and having called us with a kri’ah kedoshah (holy calling), not according to the ma’asim mitzvot of us but according to his own tachlis (purpose) and chesed having been given to us in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua before Yamim HaOlam,

¹⁰ But having been manifested now through the appearing of Moshieynu Moshiach Yehoshua, who nullified death [i.e., his own histalkus and Mavet itself] and also brought Chayyim and al-killayon (incorruptibility) to light through the Besuras HaGeulah,

¹¹ For which I was appointed a karoz (herald), a maggid (darshan, preacher), a Shliach and a rabbi (teacher).

¹² It is because of these things also that I suffer. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed and I have been persuaded that He is able to stand shomer, guarding [preserving] until HaYom HaHu the [orthodox Jewish, see 1Ti 6:20] pikkadon (deposit) entrusted to Him by me.
