Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
29 (Mizmor of Dovid) Ascribe unto Hashem, O ye bnei elim (sons of the mighty), ascribe unto Hashem kavod and oz (strength).
2 Ascribe unto Hashem the Kavod Shmo; worship Hashem in the Hadrat Kodesh (beauty of holiness).
3 The voice of Hashem is upon the waters; El HaKavod thundereth; Hashem is over the mayim rabbim.
4 The voice of Hashem is in Ko’ach; the voice of Hashem is in hadar (majesty).
5 The voice of Hashem breaketh the cedars; Hashem breaketh the cedars of the Levanon.
6 He maketh them also to skip like an egel (calf); Levanon and Siryon, like a young reimim (wild ox).
7 The voice of Hashem hews out with flashes of eish.
8 The voice of Hashem shaketh the midbar; Hashem shaketh the Midbar Kadesh.
9 The voice of Hashem causes the deer to calve, and strips bare the ye’arot (forests); and in His Heikhal doth everyone say, Kavod!
10 Hashem sitteth upon the mabbul (flood); yea, Hashem sitteth enthroned as Melech l’olam.
11 Hashem will give oz (strength) unto His people; Hashem will bless His people with shalom.
39 Wilt thou hunt the teref for the lioness, or fill the appetite of her whelps,
40 When they crouch in their me’onot (dens), and abide in the lair to lie in ambush?
41 Who provideth for the raven his food? When his young ones cry unto El, they wander about for lack of okhel.
39 Dost thou have da’as of the et (time) when the mountain goats give birth, or art thou shomer to watch when the doe bears her fawn?
2 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil, or dost thou have da’as of the et (time) when they give birth?
3 They crouch down, they bring forth their yeledim, their chavalim (birth pains) are cast off in riddance.
4 Their banim gain strength, they grow up in the bar (open, wild); they go forth, and return not unto them.
5 Who hath sent out the pere (wild donkey) free, or who hath untied the ropes of the arod (wild donkey, onager),
6 Whose bais I have made the aravah, and the barren land his mishkenot (dwellings)?
7 He laughs at the tumult of the kiryah (city), neither regardeth he the shouts of the driver.
8 The range of the harim is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
9 Will the wild ox be willing to be thy eved, or stay the night by thy evus (animal feeding trough)?
10 Canst thou bind the wild ox to the furrow with a rope, or will it behind thee till the amakim (valleys)?
11 Wilt thou depend on him, because his ko’ach is great, or wilt thou hand over thy heavy work to him?
12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring in thy zera (grain), and gather it into thy goren (threshing floor)?
12 Now I do not want you to lack da’as concerning the things of the Ruach Hakodesh, Achim b’Moshiach.
2 You have da’as that when you WERE Goyim [T.N. i.e., you are no longer heathen pagans], somehow you were influenced and led astray to the ELILIM ILLEMIM ("Dumb idols, idols incapable of speech" CHABAKUK 2:18-19).
3 Therefore, I make known to you that no one speaking by the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem says, "Al Yehoshua ki Cherem hu" ("a curse of the ban of destruction is on Yehoshua"), and no one is able to say, "Yehoshua hu HaAdon" except by the Ruach Hakodesh.
