Psalms
Chapter 145
1. A psalm
of praise by David: I will exalt You, my G-d the King, and bless Your Name
forever. 2. Every day I will bless You, and extol Your Name forever. 3. The
Lord is great and exceedingly exalted; there is no limit to His greatness. 4.
One generation to another will laud Your works, and tell of Your mighty acts.
5. I will speak of the splendor of Your glorious majesty and of Your wondrous
deeds. 6. They will proclaim the might of Your awesome acts, and I will recount
Your greatness. 7. They will express the remembrance of Your abounding
goodness, and sing of Your righteousness. 8. The Lord is gracious and
compassionate, slow to anger and of great kindness. 9. The Lord is good to all,
and His mercies extend over all His works. 10. Lord, all Your works will give
thanks to You, and Your pious ones will bless You. 11. They will declare the
glory of Your kingdom, and tell of Your strength, 12. to make known to men His
mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of His kingdom. 13. Your kingship is a
kingship over all worlds, and Your dominion is throughout all generations. 14.
The Lord supports all who fall, and straightens all who are bent. 15. The eyes
of all look expectantly to You, and You give them their food at the proper
time. 16. You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing. 17.
The Lord is righteous in all His ways, and benevolent in all His deeds. 18. The
Lord is close to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. 19.
He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him, hears their cry and delivers
them. 20. The Lord watches over all who love Him, and will destroy all the
wicked. 21. My mouth will utter the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless
His holy Name forever.
Chapter 146
1. Praise
the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul. 2. I will sing to the Lord with my soul;
I will chant praises to my G-d while I yet exist. 3. Do not place your trust in
nobles, nor in mortal man who has not the ability to bring deliverance. 4. When
his spirit departs, he returns to his earth; on that very day, his plans come
to naught. 5. Fortunate is he whose help is the G-d of Jacob, whose hope rests
upon the Lord his G-d. 6. He makes the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all
that is in them; He keeps His promise faithfully forever. 7. He renders justice
to the oppressed; He gives food to the hungry; the Lord releases those who are
bound. 8. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; the Lord straightens those who
are bowed; the Lord loves the righteous. 9. The Lord watches over the
strangers; He gives strength to orphan and widow; He thwarts the way of the
wicked. 10. The Lord shall reign forever, your G-d, O Zion, throughout all
generations. Praise the Lord!
Chapter 147
1. Praise
the Lord! Sing to our G-d for He is good; praise befits Him for He is pleasant.
2. The Lord is the rebuilder of Jerusalem; He will gather the banished of
Israel. 3. He heals the broken-hearted, and bandages their wounds. 4. He counts
the number of the stars; He gives a name to each of them. 5. Great is our
Master and abounding in might; His understanding is beyond reckoning. 6. The
Lord strengthens the humble; He casts the wicked to the ground. 7. Lift your
voices to the Lord in gratitude; sing to our G-d with the harp. 8. He covers
the heaven with clouds; He prepares rain for the earth, and makes grass grow
upon the mountains. 9. He gives the animal its food, to the young ravens which
cry to Him. 10. He does not desire [those who place their trust in] the
strength of the horse, nor does He want those who rely upon the thighs [swiftness]
of man. 11. He desires those who fear Him, those who long for His kindness. 12.
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; Zion, extol your G-d. 13. For He has strengthened
the bolts of your gates; He has blessed your children in your midst. 14. He has
made peace within your borders; He satiates you with the finest of wheat. 15.
He issues His command to the earth; swiftly does His word run. 16. He dispenses
snow like fleece; He scatters frost like ashes. 17. He hurls His ice like
morsels; who can withstand His cold? 18. He sends forth His word and melts
them; He causes His wind to blow, and the waters flow. 19. He tells His words
[Torah] to Jacob, His statutes and ordinances to Israel. 20. He has not done so
for other nations, and they do not know [His] ordinances. Praise the Lord!
Tikkun
HaKlali
Chapter 137
4. "How shall we sing the song of the Lord on foreign soil?"
5. If I
forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget [its skill].
6. May my
tongue cling to my palate, if I do not remember you, if I do not bring up
Jerusalem at the beginning of my joy.
Psalm 89
50. Where
are Your former acts of kindness, O Lord, which You swore to David in your
trust?
