PSALMS
Chapter 28
1. By David. I call to You, O Lord; my Strength, do
not be deaf to me; for should You be silent to me, I will be like those who
descend to the pit. 2. Hear the sound of my pleas when I cry out to You, when I
raise my hands toward Your holy Sanctuary. 3. Do not draw me along with the
wicked, with evildoers who speak of peace with their companions, though evil is
in their heart. 4. Give them according to their deeds, and the evil of their
endeavors; give them according to their handiwork, render to them their just
deserts. 5. For they pay no heed to the acts of the Lord, nor to the work of
His hands; may He destroy them and not rebuild them. 6. Blessed is the Lord,
for He has heard the voice of my pleas. 7. The Lord is my strength and my
shield; in Him my heart trusted and I was helped; my heart exulted, and with my
song I praised Him. 8. The Lord is a strength to them; He is a stronghold of
deliverance to His anointed. 9. Grant salvation to Your people and bless Your
heritage; tend them and exalt them forever.
Chapter 29
1. A psalm by David. Render to the Lord, children of
the mighty, render to the Lord honor and strength. 2. Render to the Lord the
honor due to His Name; bow down to the Lord in resplendent holiness. 3. The
voice of the Lord is over the waters, the G-d of glory thunders; the Lord is
over mighty waters. 4. The voice of the Lord resounds with might; the voice of
the Lord resounds with majesty. 5. The voice of the Lord breaks cedars; the
Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon. 6. He makes them leap like a calf, Lebanon
and Sirion like a young wild ox. 7. The voice of the Lord strikes flames of
fire. 8. The voice of the Lord makes the desert tremble; the Lord causes the
desert of Kadesh to tremble. 9. The voice of the Lord causes the does to calve,
and strips the forests bare; and in His Sanctuary all proclaim His glory. 10.
The Lord sat [as King] at the Flood; the Lord will sit as King forever. 11. The
Lord will give strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with
peace.
Chapter 30
1. A psalm, a song of dedication of the House, by
David. 2. I exalt You, Lord, for You have uplifted me, and did not allow my
enemies to rejoice over me. 3. Lord, my G-d, I cried out to You, and You healed
me. 4. Lord, You have brought up my soul from the grave; You have kept me
alive, that I should not descend to the pit. 5. Sing to the Lord, you His pious
ones, and praise His holy Name. 6. For His wrath endures but for a moment, when
He is conciliated there is [long] life; when one retires at night weeping, joy
will come in the morning. 7. In my security I thought, "I shall never
falter.” 8. Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; when
You concealed Your countenance I was alarmed. 9. I called to You, O Lord, and I
made supplication to my Lord: 10. What profit is there in my death, in my going
down to the grave? Can dust praise You? Can it proclaim Your truth 11. Lord,
hear and be gracious to me; Lord, be a help to me. 12. You have turned my
mourning into dancing; You have undone my sackcloth and girded me with joy. 13.
Therefore my soul shall sing to You, and not be silent; Lord my G-d, I will
praise You forever.
TIKKUN HAKLALI
Chapter 41
9. "Let his wickedness pour into him; now
that he lies down, he shall rise no more.” 10. Even my ally in whom I
trusted, who ate of my bread, has raised his heel over me. 11. But
you, Lord, be gracious to me and raise me up, and I will repay them.
PSALM
89
11. You crushed Rahav (Egypt) like a corpse; with
Your powerful arm You scattered Your enemies.
