Week 31 (Book 6): Reviewing the First Week of Iyar - Psalms 91-93; 90:11-13; 89:32

PSALMS (Introductions and Translations from Chabad.org):

Chapter 91

This psalm inspires the hearts of the people to seek shelter under the wings of the Divine Presence. It also speaks of the four seasons of the year, and their respective ministering powers, instructing those who safeguard their souls to avoid them.

1. You who dwells in the shelter of the Most High, who abides in the shadow of the Omnipotent: 2. I say of the Lord who is my refuge and my stronghold, my G-d in whom I trust, 3. that He will save you from the ensnaring trap, from the destructive pestilence. 4. He will cover you with His pinions and you will find refuge under His wings; His truth is a shield and an armor. 5. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day; 6. the pestilence that prowls in the darkness, nor the destruction that ravages at noon. 7. A thousand may fall at your [left] side, and ten thousand at your right, but it shall not reach you. 8. You need only look with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of the wicked. 9. Because you [have said,] "The Lord is my shelter," and you have made the Most High your haven, 10. no evil will befall you, no plague will come near your tent. 11. For He will instruct His angels in your behalf, to guard you in all your ways. 12. They will carry you in their hands, lest you injure your foot upon a rock. 13. You will tread upon the lion and the viper; you will trample upon the young lion and the serpent. 14. Because he desires Me, I will deliver him; I will fortify him, for he knows My Name. 15. When he calls on Me, I will answer him; I am with him in distress. I will deliver him and honor him. 16. I will satiate him with long life, and show him My deliverance.

Chapter 92

Sung every Shabbat by the Levites in the Holy Temple, this psalm speaks of the World to Come, and comforts the hearts of those crushed by suffering.

1. A psalm, a song for the Shabbat day. 2. It is good to praise the Lord, and to sing to Your Name, O Most High; 3. to proclaim Your kindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness in the nights, 4. with a ten-stringed instrument and lyre, to the melody of a harp. 5. For You, Lord, have gladdened me with Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hand. 6. How great are Your works, O Lord; how very profound Your thoughts! 7. A brutish man cannot know, a fool cannot comprehend this: 8. When the wicked thrive like grass, and all evildoers flourish-it is in order that they may be destroyed forever. 9. But You, Lord, are exalted forever. 10. Indeed, Your enemies, O Lord, indeed Your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered. 11. But You have increased my might like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil. 12. My eyes have seen [the downfall of] my watchful enemies; my ears have heard [the doom of] the wicked who rise against me. 13. The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, grow tall like a cedar in Lebanon. 14. Planted in the House of the Lord, they shall blossom in the courtyards of our G-d. 15. They shall be fruitful even in old age; they shall be full of sap and freshness- 16. to declare that the Lord is just; He is my Strength, and there is no injustice in Him.

Chapter 93

This psalm speaks of the Messianic era, when G-d will don grandeur-allowing no room for man to boast before Him as did Nebuchadnezzar, Pharaoh, and Sennacherib.

1. The Lord is King; He has garbed Himself with grandeur; the Lord has robed Himself, He has girded Himself with strength; He has also established the world firmly that it shall not falter. 2. Your throne stands firm from of old; You have existed forever. 3. The rivers have raised, O Lord, the rivers have raised their voice; the rivers raise their raging waves. 4. More than the sound of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea, is the Lord mighty on High. 5. Your testimonies are most trustworthy; Your House will be resplendent in holiness, O Lord, forever.

Chapter 90

11. Who can know the intensity of Your anger? Your wrath is commensurate with one's fear of You. 
12. Teach us, then, to reckon our days, that we may acquire a wise heart. 
13. Relent, O Lord; how long [will Your anger last]? Have compassion upon Your servants.

PSALM 89

32. if they profane My statutes and do not observe My commandments, 

Week 32 (Book 6): Reviewing the Second Week of Iyar - Psalms 94-96; 90:14-16; 89:33

PSALMS (Introductions and Translations from Chabad.org):

Chapter 94

An awe-inspiring and wondrous prayer with which every individual can pray for the redemption. It is also an important moral teaching.

1. The Lord is a G-d of retribution; O G-d of retribution, reveal Yourself! 2. Judge of the earth, arise; render to the arrogant their recompense. 3. How long shall the wicked, O Lord, how long shall the wicked exult? 4. They continuously speak insolently; all the evildoers act arrogantly. 5. They crush Your people, O Lord, and oppress Your heritage. 6. They kill the widow and the stranger, and murder the orphans. 7. And they say, "The Lord does not see, the G-d of Jacob does not perceive.” 8. Understand, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you become wise? 9. Shall He who implants the ear not hear? Shall He who forms the eye not see? 10. Shall He who chastises nations not punish? Shall He who imparts knowledge to man [not know]? 11. The Lord knows the thoughts of man, that they are naught. 12. Fortunate is the man whom You chastise, O Lord, and instruct him in Your Torah, 13. bestowing upon him tranquillity in times of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked. 14. For the Lord will not abandon His people, nor forsake His heritage. 15. For judgment shall again be consonant with justice, and all the upright in heart will pursue it. 16. Who would rise up for me against the wicked ones; who would stand up for me against the evildoers? 17. Had the Lord not been a help to me, my soul would have soon dwelt in the silence [of the grave]. 18. When I thought that my foot was slipping, Your kindness, O Lord, supported me. 19. When my [worrisome] thoughts multiply within me, Your consolation delights my soul. 20. Can one in the seat of evil, one who makes iniquity into law, consort with You? 21. They band together against the life of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood. 22. The Lord has been my stronghold; my G-d, the strength of my refuge. 23. He will turn their violence against them and destroy them through their own wickedness; the Lord, our G-d, will destroy them.

Chapter 95

This psalm speaks of the future, when man will say to his fellow, "Come, let us sing and offer praise to G-d for the miracles He has performed for us!"

1. Come, let us sing to the Lord; let us raise our voices in jubilation to the Rock of our deliverance. 2. Let us approach Him with thanksgiving; let us raise our voices to Him in song. 3. For the Lord is a great G-d, and a great King over all supernal beings; 4. in His hands are the depths of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are His. 5. Indeed, the sea is His, for He made it; His hands formed the dry land. 6. Come, let us prostrate ourselves and bow down; let us bend the knee before the Lord, our Maker. 7. For He is our G-d, and we are the people that He tends, the flock under His [guiding] hand-even this very day, if you would but hearken to His voice! 8. Do not harden your heart as at Merivah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness, 9. where your fathers tested Me; they tried Me, though they had seen My deeds. 10. For forty years I quarreled with that generation; and I said, "They are a people of erring hearts, they do not know My ways.” 11. So I vowed in My anger that they would not enter My resting place.

Chapter 96

The time will yet come when man will say to his fellow: "Come, let us sing to G-d!"

1. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. 2. Sing to the Lord, bless His Name; proclaim His deliverance from day to day. 3. Recount His glory among the nations, His wonders among all the peoples. 4. For the Lord is great and highly praised; He is awesome above all G-ds. 5. For all the G-ds of the nations are naught, but the Lord made the heavens. 6. Majesty and splendor are before Him, might and beauty in His Sanctuary. 7. Render to the Lord, O families of nations, render to the Lord honor and might. 8. Render to the Lord honor due to His Name; bring an offering and come to His courtyards. 9. Bow down to the Lord in resplendent holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth. 10. Proclaim among the nations, "The Lord reigns"; indeed, the world is firmly established that it shall not falter; He will judge the peoples with righteousness. 11. The heavens will rejoice, the earth will exult; the sea and its fullness will roar. 12. The fields and everything therein will jubilate; then all the trees of the forest will sing. 13. Before the Lord [they shall rejoice], for He has come, for He has come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with His truth. 

TIKKUN HAKLALI

Chapter 90

14. Satiate us in the morning with Your kindness, then we shall sing and rejoice throughout our days. 
15. Give us joy corresponding to the days You afflicted us, the years we have seen adversity. 
16. Let Your work be revealed to Your servants, and Your splendor be upon their children. 

PSALM 89

33. then I will punish their transgression with the rod and their misdeeds with plagues.

Week 33 (Book 6): Reviewing the Third Week of Iyar - Psalms 97-99; 90:17, 105:1-2; 89:34

PSALMS (Introductions and Translations from Chabad.org):

Chapter 97

1. When the Lord will reveal His kingship, the earth will exult; the multitudes of islands will rejoice. 2. Clouds and dense darkness will surround Him; justice and mercy will be the foundation of His throne. 3. Fire will go before Him and consume His foes all around. 4. His lightnings will illuminate the world; the earth will see and tremble. 5. The mountains will melt like wax before the Lord, before the Master of all the earth. 6. The heavens will declare His justice, and all the nations will behold His glory. 7. All who worship graven images, who take pride in idols, will be ashamed; all idol worshippers will prostrate themselves before Him. 8. Zion will hear and rejoice, the towns of Judah will exult, because of Your judgments, O Lord. 9. For You, Lord, transcend all the earth; You are exceedingly exalted above all the supernal beings. 10. You who love the Lord, hate evil; He watches over the souls of His pious ones, He saves them from the hand of the wicked. 11. Light is sown for the righteous, and joy for the upright in heart. 12. Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous, and extol His holy Name.

Chapter 98

This psalm describes how Israel will praise G-d for the Redemption.

1. A psalm. Sing to the Lord a new song, for He has performed wonders; His right hand and holy arm have wrought deliverance for Him. 2. The Lord has made known His salvation; He has revealed His justice before the eyes of the nations. 3. He has remembered His kindness and faithfulness to the House of Israel; all, from the farthest corners of the earth, witnessed the deliverance by our G-d. 4. Raise your voices in jubilation to the Lord, all the earth; burst into joyous song and chanting. 5. Sing to the Lord with a harp, with a harp and the sound of song. 6. With trumpets and the sound of the shofar, jubilate before the King, the Lord. 7. The sea and its fullness will roar in joy, the earth and its inhabitants. 8. The rivers will clap their hands, the mountains will sing together. 9. [They will rejoice] before the Lord, for He has come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with righteousness.

Chapter 99

This psalm refers to the wars of Gog and Magog, which will precede the Redemption.

1. When the Lord will reveal His kingship, the nations will tremble; the earth will quake before Him Who is enthroned upon the cherubim, 2. [before] the Lord Who is in Zion, Who is great and exalted above all the peoples. 3. They will extol Your Name which is great, awesome and holy. 4. And [they will praise] the might of the King Who loves justice. You have established uprightness; You have made [the laws of] justice and righteousness in Jacob. 5. Exalt the Lord our G-d, and bow down at His footstool; He is holy. 6. Moses and Aaron among His priests, and Samuel among those who invoke His Name, would call upon the Lord and He would answer them. 7. He would speak to them from a pillar of cloud; they observed His testimonies and the decrees which He gave them. 8. Lord our G-d, You have answered them; You were a forgiving G-d for their sake, yet bringing retribution for their own misdeeds. 9. Exalt the Lord our G-d, and bow down at His holy mountain, for the Lord our G-d is holy. 

TIKKUN HAKLALI

Chapter 90

17. And may the pleasantness of the Lord our G-d be upon us, and the work of our hands establish for us, and the work of our hands establish it.

Chapter 105

1. Give thanks to the Lord, call out in His name; make His deeds known among the peoples.
2. Sing to Him, play music to Him, speak of all His wonders. 

PSALM 89

34. But I shall not cancel My kindness from him, and I shall not betray My faith. 

Week 34 (Book 6): Reviewing the Fourth Week of Iyar - Psalms 100-102; 105:3-5; 89:35

PSALMS (Introductions and Translations from Chabad.org):

Chapter 100

This psalm inspires the hearts of those who suffer in this world. Let them, nevertheless, serve G-d with joy, for all is for their good, as in the verse: "He whom G-d loves does He chastise." The psalm also refers to the thanksgiving sacrifice-the only sacrifice to be offered in the Messianic era.

1. A psalm of thanksgiving. Let all the earth sing in jubilation to the Lord. 2. Serve the Lord with joy; come before Him with exultation. 3. Know that the Lord is G-d; He has made us and we are His, His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4. Enter His gates with gratitude, His courtyards with praise; give thanks to Him, bless His Name. 5. For the Lord is good; His kindness is everlasting, and His faithfulness is for all generations.

Chapter 101         

This psalm speaks of David's secluding himself from others, and of his virtuous conduct even in his own home.

1. By David, a psalm. I will sing of [Your] kindness and justice; to You, O Lord, will I chant praise! 2. I will pay heed to the path of integrity-O when will it come to me? I shall walk with the innocence of my heart [even] within my house. 3. I shall not place an evil thing before my eyes; I despise the doing of wayward deeds, it does not cling to me. 4. A perverse heart shall depart from me; I shall not know evil. 5. He who slanders his fellow in secret, him will I cut down; one with haughty eyes and a lustful heart, him I cannot suffer. 6. My eyes are upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me; he who walks in the path of integrity, he shall minister to me. 7. He that practices deceit shall not dwell within my house; the speaker of lies shall have no place before my eyes. 8. Every morning I will cut down all the wicked of the land, to excise all evildoers from the city of the Lord.

Chapter 102

An awe-inspiring prayer for the exiled, and an appropriate prayer for anyone in distress.

1. A prayer of the poor man when he is faint [with affliction], and pours out his tale of woe before the Lord. 2. O Lord, hear my prayer, let my cry reach You! 3. Hide not Your face from me on the day of my distress; turn Your ear to me; on the day that I call, answer me quickly. 4. For my days have vanished with the smoke; my bones are dried up as a hearth. 5. Smitten like grass and withered is my heart, for I have forgotten to eat my bread. 6. From the voice of my sigh, my bone cleaves to my flesh. 7. I am like the bird of the wilderness; like the owl of the wasteland have I become. 8. In haste I fled; I was like a bird, alone on a roof. 9. All day my enemies disgrace me; those who ridicule me curse using my name.1 10. For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with tears, 11. because of Your anger and Your wrath-for You have raised me up, then cast me down. 12. My days are like the fleeting shadow; I wither away like the grass. 13. But You, Lord, will be enthroned forever, and Your remembrance is for all generations. 14. You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for it is time to be gracious to her; the appointed time has come. 15. For Your servants cherish her stones, and love her dust. 16. Then the nations will fear the Name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth Your glory, 17. when [they see that] the Lord has built Zion, He has appeared in His glory. 18. He turned to the entreaty of the prayerful, and did not despise their prayer. 19. Let this be written for the last generation, so that the newborn nation will praise the Lord. 20. For He looked down from His holy heights; from heaven, the Lord gazed upon the earth, 21. to hear the cry of the bound, to untie those who are doomed to die, 22. so that the Name of the Lord be declared in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem, 23. when nations and kingdoms will gather together to serve the Lord. 24. He weakened my strength on the way; He shortened my days. 25. I would say: "My G-d, do not remove me in the midst of my days! You Whose years endure through all generations.” 26. In the beginning You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. 27. They will perish, but You will endure; all of them will wear out like a garment; You will exchange them like a robe, and they will vanish. 28. But You remain the same; Your years will not end. 29. The children of Your servants will abide; their seed shall be established before You.
