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):
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.
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.
Sunday, May 11, 2014
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):
35. I will not abrogate My covenant, nor change that which has issued from My lips.
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

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.

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.

103
David's
prayer when he was ill, this psalm is an appropriate prayer on behalf of the
sick, especially when offered by the sick person himself while his soul is yet
in his body. He can then bless G-d from his depths, body and soul. Read, and
find repose for your soul.
1. By David. Bless the
Lord, O my soul; and all my being, His holy Name. 2. My soul, bless the Lord;
forget not all His favors: 3. Who forgives all your sins, Who heals all your
illnesses; 4. Who redeems your life from the grave, Who crowns you with
kindness and mercy; 5. Who satisfies your mouth with goodness; like the eagle,
your youth is renewed. 6. The Lord executes righteousness and justice for all
the oppressed. 7. He made His ways known to Moses, His deeds to the Children of
Israel. 8. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and of great
kindness. 9. He will not contend for eternity, nor harbor ill will forever. 10.
He has not dealt with us according to our transgressions, nor requited us
according to our sins. 11. For as high as heaven is above the earth, so has His
kindness been mighty over those who fear Him. 12. As far as the east is from
the west, so has He distanced our transgressions from us. 13. As a father has
compassion on his children, so has the Lord had compassion on those who fear
Him. 14. For He knows our nature; He is mindful that we are but dust. 15. As
for man, his days are like grass; like a flower of the field, so he sprouts.
16. When a wind passes over him, he is gone; his place recognizes him no more.
17. But the kindness of the Lord is forever and ever upon those who fear Him,
and His righteousness is [secured] for children's children, 18. to those who
keep His covenant, and to those who remember His commands to do them. 19. The
Lord has established His throne in the heavens, and His kingship has dominion
over all. 20. Bless the Lord, you His angels who are mighty in strength, who do
His bidding to obey the voice of His speech. 21. Bless the Lord, all His hosts,
His servants who do His will. 22. Bless the Lord, all His works, in all the
places of His dominion. My soul, bless the Lord!

This
psalm tells of the beauty of creation, describing that which was created on
each of the six days of creation. It proclaims the awesomeness of G-d Who
sustains it a ll-from the horns of the wild ox to the eggs of the louse.
1. My soul, bless the
Lord! Lord my G-d, You are greatly exalted; You have garbed Yourself with
majesty and splendor. 2. You enwrap [Yourself] with light as with a garment;
You spread the heavens as a curtain. 3. He roofs His heavens with water; He
makes the clouds His chariot, He moves [them] on the wings of the wind. 4. He
makes the winds His messengers, the blazing fire His servants. 5. He
established the earth on its foundations, that it shall never falter. 6. The
depths covered it as a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. 7. At
Your exhortation they fled; at the sound of Your thunder they rushed away. 8.
They ascended mountains, they flowed down valleys, to the place which You have
assigned for them. 9. You set a boundary which they may not cross, so that they
should not return to engulf the earth. 10. He sends forth springs into streams;
they flow between the mountains. 11. They give drink to all the beasts of the
field; the wild animals quench their thirst. 12. The birds of the heavens dwell
beside them; they raise their voice from among the foliage. 13. He irrigates
the mountains from His clouds above; the earth is satiated from the fruit of
Your works. 14. He makes grass grow for the cattle, and vegetation requiring
the labor of man to bring forth food from the earth; 15. and wine that gladdens
man's heart, oil that makes the face shine, and bread that sustains man's
heart. 16. The trees of the Lord drink their fill, the cedars of Lebanon which
He planted, 17. wherein birds build their nests; the stork has her home in the
cypress. 18. The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge
for the rabbits. 19. He made the moon to calculate the festivals; the sun knows
its time of setting. 20. You bring on darkness and it is night, when all the
beasts of the forest creep forth. 21. The young lions roar for prey, and seek
their food from G-d. 22. When the sun rises, they return and lie down in their
dens. 23. Then man goes out to his work, to his labor until evening. 24. How
manifold are Your works, O Lord! You have made them all with wisdom; the earth
is full of Your possessions. 25. This sea, vast and wide, where there are
countless creeping creatures, living things small and great; 26. there ships
travel, there is the Leviathan that You created to frolic therein. 27. They all
look expectantly to You to give them their food at the proper time. 28. When
You give it to them, they gather it; when You open Your hand, they are satiated
with goodness. 29. When You conceal Your countenance, they are terrified; when
You take back their spirit, they perish and return to their dust. 30. When You
will send forth Your spirit they will be created anew, and You will renew the
face of the earth. 31. May the glory of the Lord be forever; may the Lord find
delight in His works. 32. He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches
the mountains, and they smoke. 33. I will sing to the Lord with my soul; I will
chant praise to my G-d with my [entire] being. 34. May my prayer be pleasant to
Him; I will rejoice in the Lord. 35. May sinners cease from the earth, and the
wicked be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul! Praise the Lord!
Chapter 105
When
David brought the Holy Ark up to the City of David, he composed this psalm and
sang it before the Ark. He recounts all the miracles that G-d performed for the
Jews in Egypt: sending before them Joseph, who was imprisoned, only to be
liberated by G-d, eventually attaining the status of one who could imprison the
princes of Egypt without consulting Pharaoh.
1. Offer praise to the
Lord, proclaim His Name; make His deeds known among the nations. 2. Sing to
Him, chant praises to Him, speak of all His wonders. 3. Glory in His holy Name;
may the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice. 4. Search for the Lord and
His might; seek His countenance always. 5. Remember the wonders that He has
wrought, His miracles, and the judgments of His mouth. 6. O descendants of
Abraham His servant, children of Jacob, His chosen ones: 7. He is the Lord our G-d;
His judgments extend over the entire earth. 8. He remembers His covenant
forever, the word which He has commanded to a thousand generations; 9. the
covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac. 10. He established
it for Jacob as a statute, for Israel as an everlasting covenant, 11. stating,
"To you I shall give the land of Canaan"-the portion of your
inheritance, 12. when they were but few, very few, and strangers in it. 13.
They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. 14. He
permitted no one to wrong them, and admonished kings for their sake: 15.
"Do not touch my anointed ones, and do not harm my prophets.” 16. He
called for a famine upon the land; he broke every source of bread. 17. He sent
a man before them; Joseph was sold as a slave. 18. They afflicted his foot with
chains, his soul was put into iron; 19. until the time that His words came, the
decree of the Lord purified him. 20. The king sent [word] and released him, the
ruler of nations set him free. 21. He appointed him master of his house and
ruler of all his possessions, 22. to imprison his princes at will, and to
enlighten his elders. 23. Thus Israel came to Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the
land of Ham (Egypt). 24. He multiplied His nation greatly, and made it mightier
than its adversaries. 25. He turned their hearts to hate His nation, to
conspire against His servants. 26. He sent Moses, His servant; Aaron, whom He
had chosen. 27. They placed among them the words of His signs, miracles in the
land of Ham. 28. He sent darkness and made it dark, and they did not defy His
word. 29. He transformed their waters to blood, and killed their fish. 30.
Their land swarmed with frogs in the chambers of their kings. 31. He spoke, and
hordes of wild beasts came, and lice throughout their borders. 32. He turned
their rains to hail, flaming fire in their land; 33. it struck their vine and
fig tree, it broke the trees of their borders. 34. He spoke, and grasshoppers
came, locusts without number; 35. and it consumed all grass in their land, it
ate the fruit of their soil. 36. Then He smote every firstborn in their land,
the first of all their potency. 37. And He took them out with silver and gold,
and none among His tribes stumbled. 38. Egypt rejoiced at their leaving, for
the fear [of Israel] had fallen upon them. 39. He spread out a cloud for
shelter, and a fire to illuminate the night. 40. [Israel] asked, and He brought
quail, and with the bread of heaven He satisfied them. 41. He opened a rock and
waters flowed; they streamed through dry places like a river, 42. for He
remembered His holy word to Abraham His servant. 43. And He brought out His
nation with joy, His chosen ones with song. 44. He gave them the lands of
nations, they inherited the toil of peoples, 45. so that they might keep His
statutes and observe His laws. Praise the Lord!

Chapter 106
The
psalmist continues the theme of the previous psalm, praising G-d for performing
other miracles not mentioned previously, for "who can recount the mighty
acts of G-d?" Were we to try, we could not mention them all!
1. Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting. 2. Who can
recount the mighty acts of the Lord, or proclaim all His praises? 3. Fortunate
are those who preserve justice, who perform deeds of righteousness all the
time. 4. Remember me, Lord, when You find favor with Your people; be mindful of
me with Your deliverance; 5. to behold the prosperity of Your chosen, to
rejoice in the joy of Your nation, to glory with Your inheritance. 6. We have
sinned as did our fathers, we have acted perversely and wickedly. 7. Our
fathers in Egypt did not contemplate Your wonders, they did not remember Your
abundant kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, at the Sea of Reeds. 8. Yet
He delivered them for the sake of His Name, to make His strength known. 9. He
roared at the Sea of Reeds and it dried up; He led them through the depths, as
through a desert. 10. He saved them from the hand of the enemy, and redeemed
them from the hand of the foe. 11. The waters engulfed their adversaries; not
one of them remained. 12. Then they believed in His words, they sang His praise.
13. They quickly forgot His deeds, they did not wait for His counsel; 14. and
they lusted a craving in the desert, they tested G-d in the wilderness. 15. And
He gave them their request, but sent emaciation into their souls. 16. They
angered Moses in the camp, and Aaron, the Lord's holy one. 17. The earth opened
and swallowed Dathan, and engulfed the company of Abiram; 18. and a fire burned
in their assembly, a flame set the wicked ablaze. 19. They made a calf in
Horeb, and bowed down to a molten image. 20. They exchanged their Glory for the
likeness of a grass-eating ox. 21. They forgot G-d, their savior, Who had
performed great deeds in Egypt, 22. wonders in the land of Ham, awesome things
at the Sea of Reeds. 23. He said that He would destroy them-had not Moses His
chosen one stood in the breach before Him, to turn away His wrath from
destroying. 24. They despised the desirable land, they did not believe His
word. 25. And they murmured in their tents, they did not heed the voice of the
Lord. 26. So He raised His hand [in oath] against them, to cast them down in
the wilderness, 27. to throw down their progeny among the nations, and to
scatter them among the lands. 28. They joined themselves to [the idol] Baal
Peor, and ate of the sacrifices to the dead; 29. they provoked Him with their
doings, and a plague broke out in their midst. 30. Then Phineas arose and
executed judgment, and the plague was stayed; 31. it was accounted for him as a
righteous deed, through all generations, forever. 32. They angered Him at the
waters of Merivah, and Moses suffered on their account; 33. for they defied His
spirit, and He pronounced [an oath] with His lips. 34. They did not destroy the
nations as the Lord had instructed them; 35. rather, they mingled with the
nations and learned their deeds. 36. They worshipped their idols, and they
became a snare for them. 37. They sacrificed their sons and daughters to
demons. 38. They spilled innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land became guilty with
blood. 39. They were defiled by their deeds, and went astray by their actions.
40. And the Lord's wrath blazed against His people, and He abhorred His
inheritance; 41. so He delivered them into the hands of nations, and their
enemies ruled them. 42. Their enemies oppressed them, and they were subdued
under their hand. 43. Many times did He save them, yet they were rebellious in
their counsel and were impoverished by their sins. 44. But He saw their
distress, when He heard their prayer; 45. and He remembered for them His
covenant and He relented, in keeping with His abounding kindness, 46. and He
caused them to be treated mercifully by all their captors. 47. Deliver us, Lord
our G-d; gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to Your Holy
Name and glory in Your praise. 48. Blessed is the Lord, the G-d of Israel,
forever and ever. And let all the people say, "Amen! Praise the
Lord!"
Chapter
107
This
psalm speaks of those who are saved from four specific perilous
situations(imprisonment, sickness, desert travel, and sea travel) and must
thank G-d, for their sins caused their troubles, and only by the kindness of G-d
were they saved. It is therefore appropriate that they praise G-d and tell of
their salvation to all.
1. Give thanks to the
Lord for He is good, for His kindness is everlasting. 2. So shall say those
redeemed by the Lord, those whom He redeemed from the hand of the oppressor. 3.
He gathered them from the lands-from east and from west, from north and from
the sea. 4. They lost their way in the wilderness, in the wasteland; they found
no inhabited city. 5. Both hungry and thirsty, their soul languished within
them. 6. They cried out to the Lord in their distress; He delivered them from
their afflictions. 7. He guided them in the right path to reach an inhabited
city. 8. Let them give thanks to the Lord, and [proclaim] His wonders to the
children of man, 9. for He has satiated a thirsting soul, and filled a hungry
soul with goodness. 10. Those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
bound in misery and chains of iron, 11. for they defied the words of G-d and
spurned the counsel of the Most High- 12. He humbled their heart through
suffering; they stumbled and there was none to help. 13. They cried out to the
Lord in their distress; He saved them from their afflictions. 14. He brought
them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and sundered their bonds. 15. Let
them give thanks to the Lord for His kindness, and [proclaim] His wonders to
the children of man, 16. for He broke the brass gates and smashed the iron
bars. 17. Foolish sinners are afflicted because of their sinful ways and their
wrongdoings. 18. Their soul loathes all food, and they reach the gates of
death. 19. They cried out to the Lord in their distress; He saved them from
their afflictions. 20. He sent forth His command and healed them; He delivered
them from their graves. 21. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His kindness,
and [proclaim] His wonders to the children of man. 22. Let them offer
sacrifices of thanksgiving, and joyfully recount His deeds. 23. Those who go
down to the sea in ships, who perform tasks in mighty waters; 24. they saw the
works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep. 25. He spoke and caused the
stormy wind to rise, and it lifted up the waves. 26. They rise to the sky,
plunge to the depths; their soul melts in distress. 27. They reel and stagger
like a drunkard, all their skill is to no avail. 28. They cried out to the Lord
in their distress, and He brought them out from their calamity. 29. He
transformed the storm into stillness, and the waves were quieted. 30. They
rejoiced when they were silenced, and He led them to their destination. 31. Let
them give thanks to the Lord for His kindness, and [proclaim] His wonders to
the children of man. 32. Let them exalt Him in the congregation of the people,
and praise Him in the assembly of the elders. 33. He turns rivers into desert,
springs of water into parched land, 34. a fruitful land into a salt-marsh,
because of the wickedness of those who inhabit it. 35. He turns a desert into a
lake, and parched land into springs of water. 36. He settles the hungry there,
and they establish a city of habitation. 37. They sow fields and plant
vineyards which yield fruit and wheat. 38. He blesses them and they multiply
greatly, and He does not decrease their cattle. 39. [If they sin,] they are
diminished and cast down through oppression, misery, and sorrow. 40. He pours
contempt upon distinguished men, and causes them to stray in a pathless
wilderness. 41. He raises the needy from distress, and makes their families [as
numerous] as flocks. 42. The upright observe this and rejoice, and all the
wicked close their mouth. 43. Let him who is wise bear these in mind, and then
the benevolent acts of the Lord will be understood.

A song, a psalm by David. 2. My heart is steadfast, O G-d; I will sing and
chant praises even with my soul. 3. Awake, O lyre and harp; I shall awaken the
dawn. 4. I will thank You among the nations, Lord; I will sing praises to You
among the peoples. 5. Indeed, Your kindness reaches above the heavens; Your
truth reaches to the skies. 6. Be exalted upon the heavens, O G-d, [show] Your
glory upon all the earth. 7. That Your beloved ones may be delivered, help with
Your right hand and answer me. 8. G-d spoke in His holiness that I would exult,
I would divide portions [of the enemies' land], I would measure the Valley of
Succot. 9. Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, and Ephraim is the stronghold of
my head, Judah is my prince. 10. Moab is my washbasin, I will cast my shoe upon
Edom, I will shout over Philistia. 11. Who brings me to the fortified city? Who
led me unto Edom? 12. Is it not G-d, Who has [until now] forsaken us, and did
not go forth, O G-d, with our armies? 13. Give us help against the adversary;
futile is the help of man. 14. Through G-d we will do valiantly, and He will
trample our oppressors.
