Book of Common Prayer

113 Praise ye Hashem. Praise O ye avadim of Hashem, praise the Shem of Hashem.

² Blessed be the Shem of Hashem from this time forth and forevermore.

³ From the rising of the shemesh unto the going down of the same the Shem of Hashem is to be praised.

⁴ Hashem is high above kol Goyim, and His kavod above HaShomayim.

⁵ Who is like unto Hashem Eloheinu, Who dwelleth on high,

⁶ Who stoopeth down to behold the things that are in Shomayim, and in ha’aretz!

⁷ He raiseth up the poor out of the aphar (dust), and lifteth the needy out of the ash heap;

⁸ That he may seat him with princes, even with the princes of amo (His people).

⁹ He settleth the akeret (barren woman) in her bais to be a happy em of banim. Praise ye Hashem.

122 (Shir HaMa’alot, [Song of Ascents] of Dovid). I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the Bais Hashem.

² Our feet shall stand within thy she’arim, O Yerushalayim.

³ Yerushalayim is built as an Ir bound firmly together;

⁴ That is where the Shevatim (tribes) go up, the Shivtei Hashem, according to the edut l’Yisroel (the statute to Yisroel), to give thanks unto the Shem of Hashem.

⁵ For there are set kise’ot l’mishpat (thrones of judgment), the kise’ot of the Bais Dovid.

⁶ Sha’alu shalom Yerushalayim (pray for the peace of Jerusalem); they shall prosper that love thee.

⁷ Shalom be within thy wall, and security within thy citadels.

⁸ L’ma’an (for the sake of) my achim and companions, I will now say, Shalom be within thee.

⁹ L’ma’an the Bais Hashem Eloheinu I will seek thy tov.

²⁰ And it came to pass in due time, after Channah had conceived, that she bore a ben, and called his name Shmuel (Heard of G-d) saying, Because from Hashem I have asked for him.

²¹ And the man Elkanah, and all his bais, went up to offer unto Hashem the zevach hayamim (sacrifice of the days), and his neder (vow).

²² But Channah went not up; for she said unto her husband, I will not go up until the child be weaned, and then I will bring him, that he may appear before Hashem, and there abide forever.

²³ And Elkanah her husband said unto her, Do what seemeth thee good; tarry until thou have weaned him; only Hashem make good (establish) His devar. So the isha stayed, and nursed her ben until she weaned him.

²⁴ And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her, with three bulls, and one ephah of flour, and a skin of yayin, and brought him unto the Bais Hashem in Shiloh; and the child was young.

²⁵ And they slaughtered a bull, and brought the child to Eli.

²⁶ And she said, Oh adoni, as thy nefesh liveth, adoni, I am the isha that stood by thee here, davening unto Hashem.

²⁷ For this child I davened; and Hashem hath given me my petition which I asked of Him;

²⁸ Therefore also I make him one lent to Hashem; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to Hashem. And he worshiped Hashem there.

¹⁴ For as many as are led by the Ruach HaElohim, they are bnei HaElohim.

¹⁵ For you did not receive a spirit of avdut, falling back into pachad (fear); but you received the Ruach of Mishpat HaBanim (Adoption), having Ma’amad HaBanim (the standing as Sons [9:4]), by which we cry, "Abba, Avinu"!

¹⁶ The Ruach Hakodesh himself bears eidus (witness) with our [regenerate, Yn 3:6] ruach that we are bnei HaElohim.

¹⁷ And if bnei HaElohim, then also yoreshim (heirs) of G-d and co-heirs (Ro 4:13) together with Moshiach, provided that we suffer with him in order that we might also be set in kavod (glory, eschatological glorification) with him.

¹⁸ For I reckon that the yisurim (suffering) of zman hazeh (of this present time) are not to be compared with the coming kavod (glory) to be revealed in us.

¹⁹ For the eager expectation of HaBri’ah (the Creation) awaits the heavenly hisgalus (revelation, unveiling) of the bnei HaElohim.

²⁰ For HaBri’ah (the Creation) was subjected to hevel (futility), not willingly, but on account of Him who subjected it, in tikvah (hope),

²¹ Because HaBri’ah also itself will be set free from the avdut (slavery) of corruption into the deror (freedom YESHAYAH 61:1) of the kavod (glory) of the bnei HaElohim.
