הַיּוֹם יוֹם רִאשׁוֹן בַּשַּׁבָּת שֶׁבּוֹ הָיוּ הַלְ֒וִיִּם אוֹמְ֒רִים בְּבֵית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ:
Today is the first day of the week, on which the Levites used to recite in the Holy Temple:
לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר לַיהוָֹה הָאָֽרֶץ וּמְ֒לוֹאָהּ תֵּבֵל וְיֽשְׁ֒בֵי בָהּ: כִּי הוּא עַל יַמִּים יְסָדָהּ וְעַל נְהָרוֹת יְכוֹנְ֒נֶֽהָ: מִי יַעֲלֶה בְהַר יְהֹוָה וּמִי יָקוּם בִּמְ֒קוֹם קָדְשׁוֹ: נְקִי כַפַּֽיִם וּבַר לֵבָב אֲשֶׁר לֺא נָשָׂא לַשָּׁוְא נַפְשִׁי וְלֺא נִשְׁבַּע לְמִרְמָה: יִשָּׂא בְרָכָה מֵאֵת יְהֹוָה וּצְ֒דָקָה מֵאֱלֺהֵי יִשְׁעוֹ: זֶה דּוֹר דּוֹרְ֒שָׁיו מְבַקְ֒שֵׁי פָנֶֽיךָ יַעֲקֹב סֶֽלָה: שְׂאוּ שְׁעָרִים רָאשֵׁיכֶם וְהִנָּשְׂ֒אוּ פִּתְ֒חֵי עוֹלָם וְיָבוֹא מֶֽלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד: מִי זֶה מֶֽלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד יְהֹוָה עִזּוּז וְגִבּוֹר יְהֹוָה גִּבּוֹר מִלְחָמָה: שְׂאוּ שְׁעָרִים רָאשֵׁיכֶם וּשְׂ֒אוּ פִּתְ֒חֵי עוֹלָם וְיָבוֹא מֶֽלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד: מִי הוּא זֶה מֶֽלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת הוּא מֶֽלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד סֶֽלָה:
A psalm of David: the earth is YEHOVAH's and the fullness thereof, the inhabited world and those who dwell in it. For HE founded it upon the seas, and established it upon rivers. WHO may ascend the mountain of YEHOVAH, and who may stand in the place of HIS holiness? The clean of hands and the pure of heart, who has not borne My soul in vain, and has not sworn deceitfully. HE will bear YEHOVAH's blessing and righteousness from the GOD of his deliverance. This is the generation of those who seek Him, the seekers of YOUR Presence, [GOD of] Jacob, Selah. Lift up your heads, gates, and be uplifted [you] entranceways to eternity, so that the King of Glory may enter. WHO is this King of Glory? YEHOVAH, strong and mighty; YEHOVAH, the Mighty One in battle. Lift up your heads, gates, and lift, entranceways to eternity, so that the King of Glory may enter. WHO is HE, this King of Glory? YEHOVAH of hosts, HE is the King of Glory, Selah.

הַיּוֹם יוֹם שֵׁנִי בַּשַּׁבָּת שֶׁבּוֹ הָיוּ הַלְ֒וִיִּם אוֹמְ֒רִים בְּבֵית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ:
Today is the second day of the week, on which the Levites used to recite in the Holy Temple:
שִׁיר מִזְמוֹר לִבְנֵי קֹֽרַח: גָּדוֹל יְהֹוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד בְּעִיר אֱלֺהֵֽינוּ הַר קָדְשׁוֹ: יְפֵה נוֹף מְשׂוֹשׂ כָּל הָאָֽרֶץ הַר צִיּוֹן יַרְכְּתֵי צָפוֹן קִרְיַת מֶֽלֶךְ רָב: אֱלֺהִים בְּאַרְמְנוֹתֶֽיהָ נוֹדַע לְמִשְׂגָּב: כִּי הִנֵּה הַמְּ֒לָכִים נוֹעֲדוּ עָבְ֒רוּ יַחְדָּו: הֵֽמָּה רָאוּ כֵּן תָּמָֽהוּ נִבְהֲלוּ נֶחְפָּֽזוּ: רְעָדָה אֲחָזָֽתַם שָׁם חִיל כַּיּוֹלֵדָה: בְּרֽוּחַ קָדִים תְּשַׁבֵּר אֳנִיּוֹת תַּרְשִׁישׁ: כַּאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַֽעְנוּ כֵּן רָאִֽינוּ בְּעִיר יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת בְּעִיר אֱלֺהֵֽינוּ אֱלֺהִים יְכוֹנְ֒נֶֽהָ עַד עוֹלָם סֶֽלָה: דִּמִּֽינוּ אֱלֺהִים חַסְדֶּֽךָ בְּקֶֽרֶב הֵיכָלֶֽךָ: כְּשִׁמְךָ אֱלֺהִים כֵּן תְּהִלָּתְ֒ךָ עַל קַצְוֵי אֶֽרֶץ צֶֽדֶק מָלְ֒אָה יְמִינֶֽךָ: יִשְׂמַח הַר צִיּוֹן תָּגֵֽלְנָה בְּנוֹת יְהוּדָה לְמַֽעַן מִשְׁפָּטֶֽיךָ: סֹֽבּוּ צִיּוֹן וְהַקִּיפֽוּהָ סִפְ֒רוּ מִגְדָּלֶֽיהָ: שִֽׁיתוּ לִבְּ֒כֶם לְחֵילָה פַּסְּ֒גוּ אַרְמְ֒נוֹתֶֽיהָ לְמַֽעַן תְּסַפְּ֒רוּ לְדוֹר אַחֲרוֹן: כִּי זֶה אֱלֺהִים אֱלֺהֵֽינוּ עוֹלָם וָעֶד הוּא יְנַהֲגֵֽנוּ עַל מוּת:
A song, a psalm by the sons of Korach. YEHOVAH is great and highly extolled in the city of our GOD, the mountain of HIS Sanctuary. Beautiful in its panoramic vista, the joy of all the earth is Mount Zion, on the northern extremities (of Jerusalem); the city of the great King. For behold, the kings assembled, they passed by together. They saw and were astounded, they panicked and fled in haste. Trembling siezed them there, like the pangs of a woman in labor. With an east wind YOU smashed the ships of Tarshish. As we heard, so we saw in the city of YEHOVAH of hosts, in the city of our GOD; may GOD establish it for eternity, Selah. We hoped, GOD, for YOUR lovingkindness in the midst of YOUR Sanctuary. As YOUR Name, GOD, so is YOUR praise—to the ends of the earth; YOUR right hand is full of righteousness. Let Mount Zion rejoice, let the daughters of Judah exult, because of YOUR judgments. Rally around Zion and encircle her, count her towers. Consider well her ramparts, raise high her citadels, that you may recount it to future generations. That this is GOD, our GOD forever and ever, HE will lead us like children.

הַיּוֹם יוֹם שְׁלִישִׁי בַּשַּׁבָּת שֶׁבּוֹ הָיוּ הַלְ֒וִיִּם אוֹמְ֒רִים בְּבֵית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ:
Today is the third day of the week, on which the Levites used to recite in the Holy Temple:
מִזְמוֹר לְאָסָף אֱלֺהִים נִצָּב בַּעֲדַת אֵל בְּקֶֽרֶב אֱלֺהִים יִשְׁפֹּט: עַד מָתַי תִּשְׁפְּטוּ עָֽוֶל וּפְ֒נֵי רְשָׁעִים תִּשְׂ֒אוּ סֶֽלָה: שִׁפְ֒טוּ דָל וְיָתוֹם עָנִי וָרָשׁ הַצְדִּֽיקוּ: פַּלְּ֒טוּ דַל וְאֶבְיוֹן מִיַּד רְשָׁעִים הַצִּֽילוּ: לֺא יָדְ֒עוּ וְלֺא יָבִֽינוּ בַּחֲשֵׁכָה יִתְהַלָּֽכוּ יִמּֽוֹטוּ כָּל מֽוֹסְ֒דֵי אָֽרֶץ: אֲנִי אָמַֽרְתִּי אֱלֺהִים אַתֶּם וּבְ֒נֵי עֶלְיוֹן כֻּלְּ֒כֶם: אָכֵן כְּאָדָם תְּמוּתוּן וּכְ֒אַחַד הַשָּׂרִים תִּפֹּֽלוּ: קוּמָה אֱלֺהִים שָׁפְ֒טָה הָאָרֶץ כִּי אַתָּה תִנְחַל בְּכָל הַגּוֹיִם:
A psalm of Assaf. GOD stands in the congregation of the Almighty, in the midst of the judges HE gives judgement. How long will you judge lawlessly and show partiality to the wicked forever? Render justice to the lowly and the orphan, deal righteously with the poor and destitute. Rescue the lowly and the needy, save them from the hand of the wicked. They neither know nor understand, they walk along in darkness, all the foundations of the earth are shaken. I had said "YOU are godlike beings, all of you, sons of the Most High." Nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. Arise, GOD, judge the earth, for YOU will inherit all the nations.

Today is the fourth day of the week, on which the Levites used to recite in the Holy Temple:
אֵל נְקָמוֹת יְהֹוָה אֵל נְקָמוֹת הוֹפִֽיעַ: הִנָּשֵׂא שֹׁפֵט הָאָֽרֶץ הָשֵׁב גְּמוּל עַל גֵּאִים: עַד מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יְהֹוָה עַד מָתַי רְשָׁעִים יַעֲלֺֽזוּ: יַבִּֽיעוּ יְדַבְּ֒רוּ עָתָק יִתְאַמְּ֒רוּ כָּל פֹּֽעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן: עַמְּ֒ךָ יְהֹוָה יְדַכְּ֒אוּ וְנַחֲלָתְ֒ךָ יְעַנּוּ: אַלְמָנָה וְגֵר יַהֲרֹֽגוּ וִיתוֹמִים יְרַצֵּֽחוּ: וַיֹּאמְ֒רוּ לֺא יִרְאֶה יָהּ וְלֺא יָבִין אֱלֺהֵי יַעֲקֹב: בִּֽינוּ בֹּעֲרִים בָּעָם וּכְ֒סִילִים מָתַי תַּשְׂכִּֽילוּ: הֲנֹֽטַע אֹֽזֶן הֲלֺא יִשְׁמָע אִם יוֹצֵר עַֽיִן הֲלֺא יַבִּיט: הֲיֹסֵר גּוֹיִם הֲלֺא יוֹכִֽיחַ הַמְ֒לַמֵּד אָדָם דָּֽעַת: יְהֹוָה יֹדֵֽעַ מַחְשְׁ֒בוֹת אָדָם כִּי הֵֽמָּה הָֽבֶל: אַשְׁרֵי הַגֶּֽבֶר אֲשֶׁר תְּיַסְּ֒רֶֽנּוּ יָהּ וּמִתּוֹרָתְ֒ךָ תְלַמְּ֒דֶֽנּוּ: לְהַשְׁקִיט לוֹ מִֽימֵי רָע עַד יִכָּרֶה לָרָשָׁע שָֽׁחַת: כִּי לֺא יִטּשׁ יְהֹוָה עַמּוֹ וְנַחֲלָתוֹ לֺא יַעֲזֹב: כִּי עַד צֶֽדֶק יָשׁוּב מִשְׁפָּט וְאַחֲרָיו כָּל יִשְׁ֒רֵי לֵב: מִי יָקוּם לִי עִם מְרֵעִים מִי יִתְיַצֵּב לִי עִם פֹּֽעֲלֵי אָֽוֶן: לוּלֵי יְהֹוָה עֶזְרָֽתָה לִּי כִּמְ֒עַט שָׁכְ֒נָה דוּמָה נַפְשִׁי: אִם אָמַֽרְתִּי מָֽטָה רַגְלִי חַסְדְּ֒ךָ יְהֹוָה יִסְעָדֵֽנִי: בְּרֹב שַׂרְעַפַּי בְּקִרְבִּי תַּנְחוּמֶֽיךָ יְשַׁעַשְׁ֒עוּ נַפְשִׁי: הַיְ֒חָבְרְךָ כִּסֵּא הַוָּוֹת יֹצֵר עָמָל עֲלֵי חֹק: יָגֽוֹדּוּ עַל נֶֽפֶשׁ צַדִּיק וְדָם נָקִי יַרְשִֽׁיעוּ: וַיְ֒הִי יְהֹוָה לִי לְמִשְׂגָּב וֵאלֺהַי לְצוּר מַחְסִי: וַיָּֽשֶׁב עֲלֵיהֶם אֶת אוֹנָם וּבְ֒רָעָתָם יַצְמִיתֵם יַצְמִיתֵם יְהֹוָה אֱלֺהֵֽינוּ: לְכוּ נְרַנְּ֒נָה לַיהוָֹה נָרִֽיעָה לְצוּר יִשְׁעֵֽנוּ: נְקַדְּ֒מָה פָנָיו בְּתוֹדָה בִּזְמִרוֹת נָרִֽיעַ לוֹ: כִּי אֵל גָּדוֹל יְהֹוָה וּמֶֽלֶךְ גָּדוֹל עַל כָּל אֱלֺהִים:
Almighty of vengeance, YEHOVAH, Almighty of vengeance, reveal YOURSELF. Arise Judge of the earth, repay the arrogant their just reward. How long shall the wicked— YEHOVAH— how long shall the wicked exult? They express, they speak with arrogance; all the evildoers are boastful. YEHOVAH, they crush YOUR people and YOUR heritage they oppress. The widow and stranger they kill, and orphans they murder. And they say, "GOD does not see, the GOD of Jacob is not concerned." Consider, [you] stupid [ones] among the people,— and you fools when will you become wise? HE WHO implanted the ear, does HE not hear? HE WHO formed the eye, does HE not see? HE WHO chastises nations, does HE not reprove— HE that teaches man knowledge? YEHOVAH knows the thoughts of men, that they are vanity. Fortunate is the man whom YOU chastise, GOD, and whom YOU instruct from YOUR Torah. To grant him tranquility from days of evil, until the pit is dug for the wicked. for YEHOVAH will not abandon HIS people and HIS inheritance, HE will not forsake. For justice shall return unto righteousness, and all the upright in heart will follow it. WHO will rise up for me against the wicked, who will stand up for me against the evildoers? Had YEHOVAH not been my help, in an instant my soul would have dwelt in the silent grave. If [Whenever] I said, my foot has slipped, YOUR kindliness, YEHOVAH upheld me. When (worrisome) thoughts multiply within me, YOUR consolations soothe my soul. Can a tribunal of evil have accord with YOU— [a tribunal] that makes iniquity into law? They gang up against the life of the righteous, and blood of the innocent they condemn. YEHOVAH has been my stronghold, my GOD the Rock of my refuge. HE turns their violence against them, and with their own wickedness destroys them; YEHOVAH, my GOD, destroys them. Come let us sing to YEHOVAH; let us shout for joy to the Rock of our Deliverance. Let us greet Him with thanksgiving; with song let us shout for joy to Him. For a great Almighty is YEHOVAH; a great King over all godlike beings.

הַיּוֹם יוֹם חֲמִישִׁי בַּשַּׁבָּת שֶׁבּוֹ הָיוּ הַלְ֒וִיִּם אוֹמְ֒רִים בְּבֵית הַמִּקְדָּשׁ:
Today is the fifth day of the week, on which the Levites used to recite in the Holy Temple:
לַמְנַצֵּֽחַ עַל הַגִּתִּית לְאָסָף: הַרְנִֽינוּ לֵאלֺהִים עֻזֵּנוּ הָרִֽיעוּ לֵאלֺהֵי יַעֲקֹב: שְׂאוּ זִמְרָה וּתְ֒נוּ תֹף כִּנּוֹר נָעִים עִם נָֽבֶל: תִּקְ֒עוּ בַחֹֽדֶשׁ שׁוֹפָר בַּכֶּֽסֶה לְיוֹם חַגֵּֽנוּ: כִּי חֹק לְיִשְׂרָאֵל הוּא מִשְׁפָּט לֵאלֺהֵי יַעֲקֹב: עֵדוּת בִּיהוֹסֵף שָׂמוֹ בְּצֵאתוֹ עַל אֶֽרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם שְׂפַת לֺא יָדַֽעְתִּי אֶשְׁמָע: הֲסִירֽוֹתִי מִסֵּֽבֶל שִׁכְמוֹ כַּפָּיו מִדּוּד תַּעֲבֹֽרְ֒נָה: בַּצָּרָה קָרָֽאתָ וָאֲחַלְּ֒צֶֽךָ אֶעֶנְךָ בְּסֵֽתֶר רַֽעַם אֶבְחָנְ֒ךָ עַל מֵי מְרִיבָה סֶֽלָה: שְׁמַע עַמִּי וְאָעִֽידָה בָּךְ יִשְׂרָאֵל אִם תִּשְׁמַע לִי: לֺא יִהְיֶה בְךָ אֵל זָר וְלֺא תִשְׁתַּחֲוֶה לְאֵל נֵכָר: אָנֹכִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֺהֶֽיךָ הַמַּעַלְ֒ךָ מֵאֶֽרֶץ מִצְרָֽיִם הַרְחֶב פִּֽיךָ וַאֲמַלְ֒אֵֽהוּ: וְלֺא שָׁמַע עַמִּי לְקוֹלִי וְיִשְׂרָאֵל לֺא אָֽבָה לִי: וָאֲשַׁלְּ֒חֵֽהוּ בִּשְׁרִירוּת לִבָּם יֵלְ֒כוּ בְּמוֹעֲצוֹתֵיהֶם: לוּ עַמִּי שֹׁמֵֽעַ לִי יִשְׂרָאֵל בִּדְ֒רָכַי יְהַלֵּֽכוּ: כִּמְ֒עַט אוֹיְ֒בֵיהֶם אַכְנִֽיעַ וְעַל צָרֵיהֶם אָשִׁיב יָדִי: מְשַׂנְ֒אֵי יְהֹוָה יְכַחֲשׁוּ לוֹ וִיהִי עִתָּם לְעוֹלָם: וַיַּאֲכִילֵֽהוּ מֵחֵֽלֶב חִטָּה וּמִצּוּר דְּבַשׁ אַשְׂבִּיעֶֽךָּ:
To Him WHO grants victory—upon the Gittis, a psalm of Assaf: Sing joyously to GOD, our strength, shout for joy to the GOD of Jacob. Take up the hymn, sound the drum, the pleasant harp and the lute. Blow the shofar on the Rosh Chodesh, at the appointed time for our festive day. For it is a statute for Israel, a [day of] judgement of the GOD of Jacob. As a testimony for Yehosef, HE ordained it when he went out over the land of Egypt, [where] an unfamiliar language I heard. From the burden, I removed his shoulder, his hands were removed from the cauldron. In distress you called out, and I released you, I answered you [though you called] in secret [I answered you] thunderously; I tested you at the waters of Merivah. Selah. Hear, MY people, I will testify about you, Israel, if you would just listen to ME. Let no strange god be within you, nor bow before a foreign god. I am YEHOVAH, your GOD, WHO brought you up from the land of Egypt, open your mouth wide, and I will fill it. But MY people did not heed MY voice, and Israel did not want Me. So I sent them to follow their heart's desires, let them follow their own devices. If only MY people would heed ME, if Israel would walk in MY ways. I would immediately subdue their enemies, and turn MY hand against their tormentors. Those who cause hate of YEHOVAH deceive [pretend obedience to] HIM, but their time (of punishment) will be forever. But HE would feed him (Israel) from the cream of the wheat, and from the rock, I would sate you with honey.

Today is the sixth day of the week, on which the Levites used to recite in the Holy Temple:
יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ גֵּאוּת לָבֵשׁ לָבֵשׁ יְהֹוָה עֹז הִתְאַזָּר אַף תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל תִּמּוֹט: נָכוֹן כִּסְאֲךָ מֵאָז מֵעוֹלָם אָֽתָּה: נָשְׂ֒אוּ נְהָרוֹת יְהֹוָה נָשְׂ֒אוּ נְהָרוֹת קוֹלָם יִשְׂ֒אוּ נְהָרוֹת דָּכְיָם: מִקֹּלוֹת מַֽיִם רַבִּים אַדִּירִים מִשְׁבְּ֒רֵי יָם אַדִּיר בַּמָּרוֹם יְהֹוָה: עֵדֹתֶֽיךָ נֶאֶמְ֒נוּ מְאֹד לְבֵיתְ֒ךָ נָאֲוָה קֹֽדֶשׁ יְהֹוָה לְאֹֽרֶךְ יָמִים:
YEHOVAH has begun HIS reign, with majesty HE has clothed HIMSELF; YEHOVAH clothed HIMSELF, with strength HE has girded HIMSELF; HE has firmly established the world, so that it cannot be moved. YOUR throne stands firm from of old, YOU are from eternity. The rivers have raised—YEHOVAH— the rivers have raised their voice, the rivers raise their raging waves. More than the roar of many waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea, mighty on high are YOU "YEHOVAH." YOUR testimonies are extremely faithful; holiness is becoming to YOUR House, YEHOVAH,—for the length of days.
הוֹשִׁיעֵֽנוּ אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעֵֽנוּ וְקַבְּ֒צֵֽנוּ וְהַצִּילֵֽנוּ מִן־הַגּוֹיִם לְהוֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם קָדְשֶֽׁךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּֽחַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ: בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן־הָעוֹלָם וְעַד הָעֹלָם וְאָמַר כָל־הָעָם אָמֵן הַלְ֒לוּיָה. בָּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה מִצִּיּוֹן שֹׁכֵן יְרוּשָׁלָֽיִם הַלְ֒לוּיָהּ: בְּרוּךְ יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהִים אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל עֹשֵׂה נִפְלָאוֹת לְבַדּוֹ: וּבָרוּךְ שֵׁם כְּבוֹדוֹ לְעוֹלָם וְיִמָּלֵא כְבוֹדוֹ אֶת־כָּל־הָאָרֶץ אָמֵן וְאָמֵן:
Deliver us, GOD of our deliverance; gather us and save us from the nations to give thanks to YOUR holy Name, to be extolled in YOUR praise. Blessed is YEHOVAH, the GOD of Israel for all eternity, and all the people said: "Amen" Praise GOD. Blessed is YEHOVAH from Zion, WHO dwells in Jerusalem. Praise GOD. Blessed is YEHOVAH, GOD, GOD of Israel WHO alone performs wonders. And blessed is the Name of HIS glory forever, and may HIS glory fill the whole earth. Amen and Amen!
