00:01 Speaker 1 To You, O G-d, I must fulfill my vows; I will offer thanks to You. For You have saved my soul from death—indeed, my feet from stumbling—that I may walk before G-d in the light of life. Chapter 69. 69, well, well. For the conductor, on Shoshanim, by David. Save me, O G-d, for the waters have reached my soul. I have sunk in deep mire where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the current sweeps me away. I am weary from calling out; my throat is parched. My eyes fail as I wait for my G-d. Those who hate me without cause are more numerous than the hairs of my head. Those who would destroy me, my lying enemies, are mighty. What I did not steal, must I now repay? O G-d, You know my folly, and my sins are not hidden from You. Let those who hope in You not be shamed because of me, Hashem, G-d of Hosts. Let those who seek You not be disgraced because of me, G-d of Israel. For Your sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face. I have become a stranger to my brothers, a foreigner to my mother’s sons. For zeal for Your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen upon me. I wept as I fasted, and that became a cause for reproach against me. I made sackcloth my clothing, and I became a byword to them. Those who sit at the gate talk about me, and drinkers of strong drink sing about me. But as for me, my prayer is to You, Hashem, at a favorable time. O G-d, in Your abundant kindness, answer me with Your true salvation. Rescue me from the mire and let me not sink; let me be saved from those who hate me and from the deep waters. Let not the current sweep me away, nor the depths swallow me; let not the pit close its mouth over me. Answer me, Hashem, for Your kindness is good; turn to me in Your abundant mercy. Do not hide Your face from Your servant, for I am in distress; answer me quickly. Draw near to my soul and redeem it; save me because of my enemies. You know my reproach, my shame and my disgrace; all my foes are before You. Reproach has broken my heart, and I am gravely ill. I hoped for someone to sympathize, but there was no one; for comforters, but I found none. They put poison in my food, and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. Let their table become a trap before them, and their peace offerings a snare. Let their eyes grow dark so they cannot see, and make their loins continually shake. Pour out Your wrath upon them, and let Your fierce anger overtake them. Let their encampment be desolate; let no one dwell in their tents. For they pursue the one You have struck, and they speak of the pain of those You have wounded. Add sin to their sin, and let them not enter into Your righteousness. Let them be erased from the book of life and not be inscribed with the righteous. But I am poor and in pain; may Your salvation, O G-d, lift me up. I will praise the name of G-d in song and exalt Him with thanksgiving. This will please Hashem more than an ox, a bull with horns and hooves. The humble will see and rejoice; you who seek G-d, may your hearts live. For Hashem hears the needy and does not despise His prisoners. Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and all that moves within them. For G-d will save Zion and build the cities of Judah; they will dwell there and possess it. The descendants of His servants will inherit it, and those who love His name will dwell in it. Chapter 86. A prayer of David. Incline Your ear, Hashem, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my soul, for I am a chossid.
02:53 Speaker 1 Save Your servant, my G-d, who trusts in You. Be gracious to me, Hashem, for I call to You all day. Gladden the soul of Your servant, for to You, Hashem, I lift up my soul. For You, Hashem, are good and forgiving, abundant in kindness to all who call upon You. Listen, Hashem, to my prayer, and heed the voice of my supplications. On the day of my distress I call to You, for You will answer me. There is none like You among the mighty, Hashem, and there are no deeds like Yours. All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, Hashem, and honor Your name. For You are great and work wonders; You alone are G-d. Teach me Your way, Hashem; I will walk in Your truth. Unite my heart to fear Your name. I will thank You, Hashem my G-d, with all my heart, and honor Your name forever. For Your kindness toward me is great, and You have saved my soul from the depths of Sheol. O G-d, arrogant men have risen against me, and a band of ruthless men seek my soul; they have not set You before them. But You, Hashem, are a merciful and gracious G-d, slow to anger and abundant in kindness and truth. Turn to me and be gracious to me; give Your strength to Your servant and save the son of Your maidservant. Show me a sign for good, so that those who hate me will see and be ashamed, for You, Hashem, have helped me and comforted me. Chapter 88. A song, a psalm of the sons of Korach; for the conductor, on Machalas Le’anos; a maskil of Heman the Ezrachite. Hashem, G-d of my salvation, I cry out by day and at night before You. Let my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry. For my soul is filled with troubles, and my life has drawn near to Sheol. I am counted among those who descend to the pit; I am like a man without strength. Cast free among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more and who have been cut off from Your hand. You have placed me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the depths. Your wrath weighs upon me, and You have afflicted me with all Your waves, selah. You have distanced those who know me from me; You have made me an abomination to them. I am shut in and cannot go out. My eye grows dim from affliction. I call to You, Hashem, every day; I spread out my hands to You. Will You work wonders for the dead? Will the departed rise and praise You, selah? Will Your kindness be told in the grave, Your faithfulness in destruction? Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, and Your righteousness in the land of oblivion? But I cry to You, Hashem, and in the morning my prayer comes before You. Why, Hashem, do You reject my soul? Why do You hide Your face from me? I have been afflicted and near death since my youth; I bear Your terrors and am overwhelmed. Your fierce anger has passed over me; Your terrors have destroyed me. They surround me like water all day; together they close in on me. You have distanced friend and companion from me; those who know me are in darkness. Chapter 89. A maskil of Eisan the Ezrachite. I will sing of Hashem’s kindnesses forever.
05:26 Speaker 1 With my mouth I will make Your faithfulness known to every generation. For I said, “Kindness will be built up forever”; in the heavens You establish Your faithfulness. “I have made a covenant with My chosen one; I have sworn to David My servant: I will establish your descendants forever and build your throne for generation after generation, selah.” The heavens praise Your wonders, Hashem, and Your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones. For who in the heavens can be compared to Hashem? Who among the mighty can be likened to Hashem? G-d is greatly revered in the council of the holy ones, awesome above all who surround Him. Hashem, G-d of Hosts, who is mighty like You, Hashem? Your faithfulness surrounds You. You rule over the swelling sea; when its waves rise, You still them. You crushed Rahav like one slain; with Your mighty arm You scattered Your enemies. The heavens are Yours, and the earth is Yours too; You founded the world and all that fills it. North and south, You created them; Tavor and Chermon sing joyfully in Your name. Yours is an arm of might; Your hand is strong, Your right hand is raised high. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; kindness and truth go before You. Fortunate is the people who know the sound of the shofar; Hashem, they walk in the light of Your countenance. In Your name they rejoice all day, and through Your righteousness they are exalted. For You are the glory of their strength, and by Your favor our strength is raised high. For our shield belongs to Hashem, and our king to the Holy One of Israel. Then You spoke in a vision to Your faithful ones and said, “I have placed help upon a mighty man; I have raised up one chosen from the people. I have found David My servant; I have anointed him with My holy oil. My hand will be established with him, and My arm will strengthen him. No enemy will deceive him, nor will a wicked man afflict him. I will crush his foes before him and strike down those who hate him. My faithfulness and My kindness will be with him, and in My name his strength will be raised high. I will set his hand upon the sea and his right hand upon the rivers. He will call to Me, ‘You are my Father, my G-d and the rock of my salvation.’ I will also make him My firstborn, highest of the kings of the earth. I will preserve My kindness for him forever, and My covenant with him will remain faithful. I will establish his descendants forever, and his throne for as long as the heavens endure. If his sons forsake My Torah and do not walk in My judgments, if they profane My statutes and do not keep My commandments, I will punish their transgression with a rod and their sin with afflictions. But I will not withdraw My kindness from him, nor betray My faithfulness. I will not profane My covenant or change what has gone forth from My lips. Once I have sworn by My holiness: I will not lie to David. His descendants will endure forever, and his throne will be like the sun before Me. Like the moon, it will be established forever, a faithful witness in the heavens, selah.” But You have rejected and spurned him; You have been angry with Your anointed one. You have renounced the covenant with Your servant; You have profaned his crown, casting it to the ground. You have broken through all his walls; You have reduced his fortresses to ruins. All who pass by plunder him; he has become a reproach to his neighbors. You have raised the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice. You have also turned back the edge of his sword and have not upheld him in battle. You have brought an end to his splendor and cast his throne to the ground. You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame, selah. How long, Hashem? Will You hide Yourself forever? Will Your wrath burn like fire? Remember how fleeting my life is. For what futility have You created all mankind? What man can live and not see death? Who can save his soul from the hand of Sheol, selah?
07:39 Speaker 1 Where are Your former kindnesses, Hashem, which You swore to David in Your faithfulness? Remember, Hashem, the reproach of Your servants, how I bear in my bosom the reproach of so many peoples, with which Your enemies have reproached us, Hashem, with which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed one. Blessed be Hashem forever. Amen and amen. Chapter 90, verse by verse. A prayer of Moshe, the man of G-d. Hashem, You have been our dwelling place in every generation. Before the mountains were born, before You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting, You are G-d. You return man to dust and say, “Return, children of man.” For a thousand years in Your eyes are like yesterday when it has passed, like a watch in the night. You sweep them away; they are like a dream. In the morning they are like grass that grows. In the morning it blossoms and grows; by evening it is cut down and withers. For we are consumed by Your anger and terrified by Your wrath. You have set our sins before You, our hidden deeds in the light of Your countenance. For all our days pass away under Your fury; we finish our years like a sigh. The years of our lives are seventy years, or, with strength, eighty years; yet their pride is toil and trouble, for they pass swiftly and we fly away. Who knows the power of Your anger, and Your wrath according to the fear due You? Teach us to count our days, so that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Return, Hashem—how long? Have compassion on Your servants. Satisfy us in the morning with Your kindness, and we will sing and rejoice all our days. Gladden us for as many days as You afflicted us, for the years in which we saw evil. Let Your work be seen by Your servants, and Your glory by their children.
12:54 Speaker 2 Chapter 91. Chapter 102.
19:00 Speaker 3 Chapter 119. Hallelujah. Chapter 118. Hashem’s right hand is raised high; Hashem’s right hand works valiantly. I will not die; I will live and recount the deeds of Hashem. Hashem has chastened me severely, but He has not given me over to death. Open for me the gates of righteousness; I will enter them and thank Hashem. This is the gate of Hashem; the righteous will enter through it. I thank You, for You have answered me and become my salvation. The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This came from Hashem; it is wondrous in our eyes. This is the day Hashem has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Please, Hashem, save us now; please, Hashem, grant us success now. Blessed is he who comes in the name of Hashem; we bless you from the house of Hashem. Hashem is G-d, and He has given us light. Bind the festival offering with cords to the horns of the altar. You are my G-d, and I will thank You; my G-d, I will exalt You. Give thanks to Hashem, for He is good; His kindness endures forever. Chapter 142, opening and opening. A maskil of David, a prayer when he was in the cave.
21:30 Speaker 4 A prayer of David when he was in the cave.
21:34 Speaker 3 With my voice I cry out to Hashem; with my voice I plead with Hashem.
21:50 Speaker 4 I cry out to Hashem; I plead with Him.
21:56 Speaker 3 I pour out my prayer before Him; I tell Him of my trouble.
22:06 Speaker 4 I tell Him of my trouble.
22:10 Speaker 3 When my spirit is faint within me, You know my path. On the road where I walk, they have hidden a trap for me.
22:23 Speaker 4 You know my path. On the road where I walk, they have hidden a trap for me.
22:28 Speaker 3 Look to my right and see: no one recognizes me. I have nowhere to flee; no one cares for my soul.
22:41 Speaker 4 Look to my right and see: no one recognizes me. I have nowhere to flee; no one cares for my soul.
22:46 Speaker 3 I cried out to You, Hashem. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
22:59 Speaker 4 I cried out to You, Hashem. I said, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”
23:04 Speaker 3 Listen to my cry, for I have been brought very low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are stronger than I.
23:18 Speaker 4 Listen to my cry, for I have been brought very low. Rescue me from my pursuers, for they are stronger than I.
23:19 Speaker 3 Bring my soul out of confinement so that I may give thanks to Your name. The righteous will gather around me when You deal kindly with me.
23:34 Speaker 4 Bring my soul out of confinement so that I may give thanks to Your name. The righteous will gather around me when You deal kindly with me.
23:39 Speaker 3 143. A psalm of David. Hashem, hear my prayer; listen to my pleas. Answer me in Your faithfulness and Your righteousness. Do not enter into judgment with Your servant, for no living being can be found righteous before You. For the enemy has pursued my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground. He has made me dwell in darkness, like those long dead. My spirit grows faint within me; my heart is desolate inside me. I remember days of old; I meditate on all Your deeds; I reflect on the work of Your hands. I stretch out my hands to You; my soul thirsts for You like parched land, selah. Answer me quickly, Hashem; my spirit is failing. Do not hide Your face from me, or I will be like those who descend into the pit. Let me hear of Your kindness in the morning, for I trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I lift my soul. Rescue me from my enemies, Hashem; in You I seek shelter. Teach me to do Your will, for You are my G-d. May Your good spirit lead me on level ground. For the sake of Your name, Hashem, give me life; in Your righteousness, bring my soul out of distress. In Your kindness, destroy my enemies and bring to an end all who torment my soul, for I am Your servant. 148. Hallelujah. Praise Hashem from the heavens; praise Him in the heights. Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His hosts. Blessed is He. [unclear] Hashem our G-d, G-d of our fathers. Hallelujah. [unclear] Kapitel 119. All together. 119. [unclear]

The great, mighty and awesome G-d, the Most High G-d, Who bestows good kindnesses and possesses all, Who remembers the kindnesses of the fathers and brings a redeemer to their children’s children, for the sake of His name, with love.

Who is like You, Master of mighty deeds, and who can be compared to You, O King Who brings death and gives life and causes salvation to flourish? Blessed are You, Hashem, Who revives the dead. We will sanctify and revere You, as in the beautiful utterance of the holy seraphim, who declare Your holiness three times. As it is written through Your prophet: “And one called to another and said: Holy, holy, holy is Hashem of Hosts; the whole earth is filled with His glory.” Facing them, they offer praise and say: “Blessed is the glory of Hashem from His place.” And in Your holy writings it is said: “Hashem will reign forever; your G-d, O Zion, from generation to generation. Hallelujah.” You are holy, Your name is holy, and the holy ones praise You every day, selah. Blessed are You, Hashem, the holy G-d. You grant knowledge to man and teach understanding to humanity. Grant us wisdom, understanding and knowledge from You. Blessed are You, Hashem, Who grants knowledge.

Blessed are You, Hashem, who gathers the dispersed of His people Israel. Restore our judges as in former times and our advisers as at the beginning; remove sorrow and sighing from us, and reign over us, You alone, Hashem, with kindness and mercy, and vindicate us in judgment.

May all the enemies of Your people be swiftly cut off, and may the wicked kingdom soon be uprooted, broken, crushed and subdued, speedily in our days. Blessed are You, Hashem, who breaks enemies and subdues the arrogant.

Favor Your people Israel, Hashem our G-d, and heed their prayer. Restore the service to the inner sanctuary of Your House, and accept with love and favor the fire offerings of Israel and their prayer. May the service of Your people Israel always be pleasing to You. May our eyes behold Your merciful return to Zion. Blessed are You, Hashem, who restores His Presence to Zion.

Some rely on chariots and some on horses, but we invoke the name of Hashem our G-d. They bowed and fell, but we rose and stood firm. Hashem, save us; may the King answer us on the day we call. Psalm 121, verse by verse. A song for ascents. I lift my eyes to the mountains: from where will my help come? My help comes from Hashem, Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip. Your Guardian will not slumber. Indeed, the Guardian of Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps. Hashem is your Guardian; Hashem is your shade at your right hand. The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. Hashem will guard you from all evil; He will guard your soul. Hashem will guard your going out and your coming in, from now and forever. Psalm 130, verse by verse. A song of ascents. From the depths I have called to You, Hashem. Hashem, hear my voice; let Your ears be attentive to the sound of my pleas. If You keep account of sins, Hashem, who could stand? But forgiveness is with You, so that You may be revered. I hope in Hashem; my soul hopes, and I await His word. My soul waits for Hashem more than watchmen wait for morning, watchmen for morning. Let Israel hope in Hashem, for kindness is with Hashem, and with Him is abundant redemption. And He will redeem Israel from all its sins. Psalm 150, verse by verse. Hallelujah. Praise G-d in His sanctuary. Praise Him in the firmament of His strength. Praise Him for His mighty deeds.

Praise Him with resounding cymbals. Praise Him with clashing cymbals. Let every soul praise Hashem. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Hear our voice, Hashem our G-d.

Do not cast us away in old age; when our strength fails, do not forsake us. Do not cast us away in old age; when our strength fails, do not forsake us.

27:00 Speaker 9 Good afternoon in Crown Heights. And to everyone in the Holy Land. We are very pleased to pass on further good and heartening news about the Rebbe shlita’s health. Today is the third day of a good recovery. It has been a good recovery, physically and spiritually. Today the doctors found continued good progress in the Rebbe’s health. They hope, and we are also certain, that with Hashem’s help the progress will be even greater and stronger. Today it was also possible to convey questions and requests to the Rebbe, and it was a great privilege to receive replies to letters. We hope there will be further opportunities during the day to ask questions and receive answers. His spirits are, thank G-d, very good, but... Yasher koach! Yasher koach! Rabbi Moshe Drezinsky will come up for “Jerusalem, where the Beis Hamikdash will be rebuilt.” Reb Moshe. The chazzan Reb Moshe. A brief translation of what was said, without taking responsibility for its accuracy, because I didn’t write it down. Briefly, today is Tuesday, the day on which “it was good” was said twice, and the good news, too, has been doubled. The Rebbe’s recovery and health are progressing well, doubly well. The Rebbe answered many questions over the course of the day, and we hope there will be more opportunities today to bring questions and notes to the Rebbe for him to answer. The doctors are pleased with the progress in the Rebbe’s health. At the same time, the Rebbe’s secretariat, the Rebbe’s household, asks everyone to continue praying until we merit to hear the complete good news of the Rebbe shlita’s complete recovery very soon, together with much, much good news. That is the brief translation. The vocational school in Kiryat Malachi.

Oh, Rabbi Pressman! Rabbi Pressman, “May it be Your will that the Beis Hamikdash be rebuilt.” The chazzan Reb Moshe Pressman. Come on, come on, “that the Beis Hamikdash be rebuilt.” We haven’t called off “that the Beis Hamikdash be rebuilt,” after all.
30:40 Speaker 10 Singer?
30:43 Speaker 9 May it, may it be Your will, may it, may it be Your will, may it be Your will before You, before You. May it be Your will, Hashem our G-d and G-d of our fathers, that the Beis Hamikdash be rebuilt speedily in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah. That the Beis Hamikdash be rebuilt speedily in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah. That the Beis Hamikdash be rebuilt speedily in our days, and grant us our portion in Your Torah.
