לברונה וחיים
To Bruna and Harold
or taken the path of sinners,
or joined the company of the insolent; (2) rather, the teaching of the LORD is his delight,
and he studies that teaching day and night. (3) He is like a tree planted beside streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season,
whose foliage never fades,
and whatever it produces thrives.-b (4) Not so the wicked;
rather, they are like chaff that wind blows away. (5) Therefore the wicked will not survive judgment,
nor will sinners, in the assembly of the righteous. (6) For the LORD cherishes the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked is doomed.
I have resolved to keep Your words. (58) I have implored You with all my heart;
have mercy on me, in accordance with Your promise. (59) I have considered my ways,
and have turned back to Your decrees. (60) I have hurried and not delayed
to keep Your commandments. (61) Though the bonds of the wicked are coiled round me,
I have not neglected Your teaching. (62) I arise at midnight to praise You
for Your just rules. (63) I am a companion to all who fear You,
to those who keep Your precepts. (64) Your steadfast love, O LORD, fills the earth;
teach me Your laws.
by holding to Your word. (10) I have turned to You with all my heart;
do not let me stray from Your commandments. (11) In my heart I treasure Your promise;
therefore I do not sin against You. (12) Blessed are You, O LORD;
train me in Your laws. (13) With my lips I rehearse
all the rules You proclaimed. (14) I rejoice over the way of Your decrees
as over all riches. (15) I study Your precepts;
I regard Your ways; (16) I take delight in Your laws;
I will not neglect Your word.
לחנה וישראל
To Hannah and Israel
the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech, (2) Judah became His holy one,-a
Israel, His dominion. (3) The sea saw them and fled,
Jordan ran backward, (4) mountains skipped like rams,
hills like sheep. (5) What alarmed you, O sea, that you fled,
Jordan, that you ran backward, (6) mountains, that you skipped like rams,
hills, like sheep? (7) Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord,
at the presence of the God of Jacob, (8) who turned the rock into a pool of water,
the flinty rock into a fountain.
give me understanding that I may learn Your commandments. (74) Those who fear You will see me and rejoice,
for I have put my hope in Your word. (75) I know, O LORD, that Your rulings are just;
rightly have You humbled me. (76) May Your steadfast love comfort me
in accordance with Your promise to Your servant. (77) May Your mercy reach me, that I might live,
for Your teaching is my delight. (78) Let the insolent be dismayed, for they have wronged me without cause;
I will study Your precepts. (79) May those who fear You,
those who know Your decrees,
turn again to me. (80) May I wholeheartedly follow Your laws
so that I do not come to grief.
(2) O LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name throughout the earth,
You who have covered the heavens with Your splendor!-b (3) From the mouths of infants and sucklings
You have founded strength on account of Your foes,
to put an end to enemy and avenger.-a (4) When I behold Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
the moon and stars that You set in place, (5) what is man that You have been mindful of him,
mortal man that You have taken note of him, (6) that You have made him little less than divine,
and adorned him with glory and majesty; (7) You have made him master over Your handiwork,
laying the world at his feet, (8) sheep and oxen, all of them,
and wild beasts, too; (9) the birds of the heavens, the fish of the sea,
whatever travels the paths of the seas. (10) O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name throughout the earth!
יהיה טוב
אני מביט מהחלון
וזה עושה לי די עצוב,
האביב חלף עבר לו
מי יודע אם ישוב
הליצן נהיה למלך
הנביא נהיה ליצן
ושכחתי את הדרך
אבל אני עוד כאן
ויהיה טוב
יהיה טוב, כן
לפעמים אני נשבר
אז הלילה
הו הלילה
איתך אני נשאר
ילדים לובשים כנפיים
ועפים אל הצבא
ואחרי שנתיים
הם חוזרים ללא תשובה
אנשים חיים במתח
מחפשים סיבה לנשום
ובין שנאה לרצח
מדברים על השלום
ויהיה טוב...
שם למעלה בשמיים
עננים לומדים לעוף
ואני מביט למעלה
ורואה מטוס חטוף
ממשלה של גנרלים
מחלקת את הנוף
לשלהם ולשלנו
ולא רואים ת'סוף
הנה בא נשיא מצרים
איך שמחתי לקראתו
פירמידות בעיניים
ושלום במקטרתו
ואמרנו בוא נשלימה
ונחיה כמו אחים
ואז הוא אמר קדימה,
רק תצאו מהשטחים.
ויהיה טוב...
אני מביט מהחלון
לראות אם כל זה אמיתי
מביט מהחלון וממלמל את תפילתי
עוד נגור זאב עם כבש
ונמר ירבץ עם גדי
אך בינתיים אל תוציאי
את ידך מכף ידי
כי יהיה טוב...
אני מביט מהחלון
אולי מגיע יום חדש
| IT WILL ALL TURN OUT ALRIGHT |
|
I am looking out my window |
