And Avdi whom I have chosen, so that ye may know and believe Me, and understand that Ani Hu (I am He); before Me there was no El formed, neither shall there be after Me.I, even I, am Hashem; and apart from Me there is no Moshi'a.I have declared, and have saved, and I have proclaimed, when there was no zar (foreign) [g-d] among you; therefore you are My edim (witnesses), saith Hashem, that I am El.Yes, before the yom was, Ani Hu (I am He); and there is none that can deliver out of My Yad; I work, and who shall reverse it?Thus saith Hashem, your Go'el, the Kadosh Yisroel; For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and I shall bring down the fugitives, all of them, even the Kasdim (Chaldeans), whose shout of joy is in the ships.I am Hashem, your Kadosh, t the Boreh Yisroel, your Melech.Thus saith Hashem, which maketh a derech in the yam, and a path in the mayim azzim (mighty waters);Which drew out the merkavah and sus, the army and warrior; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinct, they are quenched like a wick.Remember ye not the rishonot (former things) neither consider kadmoniyyot (the things of old).Hineni, I am doing a chadashah (new thing); now titzmach (it shall spring forth; Tzemach); shall ye not perceive it?

(Of Dovid) 1 Fret not thyself because of re'im (evildoers); neither have thou kina (jealousy, envy) of the workers of iniquity.For yet a little while, and the rasha shall not be; yes, thou shalt watch his place, and he will not be.But the anavim (meek ones) shall inherit Eretz; and shall delight themselves in rov shalom (great peace).

Him shall He teach in the Derech that he shall choose.[Nun] His nefesh (soul) shall dwell in prosperity; and his zera shall inherit the earth.[Samech] The secret of Hashem is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His Brit (covenant).[Ayin] Mine eyes are ever toward Hashem; for He shall pluck my feet out of the reshet (net).[Peh] Turn Thee unto me, and be gracious unto me; for I am yachid (alone, lonely) and afflicted.[Tzade] The tzoros of my lev are multiplied; O bring Thou me forth out of my distresses.[Resh] Look upon mine affliction and my pain; and take away all my chattot.[Resh] Look upon mine enemies; for they are increased; and they hate me with sinas chamas.[Bais] O Elohai, I trust in Thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine oyevim triumph over me.

Come to me, all you who are burden-weary and heavy laden, and I will give you Shabbos menuchah.Take my ol (yoke) upon you and learn from me, for I am anav (humble) and have shiflut (lowliness) in lev (heart), and you will find menuchah (rest, security) for your nefashot (souls).They asked him, Tell us.

I have not caused thee to serve with a minchah, nor wearied thee with levonah (incense, frankincense).Thou hast bought Me no fragrant calamus with kesef, neither hast thou filled Me with the chelev of thy zevakhim; but thou hast wearied Me with thy chattot, thou hast wearied Me with thine avonot.I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy peysha'im for Mine own sake, and will not remember thy chattot.Put Me in remembrance; let us plead together at law; declare thou, lema'an (for the sake of) thou being declared righteous.Avicha HaRishon hath sinned, and thy melitzim (mediators) have rebelled against Me.Therefore I have profaned the Sarei Kodesh, (Holy Princes) and have given Ya'akov to cherem, and Yisroel to giddufim (revilings).For I am Hashem Eloheicha, the Kadosh Yisroel, thy Moshi'a: I gave Mitzrayim for thy kofer (ransom), Kush and Seva in thy place.

[Koph] Karov (near) is Hashem unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in emes.[Resh] He will fulfil the ratzon of them that fear Him; He also will hear their cry, and will save them.
Therefore, now there is no gezar din (verdict) of ashem (guilty), no harsha'ah (condemnation as guilty) for those in Moshiach Yehoshua.And if Moshiach is in you, the body (of the basar) is dead because of sin but the Ruach is life for you because of Tzedek (righteousness).But if the Ruach Hakodesh of Him who gave Yehoshua Techiyah (Resurrection) from the Mesim dwells in you, He who raised Moshiach from the Mesim will give Chayyim to your mortal bodies as well, through His indwelling Ruach Hakodesh in you.So then, Achim b'Moshiach, we are under no obligation to the basar to live in accordance with the basar.For if you live in accordance with the basar you will certainly die; but if by the Ruach Hakodesh you put to death the [shameful] acts of the body, you will live.For as many as are led by the Ruach HaElohim, they are bnei HaElohim.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), by which we cry, “Abba, Avinu!”The Ruach Hakodesh himself bears eidus (witness) with our ruach that we are bnei HaElohim.And if bnei HaElohim, then also yoreshim (heirs) of G-d and co-heirs together with Moshiach, provided that we suffer with him in order that we might also be set in kavod (glory, eschatological glorification) with him. 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.For the eager expectation of HaBri'ah (the Creation) awaits the heavenly hisgalus (revelation, unveiling) of the bnei HaElohim.For the Torah of the Ruach HaKodesh that gives Chayyim in Moshiach Yehoshua has set me free from the “Gezetz” of Chet and Mavet.
Only one thing: conduct in practice your torat haEzrakhut (citizenship) worthily of the Besuras HaGeulah of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. Then, whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear concerning you that you are standing like a ma'oz (fortress, bastion) in one ruach, with one neshamah, contending for the Emunah of the Besuras HaGeulah.
Do not discard, then, your bitachon (confident trust) which has gadol sachar (great reward).
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid; when thou liest down, thy sheynah (sleep) shall be sweet.
You are the Ohr HaOlam (the Light of the World). A city lying on a mountaintop cannot be nistar (hidden).No one, after lighting a menorah, places it under a measuring basket, but on the shulchan (table), and it gives ohr (light) to kol anshei habais (all in the house).In like manner, let your light so shine before Bnei Adam, that they may see your ma'asim tovim (good works) and give kavod (glory) to your Av sh'ba'Shomayim (Father in Heaven).
If I say, Surely the choshech shall cover me, even the lailah shall be ohr about me.Even the choshech is not dark to Thee; but the lailah shineth as the yom; the choshech and the ohr are both alike to Thee.
