Make a joyful noise unto Hashem, kol ha'aretz; make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
Therefore, having been acquitted and declared not guilty, declared to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM on the yesod (basis) of our emunah (faith), we have shalom (peace) in relation to Hashem through Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu,For if when we were [G-dʼs] oyevim (enemies), we were reconciled to Hashem through the histalkus (passing), the mavet (death) of the Zun fun der Oybershter, how much more, having been reconciled and no longer oyevim, shall we be delivered by his Chayyim!Not only so, but we also glory in Hashem though Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu, through whom we have now received the ritztzuy (reconciliation, cessation of enmity, hostility between a wrathful holy G-d and sinful men).Therefore, just as through one Adam (one man, humanity, Adam), Chet (Sin) entered into the Olam Hazeh and, through Chet (Sin), entered Mavet (Death), and so Mavet passed through to kol Bnei Adam (all Mankind, all the sons of Adam), because all sinned.For before [the epoch of] the Torah (Law), Chet (Sin, Chet Kadmon, original sin) was in HaOlam (HaZeh, the world). But Chet (Sin) is not accounted, recorded in the absence of Gezetz.Nevertheless, Mavet (Death) reigned supreme from (the epoch of) Adam until (the epoch of) Moshe Rabbeinu, even over those who did not sin in the very same manner of Adamʼs averah (transgression, disobedience, commandment rebelled against and recorded for death penalty) — that is, Adam who is a tipus (pattern, prophetic type), a demut he'atid (a future figure) of Hu HaBah (“He who comes,” Moshiach the Coming One, the Coming Go'el Redeemer). But the averah (transgression) was not like the effect of unmerited chesed (grace). For if by the averah of the one, the rabbim (many) died, how much more the unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem (grace of G-d) and the matnat hachesed (free gift of grace) of the Adam HaEchad (one Man) Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua have overflowed LARABBIM (to the many).And the mattanah (free gift) is not like the effect of that one Adamʼs averah. For the mishpat (judgment) is from one averah (transgression) to the gezar din (verdict) of ashem (guilty), to harsha'ah (condemnation as guilty); but the effect of the unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem is from averot rabbot (many transgressions) to zikkuy (acquittal), to that of being YITZDAK IM HASHEM (“justified with G-d,” i.e., acquittal, justification with Hashem of the Many).For if by the averah (transgression) of the one, Mavet (Death) reigned supreme through the one Adam, how much more those, who receive the abundance of unmerited Chen v'Chesed Hashem (grace) and of the Matnat HaTzedakah (the gift of righteousness), shall reign in life through the one Adam, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.So, then, as through one Averah (transgression) [of Adam] to kol Bnei Adam to harsha'ah (condemnation as guilty), so also through one Mitzvah (righteous or worthy deed) [of Moshiach] to kol Bnei Adam to justification unto Chayei [Olam].For as through the disobedience of the one Adam, the many were made chote'im (sinners), so also through the mishma'at (obedience) of the one Adam, the many will be made tzaddikim (righteous ones).Through whom also we have HaSha'ar laHashem (gate to appoach G-dʼs presence, access of the Tzaddikim) by emunah into this unmerited Chen v'Chesed in which we stand and glory in tikvah of the kavod Eloheinu.
And in Yom Hahu shall ye say: Hodu LaHashem, call upon Shmo, declare His deeds among the peoples, proclaim that Shmo is exalted.Sing unto Hashem; for He hath done glorious things; let this be known b'chol ha'aretz.Cry out and shout for joy, thou inhabitant of Tziyon; for gadol is Kadosh Yisroel in the midst of thee.

I appeal to you, therefore, Achim b'Moshiach, through the rachamei Hashem (mercies of G-d), to present your geviyah, all of your being, as a korban chai (living sacrifice), kadosh (holy) and acceptable to Hashem, which is your spiritual avodas kodesh service.
That at haShem of Yehoshua, KOL BERECH (every knee) will bow, of beings b'Shomayim and ba'Aretz and mitachat la'Aretz (in the world below),And KOL LASHON (every tongue) shall make hoda'ah (confession) with an Ani Ma'amin that is an open and public admission that Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua (Yeshua) is Adoneinu, to the kavod of Elohim Avinu.

SelahCome and hear, Kol Yirei Elohim, and I will declare what He hath done for my nefesh.I cried unto Him with my mouth, and He was extolled with my leshon.If I regard avon (iniquity, sin) in my lev, Adonoi will not hear me;But surely Elohim hath heard me; He hath attended to the kol tefillati (voice of my prayer).Sing forth the kavod Shmo; make kavod (glorious) His tehillah (praise).

For the ahavah (love) of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach controls us, because we have judged this, that one [Moshiach] died on behalf of all and therefore all died.And Moshiach died on behalf of all, that the ones living may no longer live to themselves but may live to the one [Moshiach] who both died and has been made to stand up alive in his Techiyas HaMoshiach for their sakes.
I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvellous are Thy ma'asim; and that my nefesh knoweth very well.
Fear thou not; for I am with thee; be not dismayed; for I am Eloheicha; I will strengthen thee; indeed, I will help thee; indeed, I will uphold thee with My yamin tzedek.
(Of Dovid) 1Barachi (Bless) Hashem, O my nefesh; and all that is within me, bless His Shem kodesh.He hath not dealt with us according to chata'einu (our sins); nor repaid us according to avonoteinu (our iniquities).For as Shomayim is high above ha'aretz, so great is His chesed toward them that fear Him.As far as the mizrach (east) is from the ma'arav (west), so far hath He removed peysha'einu (our transgressions) from us.As an av has compassion on banim so Hashem has compassion on them that fear Him.For He has da'as of yitzreinu (our nature); He remembereth that aphar anachnu (dust we are).As for enosh (mankind), his yamim are like khatzir (green grass, herbage); like tzitz hasadeh (a flower of the field), so he flourisheth.For the ruach (wind) passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall remember it no more.But the chesed Hashem is me'olam v'ad olam (from everlasting to everlasting) upon them that fear Him, and His tzedakah unto bnei banim;To such as are shomer over His Brit, and to those that remember His precepts to do them.Hashem hath established His kisse (throne) in Shomayim; and His malchut ruleth over all.Barachi Hashem, O my nefesh, and forget not all His gmulim (benefits);
May the G-d of savlanut and of nechamah give you to live in harmony among yourselves in accordance with Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua,In order that with achdus of mind and voice you might give kavod to the Elohim and Avi of Adoneinu Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua.
One thing have I asked of Hashem, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the Bais Hashem all the days of my life, to behold the gracefulness of Hashem, and to inquire in His Heikhal.
Thine, Hashem is HaGedulah, and HaGevurah, and HaTiferet and HaNetzach and HaHod; for all that is in the Shomayim and in Ha'aretz is Thine; Thine is the Mamlachah, O Hashem, and Thou art exalted as Rosh above all.Both osher and kavod come of Thee, and Thou art Moshel over all; and in Thine yad is ko'ach and gevurah; and in Thine yad it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.Now therefore, Eloheinu, we thank Thee, and praise Thy Shem Tiferet.
But kiravat Elohim (drawing near to Elohim) is tov for me; I make in Adonoi Hashem my refuge, that I may declare all Thy deeds.
