Psalm 23 Adonai ro-i, lo eḥsar.Bin'ot deshe yarbitseini, Al mei m'nuḥot y'naḥaleini, Naf'shi y'shovev, Yan'ḥeini b'ma'aglei tsedek, L'ma'an sh'mo. Gam ki eilech B'gei tsalmavet, Lo ira ra, Ki Atah imadi. Shiv't'cha umishan'techa Hemah y'nacḥamuni. | The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He bids me to lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the still waters, He restores my soul, He leads me in the paths of righteousness, For the sake of His name. Even though I walk Through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, For You are with me. Your rod and Your staff They comfort me. |
Ta'aroch l'fanai shulchan, Neged tsor'rai Dishanta vashemen roshi Cosi r'vayah. Ach tov vaḥesed Yird'funi kol y'mei ḥayai, V'shav'ti b'veit Adonai L'orech yamim. | You prepare a table before me, In the presence of my enemies You anoint my head with oil My cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy Shall follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever. |

N'natkah et mos'roteimo, V'nashlichah mimenu avoteimo. Yoshev bashamayim Yis'ḥak, Adonai Yil'ag lamo! | Saying, let us break their chains, And throw off their shackles. He that dwells in Heaven Shall laugh, and the Lord Mocks them! |

Psalm 131 Adonai, Adonai,Lo gavah libi, V'lo ramu einai, V'lo hilachti Big'dolot uv'niflaot Mimeni. Im lo shiviti V'domam'ti, Naf'shi k'gamul alei imo, Kagamul alai naf'shi. Yaḥel Yis'rael el Adonai Me'atah v'ad olam. | Lord, Lord, My heart is not proud, My eyes are not haughty, Neither do I concern myself With things too great or Too wonderful for me. Surely I have calmed And quieted my soul, Like a weaned child resting against its mother, My soul is content as a weaned child. Let Israel hope in the Lord Now and forever. |
