Orthodox Jewish Bible 1 (For the one directing. Of the Bnei Korach. Mizmor.) Hashem, Thou hast been favorable unto Thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Ya'akov. 2 (3) (3) Thou hast forgiven the avon (iniquity) of Amecha (Thy people); Thou hast covered all their chattat (sin). Selah. 3 (4) (4) Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from Thine charon af. 4 (5) (5) Turn us, O Elohei Yisheinu (G-d of our salvation), and put away Thine ka'as (anger) toward us. 5 (6) (6) Wilt Thou be angry with us l'olam? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger l'dor vador? 6 (7) (7) Wilt Thou not revive us again; that Amecha (Thy people) may rejoice in Thee? 7 (8) (8) Show us chasdecha (Thy chesed, kindness, steadfast love), Hashem, and grant us Thy salvation. 8 (9) (9) I will hear what HaEl Hashem will say; for He will speak shalom unto His people, and to His Chasidim; but let them not turn again to folly. 9 (10) (10) Surely His salvation is karov (near) them that fear Him; that kavod may dwell in Artzeinu (our land). 10 (11) (11) Chesed and emes will meet together; tzedek and shalom will kiss each other. 11 (12) (12) Emes shall titzmach (sprout forth) [T.N. Tzemach-- Branch, Sprout--is the code name for Moshiach and the coming Tzemach's Namesake in Zecharyah 6:11-12 is Yehoshua, Joshua, Yeshua--see Ezra 3:8; Zech 3:8; 6:11-12. Go to Jer 23:5 and look at all the references. These are among the most important Scriptures in the Bible because it is here that the saving Name of Moshiach Tzidkeinu is prophetically communicated for salvation; the word Tzemach means “Moshiach” and it is the code word par excellence for Moshiach in the post-Exilic references in the minor prophets; this veiled reference to Moshiach was necessary in the situation of the Return under Persian rule when talk of a coming king was a delicate matter. Only through G-d's Word can we know G-d's salvation (Psalm 119:81; 2 Tim 3:15). G-d's Son (Proverbs 30:4), the source of revelation (Proverbs 30:3-5) and love (Proverbs 8:17), functioned as an Amon (Craftsman, master builder, Proverbs 8:30) or Creative Wisdom at His side as the source of creativity (Proverbs 8:12; 8:22; 8:30) and love (Proverbs 8:17). And this Son of G-d took on flesh as the Son of G-d Messiah (Psalm 2:7; 1 Chronicles 17:13; Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:5-6), David's L-rd (Psalm 110:1). And whoever calls on the Name of the L-rd will be saved (Joel 2:32). G-d's Word, His Son, incarnated as the Son of G-d Messiah, has a prophesied Name. His prophesied Name is Yeshua given through Messiah's Namesake Yeshua the High Priest who made the kaporah in 516 BCE ending the Golus (Exile) of abandonment from G-d (Isaiah 54:7) lasting 70 years from 586 BCE to 516 BCE. Yeshua is the Kohen after the order of Melki-Tzedek (Ps 110:4) who in his abandonment (Matthew 27:46) made the kaporah ending our Exile from G-d, our exile of sin and death (Matt. 1:12-17).] out of ha'aretz; and tzedek shall look down from Shomayim. 12 (13) (13) Yes, Hashem shall give that which is tov; and Artzeinu (our land) shall yield her yevul (increase, produce). 13 (14) (14) Tzedek shall go before Him; and shall set us in the Derech of His steps.
