31 And G-d saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was tov me’od (very good). And the erev and the boker were Yom Shishi (Day Six, the Sixth Day).

8 [Tet] Tov and yashar is Hashem;

therefore will He teach chatta’im in the Derech.

28 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.

1 (Mizmor. Shir. For Shabbos)

2 It is tov to give thanks unto Hashem,

and to make music unto Thy Shem, O Elyon;

3 To proclaim Thy chesed in the boker,

and Thy emunah baleilot,

5 For Hashem is good;

His chesed is l’olam;

and His emunah (faithfulness) endureth dor vador.

1 (Shir HaMa’alot, of Dovid)

Hinei, mah tov umah na’im shevet achim gahm yachad!

(how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity)!

2 For I give you lekach tov (good doctrine, good instruction),

forsake ye not my torah.

23 An ish hath simchah in the apt reply of his peh (mouth),

and a timely davar, mah tov (how good!)

13 Beni (my son), eat thou devash, because it is tov;

and the honeycomb, which is sweet to thy taste;

14 So shall the knowledge of chochmah be unto thy nefesh;

when thou hast found it, then there shall be an acharit (latter end, future),

and thy tikvah (hope) shall not be cut off.

11 Chochmah is good with a nachalah (inheritance); and by it there is an advantage to them that see the shemesh.

25 Hashem is tov unto them that wait for Him,

to the nefesh that seeketh Him.

26 It is good that a man should both hope

and quietly wait for the Teshu’at Hashem.

8 He hath showed thee, O adam (man), what is tov.

And what doth Hashem require of thee,

but to do mishpat, and ahavat chesed,

and to walk humbly with Eloheicha?

12 So that the Torah is kedoshah (holy) and the mitzvoh (commandment) is kedoshah and yasharah and tovah.

2 Stop allowing yourself to be conformed to the Olam Hazeh, but be transformed by your hitkhadshut (regeneration, renewal) of your mind, so that you may ascertain what is the ratzon Hashem (the will of G-d), what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of G-d.

16 Therefore, do not let HaTov of you be brought into contempt.

1 I urge, therefore, of first importance, davening, techinnah (supplication), tefillah (prayer), bakkashot (petitions), and hodayah (thanksgiving) be made on behalf of kol Bnei Adam (all mankind), 2 On behalf of malchei eretz (kings) and on behalf of all the ones in authority, that we may lead a life of chayyei menuchah (life of rest) in all chasidus (piety) and yirat Shomayim (reverence). 3 This is good and acceptable before Hashem Moshieinu,

4 Because the whole Bri’ah (Creation) that Hashem has created is tov* and nothing is to be rejected that is received with hodayah. 5 For it is being set apart as kodesh through the dvar Hashem and tefillos and brachot.

17 Every good endowment and every matanah shleimah (complete gift) is from above, coming down from Avi HaOhrot (the Father of Lights) with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.*

50 Melach is tov, but if the melach becomes unsalty, by what [means] will you make it salty again? Have melach in yourselves. And among yourselves let there be shalom.
