10 Behold mogineinu (our shield), O Elohim,

and look upon the face of Thine Moshiach.

4 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.

4 Divrei avonot (instances of iniquity) overwhelm me;

as for peysha’einu (our transgressions), Thou hast made kapporah for them.

1 (Shir HaMa’alot [Song of Ascents], of Dovid)

I was glad when they said unto me,

Let us go into the Bais Hashem.

6 Surely tov and chesed shall follow me

kol y’mei chaiyyai (all the days of my life):

and I will dwell in the Bais Hashem

l’orech yamim (for length of days, whole life long, forever).

8 The tzaddikim also shall see, and fear,

and shall laugh at him:

9 I am become a stranger unto my achim,

and a nochri (foreigner) unto the bnei immi (sons of my mother).

12 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach arrived at the Beis Hamikdash and expelled the ones selling and buying in the Beis Hamikdash. And he turned over the tishen (tables) of the machalifei hakesafim (money changers) and the chairs of those selling the yonim (doves). 13 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, It has been written, BEITI BEIT TEFILLAH YIKAREI* (My House shall be called a House of Prayer), but you are making it into a MEARAT PARITZIM* (den of robbers).

13 And Pesach was fast approaching, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to Yerushalayim.* 14 And he found in the Beis Hamikdash the ones selling oxen and sheep and doves* and the coin-dealers sitting.* 15 And having made a shot (whip) out of ropes Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach drove all of them out of the Beis Hamikdash, both the sheep and the cattle. He also poured out the coins of the machalifei hakesafim (money-changers) and overturned their tishen (tables). 16 And to the ones selling doves, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, Take these things from here. Do not make the Bais Avi a bais hasokharim (house of merchants).* 17 The talmidim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach remembered that it had been written, KINAT BETECHA AKHALATNI (Zeal for Your bais hath consumed me).*

19 Or have you no da’as that your body is a Heikhal Hashem of the Ruach Hakodesh in you, whom you have from Hashem, and you are not your own?

15 If I delay, you may have da’as of the halachah in the Beis Hashem, which is the Adat HaEl Chai (the Community of the Living G-d), the ammud (pillar) and yesod (foundation) of HaEmes.

6 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was ne’eman as HaBen over the Beis Hashem, whose Beis we are, if indeed the bitachon and the tikvah in which we glory we keep hold of to HaKetz.

44 Avoteinu had the Mishkan HaEdut in the midbar just as the One who spoke to Moshe [Rabbeinu] directed him to make it according to the TAVNIT (pattern) which he had seen.* 45 And having received it in their turn, Avoteinu brought it in with Yehoshua (Joshua) upon the dispossessing of the land of the Goyim, which Hashem drove out from the presence of Avoteinu until the yamim of Dovid.* 46 And Dovid found Chen v’Chesed Hashem before G-d, and asked that he might find a mishkan for Elohei Ya’akov.* 47 And Sh’lomo (Solomon) built for him a Beis.* 48 But HaElyon does not dwell in battim made by human hands, just as the Navi (prophet) says,* 49 HASHOMAYIM KISSI V’HAARETZ HADOM RAGLAI (Heaven is my throne and earth is the footstool for my feet). EI-ZEH BAYIT ASHER TIVNU LI (What kind of House will you build for me?) says Hashem, V’EI ZEH MAKOM MENUCHATI (Or where will my resting place be?) 50 Did not my hand ASATAH (make) all these things?*

1 Thus saith Hashem:

HaShomayim is My kisse,

and ha’aretz is My footstool;

where is the Beis that ye build for Me?

And where is the Makom of My Menuchah?

2 For all those things hath Mine hand made,

and so came they all into being,

saith Hashem;

but to this man will I look,

even to him that is oni and of a contrite ruach,

and trembleth at My Devar.

16 And Ya’akov awoke out of his sleep, and he said, Surely Hashem is in this place! And I had no da’as of it. 17 And he was afraid, and said, How nora (awesome) is this place! This is none other than the Beis Elohim, and this is the Sha’ar HaShomayim.
