5 Trust in Hashem with all thine lev,

and lean not unto thine own binah (understanding).

5 Trust in Hashem with all thine lev,

and lean not unto thine own binah (understanding).

6 In all thy drakhim acknowledge Him,

and He shall make yosher thy orkhot (paths).

1 Beni (my son), forget not my torah;

but let thine lev keep my mitzvot;

2 For orekh yamim (length of days), and shnot chayyim,

and shalom, shall they add to thee.

3 Let not chesed and emes forsake thee;

bind them about thy neck;

write them upon the luach (tablet) of thine lev;

4 So shalt thou find chen and seichel tov

in the eyes of Elohim and adam.

30 A lev marpeh (sound mind) is life to the basar,

but kinah (envy) is the rottenness of the atzmot (bones).

8 The chacham lev will receive mitzvot,

but one with foolish sfatayim (lips) shall be thrust down.

10 Make me to hear sasson and simchah;

that the atzmot which Thou hast broken may rejoice.

that the atzmot which Thou hast broken may rejoice.

12 So teach us to number yameinu,

that we may apply levav unto chochmah.

14 Keep back Thy eved also from presumptuous sins;

let them not have dominion over me;

then shall I be upright,

and I shall be innocent from the peysha rav (great transgression).

24 O love Hashem, all ye His Chasidim;

for Hashem preserveth the emunim (the faithful ones),

but He pays back in full the oseh ga’avah (the one acting in pride, haughtily).

4 Delight thyself also in Hashem,

and He shall give thee the desires of thine lev.

4 Remember all thy minchot,

and accept thy olat;

Selah.

2 Ashrei are they that keep His edot (testimonies),

and that seek Him with kol lev.

7 I will praise Thee with yosher levav (uprightness of heart)

when I shall have learned Thy righteous mishpatim (ordinances).

10 With my kol lev have I sought Thee;

O let me not wander from Thy mitzvot.

37 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave this teshuva (answer) to the Baal Torah, V’AHAVTAH ES ADONOI ELOHEICHA B’CHOL LEVAVCHA UVECHOL NAFSHECHA UVECHOL MODECHA (And thou shalt love the L-rd thy G-d with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might).*

21 For where your otzar is, there also will be your lev.

23 Omein, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, be lifted up and be thrown into the sea, and does not waver in his lev (heart) but has emunah that what he says happens, so it will be for him.

9 The lev (heart, mind) akov (is deceitful) above all things,

and anush (incurable);* who can know it?

and anush (incurable);* who can know it?

10 I, Hashem, search the lev,

I test the kelayot (kidneys),*

requiting to every ish according to his drakhim,

and according to the p’ri of his deeds.

13 And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me b’chol lvavchem (with all your heart).

5 But be shomer to do the mitzvah and the torah, which Moshe Eved Hashem charged you, to love Hashem Eloheichem, and to walk in all the darkhei Hashem,* and to be shomer mitzvot regarding His commandments, and to have deveykus (attachment, cleavimg to G-d) to Him, and to serve Him in avodas [kodesh] with kol levavchem uvkhol nafshechem (all your heart, with all your nefesh).

19 And I will give them a lev echad, and I will put a ruach chadashah (new regenerated spirit) within you; and I will remove the lev haeven (heart of stone) out of their basar, and will give them a lev basar;

26 A lev chadash also will I give you, and a ruach chadashah will I put within you; and I will take away the lev haeven (stony heart) out of your basar, and I will give you a lev basar.

7 But Hashem said unto Shmuel, Look not on his mareh (appearance), or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him; for Hashem seeth not as HaAdam seeth; for HaAdam looketh at the einayim (eyes, outward form); Hashem looketh at the lev.

19 As mayim reflecteth the face,

so one lev ha’adam reflects another.

22 A lev same’ach doeth tov like a medicine,

but a downcast ruach drieth up the bones.

3 Commit thy ma’asim (works) unto Hashem,

and thy plans shall be established.

3 Do not let your adornment be outward, with coiffures and with wearing gold or fine apparel, 4 But let your adornment be nistar (hidden), adornment shebalev (inwardly) by the imperishable* adorning of the quiet ruach anavah (humble spirit), which is before Hashem of great worth.

7 Each of you should give as he has decided previously in his lev (heart), not giving bedieved (begrudgingly) nor out of necessity; for Hashem loves a cheerful giver.* TARGUM HASHIVIM

17 But Baruch Hashem (Blessed be G-d) that you used to be avadim (slaves) of* Chet, but you gave your mishma’at shebalev (obedience from the heart) to the pattern of Torah* (the pnimiyus Torah of Moshiach) to which you were handed over.

13 With this tachlis (purpose): to establish your levavot faultless in kedushah (holiness) in the presence of Hashem and Avinu at the Bi’as Moshiach (Coming of Moshiach) of Adoneinu Yehoshua with all His Kedoshim. Omein.
