Hebrew

אַדִקֵּם אֶרְקָעֵם: וַתְּפַלְּטֵנִי
מֵרִיבֵי עַמִּי תִּשְׁמְרֵנִי לְרֹאשׁ
גּוֹיִם עַם לֹא־יָדַעְתִּי יַעַבְדֻנִי:
בְּנֵי נֵכָר יִתְכַּחֲשׁוּ־לִי לִשְׁמוֹעַ
אֹזֶן יִשָּׁמְעוּ לִי: בְּנֵי נֵכָר יִבֹּלוּ
וְיַחְגְּרוּ מִמִּסְגְּרוֹתָם: חַי־יְהוָה
וּבָרוּךְ צוּרִי וְיָרֻם אֱלֹהֵי צוּר
יִשְׁעִי: הָאֵל הַנֹּתֵן נְקָמֹת לִי
וּמוֹרִיד עַמִּים תַּחְתֵּנִי: וּמוֹצִיאִי
מֵאֹיְבַי וּמִקָּמַי תְּרוֹמְמֵנִי מֵאִישׁ
חֲמָסִים תַּצִּילֵנִי: עַל־כֵּן אוֹדְךָ
יְהוָה בַּגּוֹיִם וּלְשִׁמְךָ אֲזַמֵּר:
מִגְדּוֹל יְשׁוּעוֹת מַלְכּוֹ וְעֹשֶׂה־
חֶסֶד לִמְשִׁיחוֹ לְדָוִד וּלְזַרְעוֹ

streets and completely flattened them. You rescued me from those of my own nation who fought me—such as King Saul and others. Furthermore, You protected me and placed me as the leader over all the nations, so that even the far away nations, of whose existence I do not know, will serve me. Foreign nations will lie to me and pretend to be loyal because they fear me. Because of my renown, they will fear me even when I am not present and they will obey me. Foreign nations will wilt before me, and they will be made lame from their suffering while they are imprisoned. The Lord is everlasting, and blessed is God, my Rock; exalted is God, Rock of my salvation. You are the God Who exacts retribution against my enemies on my behalf and subdues nations under my rule; You are the God Who rescues me from my hidden enemies, and You lift me victoriously over my overt adversaries; You save me from corrupt men. Therefore, I will give thanks to You, Lord, and make Your greatness known among the nations, and I will sing praises to Your name. God is a tower of salvation for David, His king. He does kindness to His anointed one—to David—and He will act kindly to his descendants forever.

You shall separate and give to a Levite a tenth of the entire crop of your plantings, and then you will separate an additional tenth of the crop, which you will bring to Jerusalem. Each year, you shall give the tenths of the crop that the field produced in that year. You will bring the second tenth before the Lord, your God, in Jerusalem, the place He will choose to rest His name. There you will eat the tenth of your grain, your wine, and your oil. You will also bring to Jerusalem the firstborn of your cattle and your flock and give them to a Kohen. God commands you to bring the tenth of your crop to Jerusalem so that you will learn from the many Torah scholars who are there and so that they will inspire you to fear the Lord, your God, at all times. If the journey to Jerusalem—the place upon which the Lord, your God, will choose to place His Name upon it—will be too long and too far for you to be able to carry all of the produce you need to bring there, because the Lord, your God, will bless you with an abundance, then, you shall exchange this produce for money by selling it. Then wrap the money in your hand, and go to Jerusalem, the place that the Lord, your God, will choose. And in Jerusalem, you will buy with that money whichever food your soul may desire—cattle, flock, fresh wine, aged wine, or whichever other food or drink your soul may desire. You shall eat your purchases there in Jerusalem before the Lord, your God, and you shall rejoice—you and your household. Do not forsake the Levite who dwells in your cities, for he has neither a portion in the spoils of war nor inheritance of the land together with you; be sure to give him the first tenth of your crop as you have been commanded to do. There is a continuous seven-year cycle, called the “shmittah cycle.” If you have failed to give the tenth of your crop to a Levite and/or to separate a tenth to be eaten in Jerusalem in the first and second year of the shmittah cycle, or in the fourth and fifth year of the cycle, then at the end of the third and sixth year, respectively, you shall take out all the tithes of your produce; you may not delay any longer. In addition, in the third and sixth year of the cycle, you shall not bring the second tithe to Jerusalem to eat there; rather, you shall leave it in your cities and distribute the produce to the poor. The Levite—because he has no portion or inheritance of the land together with you—shall come to collect the first tithe of your produce, and the converts, the orphan, the widow, and any poor people who dwell in your city will come and take your second tithe in the third and sixth year of the shmittah cycle. They will eat and be satisfied. Do this so that the Lord, your God, will continue to bless you in all the work of your hands that you do.

At the end of the seventh year of the Shmittah cycle, you shall grant a release of all debt and no longer demand repayment. This is the law of the release: every person who has lent to his fellow and is waiting to be repaid, should release and pardon the debt. He shall not claim the loan from his fellow or brother, for this year has been declared a year of releasing debt before the Lord. You may claim your loan from the gentile, but any loan payment that is owed to you by your brother—your fellow Jew, your hand
