85:1Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned to the captivity of Jacob.

85:2Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.

85:3Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.

85:4Turn back to us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

85:5To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

85:6Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

85:7Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.

85:8I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.

85:9Only, near to those fearing Him is His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.

85:10Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,

85:11Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,

85:12Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.

85:13Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!

86:0A Prayer of David.

86:1Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I am poor and needy.

86:2Keep my soul, for I am pious, Save Thy servant -- who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.

86:3Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.

86:4Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

86:5For Thou, Lord, art good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

86:6Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.

86:7In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.

86:8There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.

86:9All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.

86:10For great art Thou, and doing wonders, Thou art God Thyself alone.

86:11Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.

86:12I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.

86:13For Thy kindness is great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

86:14O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,

86:15And Thou, O Lord, art God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

86:16Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.

86:17Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!

87:0By sons of Korah. -- A Psalm, a song.

87:1His foundation is in holy mountains.

87:2Jehovah is loving the gates of Zion Above all the tabernacles of Jacob.

87:3Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. Selah.

87:4I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This one was born there.

87:5And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, doth establish her.

87:6Jehovah doth recount in the describing of the peoples, `This one was born there.' Selah.

87:7Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains are in Thee!
