Psalms (Author Moses, David, Solomon, Asaph, Heman, Ethan, sons of Korah, compiled by Ezra)

Chapter 85

1Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned to the captivity of Jacob.2Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah.3Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.4Turn back to us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.5To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?6Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.7Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.8I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.9Only, near to those fearing Him is His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.10Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,11Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,12Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.13Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!

Chapter 86

A Prayer of David.1Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I am poor and needy.2Keep my soul, for I am pious, Save Thy servant -- who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.3Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.4Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.5For Thou, Lord, art good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.6Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.7In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.8There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.9All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.10For great art Thou, and doing wonders, Thou art God Thyself alone.11Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.12I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.13For Thy kindness is great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.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,15And Thou, O Lord, art God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.16Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.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!

Chapter 87

By sons of Korah. -- A Psalm, a song.1His foundation is in holy mountains.2Jehovah is loving the gates of Zion Above all the tabernacles of Jacob.3Honourable things are spoken in Thee, O city of God. Selah.4I mention Rahab and Babel to those knowing Me, Lo, Philistia, and Tyre, with Cush! This one was born there.5And of Zion it is said: Each one was born in her, And He, the Most High, doth establish her.6Jehovah doth recount in the describing of the peoples, `This one was born there.' Selah.7Singers also as players on instruments, All my fountains are in Thee!
