JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
1A prayer for David himself. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.
1(85-1) For the Leader. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. (85-2) LORD, Thou hast been favourable unto Thy land, Thou hast turned the captivity of Jacob.
2Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.
2(85-3) Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast pardoned all their sin. Selah
3Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day.
3(85-4) Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from the fierceness of Thine anger.
4Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
4(85-5) Restore us, O God of our salvation, and cause Thine indignation toward us to cease.
5For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.
5(85-6) Wilt Thou be angry with us for ever? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations?
6Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.
6(85-7) Wilt Thou not quicken us again, that Thy people may rejoice in Thee?
7I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me.
7(85-8) Show us Thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us Thy salvation.
8There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works.
8(85-9) I will hear what God the LORD will speak; for He will speak peace unto His people, and to His saints; but let them not turn back to folly.
9All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.
9(85-10) Surely His salvation is nigh them that fear Him; that glory may dwell in our land.
10For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.
10(85-11) Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.
11Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.
11(85-12) Truth springeth out of the earth; and righteousness hath looked down from heaven.
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:
12(85-13) Yea, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land shall yield her produce.
13For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell.
13(85-14) Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way.
14O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set thee before their eyes.
