Psalm 85
85
1 A Prayer of David himself. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear me. For I am needy and poor.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am holy. My God, bring salvation to your servant who hopes in you.
3 O Lord, be merciful to me, for I have cried out to you all day long.
4 Give joy to the soul of your servant, for I have lifted up my soul to you, Lord.
5 For you are sweet and mild, Lord, and plentiful in mercy to all who call upon you.
6 Pay attention, Lord, to my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplication.
7 In the day of my tribulation, I cried out to you, because you heeded me.
8 There is no one like you among the gods, O Lord, and there is no one like you in your works.
9 All the nations, which you have made, will draw near and adore in your presence, O Lord. And they will glorify your name.
10 For you are great, and you perform wonders. You alone are God.
11 Lead me, O Lord, in your way, and I will walk in your truth. May my heart rejoice, so that it will fear your name.
12 I will confess to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart. And I will glorify your name in eternity.
13 For your mercy toward me is great, and you have rescued my soul from the lower part of Hell.
14 O God, the iniquitous have risen up against me, and the synagogue of the powerful have sought my soul, and they have not placed you in their sight.
15 And you, Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, being patient and full of mercy and truthful.
16 Look down upon me and have mercy on me. Grant your authority to your servant, and bring salvation to the son of your handmaid.
17 Make me a sign of what is good, so that those who hate me, may look and be confounded. For you, O Lord, have helped me and consoled me.

Tehillim 85
85
(For the one directing. Of the Bnei Korach. Mizmor)
1 Hashem, Thou hast been favorable unto Thy land; Thou hast brought back the captivity of Ya'akov.
2 Thou hast forgiven the avon (iniquity) of Amecha (Thy people); Thou hast covered all their chattat (sin). Selah
3 Thou hast withdrawn all Thy wrath; Thou hast turned from Thine charon af.
4 Turn us, O Elohei Yisheinu (G-d of our salvation), and put away Thine ka'as (anger) toward us.
5 Wilt Thou be angry with us l'olam? Wilt Thou draw out Thine anger l'dor vador?
6 Wilt Thou not revive us again; that Amecha (Thy people) may rejoice in Thee?
7 Show us chasdecha (Thy chesed, kindness, steadfast love), Hashem, and grant us Thy salvation.
8 I will hear what HaEl Hashem will say; for He will speak shalom unto His people, and to His Chasidim; but let them not turn again to folly.
9 Surely His salvation is karov (near) them that fear Him; that kavod may dwell in Artzeinu (our land).
10 Chesed and emes will meet together; tzedek and shalom will kiss each other.
11 Emes shall titzmach (sprout forth)#85:11 T.N. Tzemach — Branch, Sprout — is the code name for Moshiach and the coming Tzemachʼs Namesake in Zech 6:11-12 is Yehoshua, Yeshua — see Ezra 3:8; Zech 3:8; 6:11-12. Go to Jer 23:5 and look at all the references. These are among the most important Scriptures in the Bible because it is here that the saving Name of Moshiach Tzidkeinu is prophetically communicated for salvation; the word Tzemach means “Moshiach” and it is the code word par excellence for Moshiach in the post-Exilic references in the minor prophets; this veiled reference to Moshiach was necessary in the situation of the Return under Persian rule when talk of a coming king was a delicate matter. out of ha'aretz; and tzedek shall look down from Shomayim.
12 Yes, Hashem shall give that which is tov; and Artzeinu (our land) shall yield her yevul (increase, produce).
13 Tzedek shall go before Him; and shall set us in the Derech of His steps.
