• Ps 7:1-9 : 1 `The Erring One,' by David, that he sung to Jehovah concerning the words of Cush a Benjamite. O Jehovah, my God, in Thee I have trusted, Save me from all my pursuers, and deliver me. 2 Lest he tear as a lion my soul, Rending, and there is no deliverer. 3 O Jehovah, my God, if I have done this, If there is iniquity in my hands, 4 If I have done my well-wisher evil, And draw mine adversary without cause, 5 An enemy pursueth my soul, and overtaketh, And treadeth down to the earth my life, And my honour placeth in the dust. Selah. 6 Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded: 7 And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back, 8 Jehovah doth judge the peoples; Judge me, O Jehovah, According to my righteousness, And according to mine integrity on me, 9 Let, I pray Thee be ended the evil of the wicked, And establish Thou the righteous, And a trier of hearts and reins is the righteous God. 10 My shield `is' on God, Saviour of the upright in heart! 11 God `is' a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times. 12 If `one' turn not, His sword he sharpeneth, His bow he hath trodden -- He prepareth it, 13 Yea, for him He hath prepared Instruments of death, His arrows for burning pursuers He maketh. 14 Lo, he travaileth `with' iniquity, And he hath conceived perverseness, And hath brought forth falsehood. 15 A pit he hath prepared, and he diggeth it, And he falleth into a ditch he maketh. 16 Return doth his perverseness on his head, And on his crown his violence cometh down. 17 I thank Jehovah, According to His righteousness, And praise the name of Jehovah Most High!
• Ps 86:1-9 : 1 A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I `am' poor and needy. 2 Keep my soul, for I `am' pious, Save Thy servant -- who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God. 3 Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day. 4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up. 5 For Thou, Lord, `art' good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee. 6 Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications. 7 In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me. 8 There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none. 9 All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name. 10 For great `art' Thou, and doing wonders, Thou `art' God Thyself alone. 11 Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name. 12 I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age. 13 For Thy kindness `is' great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. 14 O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them, 15 And Thou, O Lord, `art' God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth. 16 Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid. 17 Do 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!
• Ps 90:1-9 : 1 A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou -- Thou hast been, To us -- in generation and generation, 2 Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou `art' God. 3 Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men. 4 For a thousand years in Thine eyes `are' as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night. 5 Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth. 6 In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered. 7 For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled. 8 Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face, 9 For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation. 10 Days of our years, in them `are' seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet `is' their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away. 11 Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear -- Thy wrath? 12 To number our days aright let `us' know, And we bring the heart to wisdom. 13 Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants. 14 Satisfy us at morn `with' Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days. 15 Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil. 16 Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons. 17 And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!
