A Prayer of David.

86 Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.

² Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.

³ Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.

⁴ Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

⁵ For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.

⁶ Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.

⁷ In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.

⁸ Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.

⁹ All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.

¹⁰ For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.

⁴³ And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: No stranger shall eat of it;

⁴⁴ but every man's bondman that is bought for money—let him be circumcised: then shall he eat it.

⁴⁵ A settler and a hired servant shall not eat it.

⁴⁶ In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

⁴⁷ All the assembly of Israel shall hold it.

⁴⁸ And when a sojourner sojourneth with thee, and would hold the passover to Jehovah, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and hold it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.

⁴⁹ One law shall be for him that is home-born and for the sojourner that sojourneth among you.

⁵ For he has not subjected to angels the habitable world which is to come, of which we speak;

⁶ but one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him, or son of man that thou visitest him?

⁷ Thou hast made him some little inferior to the angels; thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, [and hast set him over the works of thy hands;]

⁸ thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, he has left nothing unsubject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to *him*,

⁹ but we see Jesus, who [was] made some little inferior to angels on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste death for every thing.
