86 (A tefillah of Dovid) Incline Thine ear, Hashem; hear me; for I am ani (poor) and evyon (needy).

² Be shomer over my nefesh; for I am chasid; O Thou Elohai, save Thy eved that trusteth in Thee.

³ Channeni (be merciful) unto me, Adonoi; for I cry unto Thee kol hayom.

⁴ Samei’ach (rejoice) the nefesh of Thy eved; for unto Thee, Adonoi, do I lift up my nefesh.

⁵ For Thou, Adonoi, art tov, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in chesed unto all them that call upon Thee.

⁶ Give ear, Hashem, unto my tefillah (prayer); and attend to the voice of my techinnot (supplications).

⁷ In my yom tzoros I will call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me.

⁸ Ein kamocha vaelohim (there is none like Thee among the g-ds), Adonoi; nor are there any ma’asim like Thine.

⁹ Kol Goyim whom Thou hast made shall come and worship before Thee, Adonoi; and shall glorify Shimcha.

¹⁰ For Thou art gadol, and doest nifla’ot (wondrous things); Thou alone art Elohim.

⁴³ And Hashem said unto Moshe and Aharon, This is the Chukkat HaPesach: there shall no ben nekhar eat thereof;

⁴⁴ But every man’s eved that is bought for kesef, when thou hast given him bris milah, then shall he eat thereof.

⁴⁵ A toshav and a sachir shall not eat thereof.

⁴⁶ In bais echad shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth any of the basar outside the bais; neither shall ye break a bone thereof [see Yochanan 19:36 OJBC].

⁴⁷ Kol Adat Yisroel shall celebrate it.

⁴⁸ And when a ger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Pesach unto Hashem, let all his zachar receive bris milah, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is native born in ha’aretz; for no arel (uncircumcised person) shall eat thereof.

⁴⁹ Torah echad shall be to him that is native-born, and unto the ger that sojourneth among you.

⁵ For Hashem did not subject the Olam Habah, about which we are speaking, to malachim.

⁶ But someone has given solemn eidus (testimony) somewhere, "MAH ENOSH KI TIZKERENU UVEN ADAM KI TIFKEDENU? ("What is Man that You are mindful of him or the Son of Man that You care for him?

⁷ “You made him a lttle lower than the angels and you crowned him with glory and splendor and you made him ruler over the works of your hands"

⁸ KOL SHATAH TACHAT RAGLAV ("Putting everything under his feet" TEHILLIM 8:5-7). Now while Hashem subjected all things to him, he left nothing unsubjected to him, though now we do not yet see all things having been subjected to him.

⁹ But this is what we do see: Yehoshua, for a short time having been "made lower than the angels," has, because of the yissurim (suffering) of mavet (death), been "crowned with KAVOD V’HADAR" ("glory and splendor" TEHILLIM 8:6) in order that by the Chen v’Chesed Hashem on behalf of all he might taste the histalkus of mavet [Isa 53:8].
