< Psalms 86 >
1 A prayer of David. Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You.
Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I call to You all day long.
Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
4 Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
5 For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.
For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
6 Hear my prayer, O LORD, and attend to my plea for mercy.
Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
7 In the day of my distress I call on You, because You answer me.
In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
8 O Lord, there is none like You among the gods, nor any works like Yours.
Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
9 All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.
All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
10 For You are great and perform wonders; You alone are God.
For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, that I may walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.
Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name.
12 I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever.
I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.
13 For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol. (Sheol )
For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol )
14 The arrogant rise against me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, with no regard for You.
O God, the proude are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought my soule, and haue not set thee before them.
15 But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.
But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
16 Turn to me and have mercy; grant Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your maidservant.
Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
17 Show me a sign of Your goodness, that my enemies may see and be ashamed; for You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.
