Psalms 86

1 A Prayer of David. O Lord, incline thine ear, and hearken to me; for I am poor and needy.

A PRAYER OF DAVID. Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.

2 Preserve my soul, for I am holy; save thy servant, O God, who hopes in thee.

Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Your servant who is trusting to You, O You, my God.

3 Pity me, O Lord: for to thee will I cry all the day.

Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.

4 Rejoice the sold of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

5 For thou, O Lord, art kind, and gentle; and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.

For You, Lord, [are] good and forgiving, And abundant in kindness to all calling You.

6 Give ear to my prayer, o Lord; and attend to the voice of my supplication.

Hear, O YHWH, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.

7 In the day of my trouble I cried to thee: for thou didst hear me.

In a day of my distress I call You, For You answer me.

8 There is none like to thee, O Lord, among the god; and there are no [works] like to thy works.

There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, And like Your works there are none.

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

All nations that You have made Come and bow themselves before You, O Lord, And give honor to Your Name.

10 For thou art great, and doest wonders: thou art the only [and] the great God.

For You [are] great, and doing wonders, You [are] God alone.

11 Guide me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice, that I may fear thy name.

Show me, O YHWH, Your way, I walk in Your truth, My heart rejoices to fear Your Name.

12 I will give thee thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and I will glorify thy name for ever.

I confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honor Your Name for all time.

13 For thy mercy is great toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)

For Your kindness [is] great toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

14 O God, transgressors have risen up against me, and an assembly of violent [men] have sought my life; and have not set thee before them.

O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed You before them,

15 But thou, O Lord God, art compassionate and merciful, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and true.

And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

16 Look thou upon me, and have mercy upon me: give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a son of Your handmaid.

17 Establish with me a token for good; and let them that hate me see [it] and be ashamed; because thou, O Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.

Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For You, O YHWH, have helped me, Indeed, You have comforted me!
