Psalms 86

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

A Prayer Of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.

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

Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

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

Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I cry all the day long.

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

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

5 For you, O Lord, are kind, and gentle; and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon you.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

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

Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and hearken unto the voice of my supplications.

7 In the day of my trouble I cried to you: for you did hear me.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; for thou wilt answer me.

8 There is none like to you, O Lord, amongst the god; and there are no [works] like to your works.

There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.

9 All nations whom you have made shall come, and shall worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.

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

10 For you are great, and do wonders: you are the only [and] the great God.

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

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

Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

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

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13 For your mercy is great towards me; and you have delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)

For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest pit. (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 you before them.

O God, the proud are risen up against me, and the congregation of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee before them.

15 But you, O Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and true.

But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

16 Look you upon me, and have mercy upon me: give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.

O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

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

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me,
