Psalms 86
1 A Prayer of David. O Lord, incline your ear, and listen to me; for I am poor and needy.
Yahweh, listen [IDM] to what I say and answer me, because I am weak and needy.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am holy; save your servant, O God, who hopes in you.
Prevent me from dying now, because I (am loyal to/continue to believe in) you; save/rescue me, because I serve you and I trust in you, my God.
3 Pity me, O Lord: for to you will I cry all the day.
Lord, be kind to me, because I cry out to you all during the day.
4 Rejoice the sold of your servant: for to you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
Lord, cause me to be glad, because I (pray to/worship) [IDM] you.
5 For you, O Lord, are kind, and gentle; and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon you.
Lord, you are good [to us], and you forgive [us]; you faithfully love very much all those who (pray/call out) to you.
6 Give ear to my prayer, o Lord; and attend to the voice of my supplication.
Lord, listen to my prayer; hear me when I cry out to you to help me.
7 In the day of my trouble I cried to you: for you did hear me.
When I have troubles, I call out to you, because you answer me.
8 There is none like to you, O Lord, amongst the god; and there are no [works] like to your works.
Lord, among all the gods [whom the heathen nations worship], there is no one like you; not one of them has done [the great things] that you have done.
9 All nations whom you have made shall come, and shall worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.
Lord, [some day, people from] all the nations that you have established will come and bow down in front of you and they will praise you [MTY].
10 For you are great, and do wonders: you are the only [and] the great God.
You are great, and you do wonderful/marvelous things; only you are God.
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.
Yahweh, teach me what you want me to do in order that I may conduct my life according to what you say, which is true. Cause/Teach me to revere you.
12 I will give you thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and I will glorify your name for ever.
Lord, my God, I [will] thank you with all my inner being, and I will praise you forever.
13 For your mercy is great towards me; and you have delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
You faithfully love me very much; you have prevented me from [dying and going to] the place where dead people are. (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.
But God, proud men are [trying to] attack me; a gang/group of cruel men are wanting to kill me; they are men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.
15 But you, O Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and true.
But Lord, you always are mercifully and kind; you do not become angry quickly, you faithfully love us very much and always do for us what you have promised to do.
16 Look you upon me, and have mercy upon me: give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.
Look down toward me and be merciful to me; cause me to be strong and save/rescue me who serves you [faithfully] like my mother did.
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.
Yahweh, do something to show me that you are being good to me in order that those who hate me will see that you have encouraged me and helped me, and as a result they will be ashamed.
