Psalms 86
1 A Prayer of David. O Lord, incline your ear, and listen to me; for I am poor and needy.
The preier of Dauid. Lord, bowe doun thin eere, and here me; for Y am nedi and pore.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am holy; save your servant, O God, who hopes in you.
Kepe thou my lijf, for Y am holi; my God, make thou saaf thi seruaunt hopynge in thee.
3 Pity me, O Lord: for to you will I cry all the day.
Lord, haue thou merci on me, for Y criede al day to thee;
4 Rejoice the sold of your servant: for to you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
make thou glad the soule of thi seruaunt, for whi, Lord, Y haue reisid my soule to thee.
5 For you, O Lord, are kind, and gentle; and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon you.
For thou, Lord, art swete and mylde; and of myche merci to alle men inwardli clepynge thee.
6 Give ear to my prayer, o Lord; and attend to the voice of my supplication.
Lord, perseyue thou my preier with eeris; and yyue thou tente to the vois of my bisechyng.
7 In the day of my trouble I cried to you: for you did hear me.
In the dai of my tribulacioun Y criede to thee; for thou herdist me.
8 There is none like to you, O Lord, amongst the god; and there are no [works] like to your works.
Lord, noon among goddis is lijk thee; and noon is euene to thi werkis.
9 All nations whom you have made shall come, and shall worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.
Lord, alle folkis, whiche euere thou madist, schulen come, and worschipe bifore thee; and thei schulen glorifie thi name.
10 For you are great, and do wonders: you are the only [and] the great God.
For thou art ful greet, and makinge merueils; thou art God aloone.
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.
Lord, lede thou me forth in thi weie, and Y schal entre in thi treuthe; myn herte be glad, that it drede thi name.
12 I will give you thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and I will glorify your name for ever.
Mi Lord God, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; and Y schal glorifie thi name withouten ende.
13 For your mercy is great towards me; and you have delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
For thi merci is greet on me; and thou deliueridist my soule fro the lower helle. (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.
God, wickid men han rise vp on me; and the synagoge of myyti men han souyt my lijf; and thei han not set forth thee in her siyt.
15 But you, O Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and true.
And thou, Lord God, doynge merci, and merciful; pacient, and of myche merci, and sothefast.
16 Look you upon me, and have mercy upon me: give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.
Biholde on me, and haue mercy on me, yyue thou the empire to thi child; and make thou saaf the sone of thin handmayden.
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.
Make thou with me a signe in good, that thei se, that haten me, and be aschamed; for thou, Lord, hast helpid me, and hast coumfortid me.
