Psalms 86
1 A Prayer of David himself. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear me. For I am needy and poor.
A Prayer of David. O Lord, incline thine ear, and hearken to me; for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am holy. My God, bring salvation to your servant who hopes in you.
Preserve my soul, for I am holy; save thy servant, O God, who hopes in thee.
3 O Lord, be merciful to me, for I have cried out to you all day long.
Pity me, O Lord: for to thee will I cry all the day.
4 Give joy to the soul of your servant, for I have lifted up my soul to you, Lord.
Rejoice the sold of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
5 For you are sweet and mild, Lord, and plentiful in mercy to all who call upon you.
For thou, O Lord, art kind, and gentle; and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.
6 Pay attention, Lord, to my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplication.
Give ear to my prayer, o Lord; and attend to the voice of my supplication.
7 In the day of my tribulation, I cried out to you, because you heeded me.
In the day of my trouble I cried to thee: for thou didst hear me.
8 There is no one like you among the gods, O Lord, and there is no one like you in your works.
There is none like to thee, O Lord, among the god; and there are no [works] like to thy works.
9 All the nations, which you have made, will draw near and adore in your presence, O Lord. And they will glorify your name.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come, and shall worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
10 For you are great, and you perform wonders. You alone are God.
For thou art great, and doest wonders: thou art the only [and] the great God.
11 Lead me, O Lord, in your way, and I will walk in your truth. May my heart rejoice, so that it will fear your name.
Guide me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice, that I may fear thy name.
12 I will confess to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart. And I will glorify your name in eternity.
I will give thee thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and I will glorify thy name for ever.
13 For your mercy toward me is great, and you have rescued my soul from the lower part of Hell. (Sheol h7585)
For thy mercy is great toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, the iniquitous have risen up against me, and the synagogue of the powerful have sought my soul, and they have not placed you in their sight.
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.
15 And you, Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, being patient and full of mercy and truthful.
But thou, O Lord God, art compassionate and merciful, long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and true.
16 Look down upon me and have mercy on me. Grant your authority to your servant, and bring salvation to the son of your handmaid.
Look thou upon me, and have mercy upon me: give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Make me a sign of what is good, so that those who hate me, may look and be confounded. For you, O Lord, have helped me and consoled me.
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.
