Psalms 86
1 A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
A prayer of David. Incline Your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You are my God; save Your servant who trusts in You.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
Be merciful to me, O Lord, for I call to You all day long.
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
Bring joy to Your servant, for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
For You, O Lord, are kind and forgiving, rich in loving devotion to all who call on You.
6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
Hear my prayer, O LORD, and attend to my plea for mercy.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
In the day of my distress I call on You, because You answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
O Lord, there is none like You among the gods, nor any works like Yours.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
All the nations You have made will come and bow before You, O Lord, and they will glorify Your name.
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
For You are great and perform wonders; You alone are God.
11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name.
Teach me Your way, O LORD, that I may walk in Your truth. Give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.
12 I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.
I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever.
13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)
For great is Your loving devotion to me; You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, the proude are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought my soule, and haue not set thee before them.
The arrogant rise against me, O God; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, with no regard for You.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
But You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness.
16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
Turn to me and have mercy; grant Your strength to Your servant; save the son of Your maidservant.
17 Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.
Show me a sign of Your goodness, that my enemies may see and be ashamed; for You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
