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 himself. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear me. For I am needy and poor.
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 holy. My God, bring salvation to your servant who hopes in you.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
O Lord, be merciful to me, for I have cried out to you all day long.
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
Give joy to the soul of your servant, for I have lifted up my soul to you, Lord.
5 For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
For you are sweet and mild, Lord, and plentiful in mercy to all who call upon you.
6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
Pay attention, Lord, to my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplication.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
In the day of my tribulation, I cried out to you, because you heeded me.
8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
There is no one like you among the gods, O Lord, and there is no one like you in your works.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
All the nations, which you have made, will draw near and adore in your presence, 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 you 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.
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.
12 I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.
I will confess to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart. And I will glorify your name in eternity.
13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)
For your mercy toward me is great, and you have rescued my soul from the lower part of Hell. (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.
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.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
And you, Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, being patient and full of mercy and truthful.
16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
Look down upon me and have mercy on me. Grant your authority to your servant, and bring salvation to the son of your handmaid.
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.
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.
