Psalms 86
1 A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
A prayer for David himself. Incline thy 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: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day.
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.
6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me.
8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.
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.
Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy 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 thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:
13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)
For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower 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 wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set thee before their eyes.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true.
16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy 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.
Shew me a token for good: that they who hate me may see, and be confounded, because thou, O Lord, hast helped me and hast comforted me.
