< Psalms 86 >
1 A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear 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 holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto you daily.
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
Rejoice the soul of your servant: for unto you, O Lord, do 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, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy unto all them that call upon you.
6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon you: for you will answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
Among the gods there is none like unto you, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto your works.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are 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.
Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to 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: and I will glorify your name for evermore.
13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol )
For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the low hell. (Sheol )
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 proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.
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 God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give your strength unto your servant, and save 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.
Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
