< 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, O YHWH, Your ear, 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.
Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Your servant who is trusting to You, O You, my God.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
Make glad the soul of 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, Lord, [are] good and forgiving, And abundant in kindness to all calling You.
6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
Hear, O YHWH, 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 a day of my distress I call You, For You answer 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 like You among the gods, O Lord, And like Your works there are none.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
All nations that You have made Come and bow themselves before You, O Lord, And give honor to Your Name.
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
For You [are] great, and doing wonders, 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.
Show me, O YHWH, Your way, I walk in Your truth, My heart rejoices 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 confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honor Your Name for all time.
13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol )
For Your kindness [is] great toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (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 have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed You before them,
15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a 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.
Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For You, O YHWH, have helped me, Indeed, You have comforted me!
