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 thine ear, O LORD! and hear me, For I am poor and distressed!
2 Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
Preserve my life, for I am devoted to thee! Save, O thou my God! thy servant who trusteth in thee!
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
Have pity upon me, O Lord! For to thee do I cry daily!
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
Revive the soul of thy servant, For to thee, 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 thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; Yea, rich 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 supplication!
7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
In the day of my trouble I call upon thee, For thou dost 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 thee, O Lord! And there are no works like 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 which thou hast made must come and worship before thee, O Lord! And glorify thy name!
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
For great art thou, and wondrous are thy works; Thou alone art 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, O LORD! thy way, That I may walk in thy truth; Unite all my heart to 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; I will give glory to 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 kindness to me hath been great; Thou hast delivered me from the depths of the underworld! (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 proud have risen against me; Bands of cruel men seek my life, And set not thee before their eyes.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
But thou, O Lord! art a God full of compassion and kindness, Long-suffering, rich 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.
Look upon me, and have compassion upon me! Give thy strength 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.
Show me a token for good, That my enemies may see it and be confounded; Because thou, O LORD! helpest and comfortest me!
