Psalms 86
1 A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
Hear, Adonai, and 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.
Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
Show pity on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long.
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
Bring joy to the soul of your servant, for to you, 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; abundant in cheshed ·loving-kindness· to all those who call on you.
6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
Hear, Adonai, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions.
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 on 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.
There is no one like you among the deities, Lord, nor any deeds like your deeds.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
All nations you have made will come and hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship before you, Lord. They 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, Adonai. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided 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 yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forever more.
13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)
For your cheshed ·loving-kindness· is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol ·Place of the dead·. (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.
God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, and they don’t hold regard for 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, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in cheshed ·loving-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.
Turn to me, and have favor on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your servant.
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 sign of your goodness, that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed, because you, Adonai, have helped me, and comforted me.
