Psalms 86
1 A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
Yahweh, listen [IDM] to what I say and answer me, because I am weak and needy.
2 Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
Prevent me from dying now, because I (am loyal to/continue to believe in) you; save/rescue me, because I serve you and I trust in you, my God.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
Lord, be kind to me, because I cry out to you all during the day.
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
Lord, cause me to be glad, because I (pray to/worship) [IDM] you.
5 For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
Lord, you are good [to us], and you forgive [us]; you faithfully love very much all those who (pray/call out) to you.
6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
Lord, listen to my prayer; hear me when I cry out to you to help me.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
When I have troubles, I call out to you, because you answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
Lord, among all the gods [whom the heathen nations worship], there is no one like you; not one of them has done [the great things] that you have done.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
Lord, [some day, people from] all the nations that you have established will come and bow down in front of you and they will praise you [MTY].
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
You are great, and you do wonderful/marvelous things; only you are 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.
Yahweh, teach me what you want me to do in order that I may conduct my life according to what you say, which is true. Cause/Teach me to revere you.
12 I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.
Lord, my God, I [will] thank you with all my inner being, and I will praise you forever.
13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)
You faithfully love me very much; you have prevented me from [dying and going to] the place where dead people are. (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.
But God, proud men are [trying to] attack me; a gang/group of cruel men are wanting to kill me; they are men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
But Lord, you always are mercifully and kind; you do not become angry quickly, you faithfully love us very much and always do for us what you have promised to do.
16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
Look down toward me and be merciful to me; cause me to be strong and save/rescue me who serves you [faithfully] like my mother did.
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.
Yahweh, do something to show me that you are being good to me in order that those who hate me will see that you have encouraged me and helped me, and as a result they will be ashamed.
