Psalms 86
1 A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
The preier of Dauid. Lord, bowe doun thin eere, and here me; for Y am nedi and pore.
2 Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
Kepe thou my lijf, for Y am holi; my God, make thou saaf thi seruaunt hopynge in thee.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
Lord, haue thou merci on me, for Y criede al day to thee;
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
make thou glad the soule of thi seruaunt, for whi, Lord, Y haue reisid my soule to thee.
5 For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
For thou, Lord, art swete and mylde; and of myche merci to alle men inwardli clepynge thee.
6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
Lord, perseyue thou my preier with eeris; and yyue thou tente to the vois of my bisechyng.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
In the dai of my tribulacioun Y criede to thee; for thou herdist me.
8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
Lord, noon among goddis is lijk thee; and noon is euene to thi werkis.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
Lord, alle folkis, whiche euere thou madist, schulen come, and worschipe bifore thee; and thei schulen glorifie thi name.
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
For thou art ful greet, and makinge merueils; thou art God aloone.
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.
Lord, lede thou me forth in thi weie, and Y schal entre in thi treuthe; myn herte be glad, that it drede thi name.
12 I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.
Mi Lord God, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; and Y schal glorifie thi name withouten ende.
13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)
For thi merci is greet on me; and thou deliueridist my soule fro the lower helle. (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, wickid men han rise vp on me; and the synagoge of myyti men han souyt my lijf; and thei han not set forth thee in her siyt.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
And thou, Lord God, doynge merci, and merciful; pacient, and of myche merci, and sothefast.
16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
Biholde on me, and haue mercy on me, yyue thou the empire to thi child; and make thou saaf the sone of thin handmayden.
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.
Make thou with me a signe in good, that thei se, that haten me, and be aschamed; for thou, Lord, hast helpid me, and hast coumfortid me.
