< 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 Jehovah, Thine 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 Thy servant — who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.
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 forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.
6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
Hear, O Jehovah, 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 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.
There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy 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 Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself 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 Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice 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 confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.
13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol )
For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast 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 Thee before them,
15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
And Thou, O Lord, [art] 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 unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine 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 Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!
