Psalms 86

1 Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

A PRAYER OF DAVID. Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.

2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.

Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Your servant who is trusting to You, O You, my God.

3 Be merciful to me, O Lord: for I cry to you daily.

Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.

4 Rejoice the soul of your servant: for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy to all them that call on you.

For You, Lord, [are] good and forgiving, And abundant in kindness to all calling You.

6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

Hear, O YHWH, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.

7 In the day of my trouble I will call on you: for you will answer me.

In a day of my distress I call You, For You answer me.

8 Among the gods there is none like to you, O Lord; neither are there any works like to your works.

There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, And like Your works there are none.

9 All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.

All nations that You have made Come and bow themselves before You, O Lord, And give honor to Your Name.

10 For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are God alone.

For You [are] great, and doing wonders, You [are] God alone.

11 Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your name.

Show me, O YHWH, Your way, I walk in Your truth, My heart rejoices to fear Your Name.

12 I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name for ever more.

I confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honor Your Name for all time.

13 For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)

For Your kindness [is] great toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

14 O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.

O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed You before them,

15 But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

16 O turn to me, and have mercy on me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.

Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a son of Your handmaid.

17 Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.

Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For You, O YHWH, have helped me, Indeed, You have comforted me!
