< Psalms 86 >
1 Bow down thine ear, O YHWH, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am dedicated: O thou my Elohim, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O YHWH: for I cry unto thee daily.
Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O YHWH, do I lift up my soul.
Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
5 For thou, YHWH, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
6 Give ear, O YHWH, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
8 Among the elohim there is none like unto thee, O YHWH; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O YHWH; and shall glorify thy name.
All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art Elohim alone.
For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O YHWH; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name.
12 I will praise thee, O YHWH my Elohim, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol )
For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol )
14 O Elohim, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
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.
15 But thou, O YHWH, art an El full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, YHWH, hast helped me, and comforted me.
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.
