Psalms 86
1 Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
The preier of Dauid. Lord, bowe doun thin eere, and here me; for Y am nedi and pore.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.
Kepe thou my lijf, for Y am holi; my God, make thou saaf thi seruaunt hopynge in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto you daily.
Lord, haue thou merci on me, for Y criede al day to thee;
4 Rejoice the soul of your servant: for unto you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
make thou glad the soule of thi seruaunt, for whi, Lord, Y haue reisid my soule to thee.
5 For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy unto all them that call upon you.
For thou, Lord, art swete and mylde; and of myche merci to alle men inwardli clepynge thee.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
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 upon you: for you will answer me.
In the dai of my tribulacioun Y criede to thee; for thou herdist me.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto you, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto your works.
Lord, noon among goddis is lijk thee; and noon is euene to thi werkis.
9 All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.
Lord, alle folkis, whiche euere thou madist, schulen come, and worschipe bifore thee; and thei schulen glorifie thi name.
10 For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are God alone.
For thou art ful greet, and makinge merueils; thou art God aloone.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your 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 will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name for evermore.
Mi Lord God, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; and Y schal glorifie thi name withouten ende.
13 For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the low hell. (Sheol h7585)
For thi merci is greet on me; and thou deliueridist my soule fro the lower helle. (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.
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 you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
And thou, Lord God, doynge merci, and merciful; pacient, and of myche merci, and sothefast.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give your strength unto your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.
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 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.
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.
