Psalms 86
1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I [am] poor and needy.
“A prayer of David.” Incline thine ear, O LORD! and hear me, For I am poor and distressed!
2 Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Preserve my life, for I am devoted to thee! Save, O thou my God! thy servant who trusteth in thee!
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
Have pity upon me, O Lord! For to thee do I cry daily!
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Revive the soul of thy servant, For to thee, O Lord! do I lift up my soul!
5 For thou, Lord, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; Yea, rich in mercy to all that call upon thee!
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
Give ear, O LORD! to my prayer, And attend to the voice 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 call upon thee, For thou dost answer me!
8 Among the gods [there is] none like unto thee, O Lord; neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord! And there are no works like thy works!
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.
All the nations which thou hast made must come and worship before thee, O Lord! And glorify thy name!
10 For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou [art] God alone.
For great art thou, and wondrous are thy works; Thou alone art God!
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
Teach me, O LORD! thy way, That I may walk in thy truth; Unite all my heart to fear thy name!
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
I will praise thee, O Lord, my God! with my whole heart; I will give glory to thy name for ever!
13 For great [is] thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
For thy kindness to me hath been great; Thou hast delivered me from the depths of the underworld! (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 thee before them.
O God! the proud have risen against me; Bands of cruel men seek my life, And set not thee before their eyes.
15 But thou, O Lord, [art] a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
But thou, O Lord! art a God full of compassion and kindness, Long-suffering, rich in mercy and truth!
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Look upon me, and have compassion upon me! Give thy strength to thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid!
17 Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see [it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.
Show me a token for good, That my enemies may see it and be confounded; Because thou, O LORD! helpest and comfortest me!
