Psalms 86
1 “A prayer of David.” Incline, O Lord, thy ear, answer me; for poor and needy am I.
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 pious: help thy servant, O thou my God, that trusteth in thee.
Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
3 Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee I call all the time.
Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
4 Cause to rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift my soul.
Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
5 For thou, O Lord, art good and forgiving, and abundant in kindness unto all that call on thee.
For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
6 Give ear, O Lord, 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 On the day of my distress will I call on thee; for thou wilt answer me.
In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
8 There is none like unto thee among the Gods, O Lord; and there is nothing like thy works.
Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
9 All the nations whom thou hast made shall come and bow themselves down before thee, O Lord; and they shall ascribe honor unto thy name.
All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
10 For great art thou, and doing wondrous things: thou art God by thyself alone.
For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
11 Teach me, O Lord, thy way; I will walk firmly 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 thank thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will honor 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 thy kindness is great toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the grave of the lower world. (Sheol h7585)
For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, the presumptuous are risen up against me, and the assembly of the powerful wicked have sought after my life, 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 Lord, art God, full of mercy, and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in kindness and truth.
But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
16 Oh turn unto me, and be gracious unto me: give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
17 Display on me a sign for good, that those who hate me may see it, and be ashamed; because thou, Lord, 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.
