Psalms 86

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

A Prayer of David. Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.

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

Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.

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

Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.

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

Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

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

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.

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

Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.

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

In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.

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

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.

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

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.

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

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.

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

Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

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

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

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

For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

14 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,

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.

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

But thou, Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.

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

Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

17 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!

Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me.
