< Psalms 86 >

1 A PRAYER OF DAVID. Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Your servant who is trusting to You, O You, my God.
Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.
3 Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.
Be merciful to me, O Lord: for I cry to you daily.
4 Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
Rejoice the soul of your servant: for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For You, Lord, [are] good and forgiving, And abundant in kindness to all calling You.
For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy to all them that call on you.
6 Hear, O YHWH, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.
Give ear, O LORD, to 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 trouble I will call on you: for you will 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 to you, O Lord; neither are there any works like to your 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 you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.
10 For You [are] great, and doing wonders, You [are] God alone.
For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are God alone.
11 Show me, O YHWH, Your way, I walk in Your truth, My heart rejoices to fear Your Name.
Teach me your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your name.
12 I confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honor Your Name for all time.
I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your name for ever more.
13 For Your kindness [is] great toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
For great is your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (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 assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.
15 And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16 Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a son of Your handmaid.
O turn to me, and have mercy on me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your 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!
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.
