Psalms 86

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

A Prayer Of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, and answer 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 godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

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

Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I cry all the day long.

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, 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 thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

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

Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and hearken unto 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 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.

There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; neither [are there any works] 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 they 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 alone.

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

Teach me thy way, O LORD; 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 mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest pit. (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 up against me, and the congregation of violent men have sought after my soul, and 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, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, 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 unto me, and have mercy upon 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, because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me,
