Psalms 86
1 “A prayer of David.” Incline thine ear, O LORD! and hear me, For I am poor and distressed!
A Prayer of David. Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.
2 Preserve my life, for I am devoted to thee! Save, O thou my God! thy servant who trusteth in thee!
Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.
3 Have pity upon me, O Lord! For to thee do I cry daily!
Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.
4 Revive the soul of thy servant, For to thee, O Lord! do I lift up my soul!
Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; Yea, rich in mercy to all that call upon thee!
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, O LORD! to my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplication!
Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I call upon thee, For thou dost answer me!
In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord! And there are no works like thy works!
Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.
9 All the nations which thou hast made must come and worship before thee, O Lord! And glorify thy name!
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.
10 For great art thou, and wondrous are thy works; Thou alone art God!
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.
11 Teach me, O LORD! thy way, That I may walk in thy truth; Unite all my heart to fear thy name!
Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord, my God! with my whole heart; I will give glory to thy name for ever!
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13 For thy kindness to me hath been great; Thou hast delivered me from the depths of the underworld! (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 against me; Bands of cruel men seek my life, And set not thee before their eyes.
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 But thou, O Lord! art a God full of compassion and kindness, Long-suffering, rich in mercy and truth!
But thou, Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.
16 Look upon me, and have compassion upon me! Give thy strength to thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid!
Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17 Show me a token for good, That my enemies may see it and be confounded; Because thou, O LORD! helpest and comfortest 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.
