Psalms 86
1 A Prayer Of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.
A PRAYER OF DAVID. Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Your servant who is trusting to You, O You, my God.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I cry all the day long.
Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
For You, Lord, [are] good and forgiving, And abundant in kindness to all calling You.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
Hear, O YHWH, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; for thou wilt answer me.
In a day of my distress I call You, For You answer me.
8 There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, And like Your works there are none.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify thy name.
All nations that You have made Come and bow themselves before You, O Lord, And give honor to Your Name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
For You [are] great, and doing wonders, You [are] God alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
Show me, O YHWH, Your way, I walk in Your truth, My heart rejoices to fear Your Name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
I confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honor Your Name for all time.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest pit. (Sheol h7585)
For Your kindness [is] great toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
14 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.
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,
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a son of Your handmaid.
17 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,
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!
