Psalms 86
1 A Prayer Of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.
The preier of Dauid. Lord, bowe doun thin eere, and here me; for Y am nedi and pore.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Kepe thou my lijf, for Y am holi; my God, make thou saaf thi seruaunt hopynge in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I cry all the day long.
Lord, haue thou merci on me, for Y criede al day to thee;
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
make thou glad the soule of thi seruaunt, for whi, Lord, Y haue reisid my soule to thee.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
For thou, Lord, art swete and mylde; and of myche merci to alle men inwardli clepynge thee.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
Lord, perseyue thou my preier with eeris; and yyue thou tente to the vois of my bisechyng.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; for thou wilt answer me.
In the dai of my tribulacioun Y criede to thee; for thou herdist me.
8 There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.
Lord, noon among goddis is lijk thee; and noon is euene to thi werkis.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify thy name.
Lord, alle folkis, whiche euere thou madist, schulen come, and worschipe bifore thee; and thei schulen glorifie thi name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
For thou art ful greet, and makinge merueils; thou art God aloone.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
Lord, lede thou me forth in thi weie, and Y schal entre in thi treuthe; myn herte be glad, that it drede thi name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
Mi Lord God, Y schal knouleche to thee in al myn herte; and Y schal glorifie thi name withouten ende.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest pit. (Sheol h7585)
For thi merci is greet on me; and thou deliueridist my soule fro the lower helle. (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.
God, wickid men han rise vp on me; and the synagoge of myyti men han souyt my lijf; and thei han not set forth thee in her siyt.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
And thou, Lord God, doynge merci, and merciful; pacient, and of myche merci, and sothefast.
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Biholde on me, and haue mercy on me, yyue thou the empire to thi child; and make thou saaf the sone of thin handmayden.
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,
Make thou with me a signe in good, that thei se, that haten me, and be aschamed; for thou, Lord, hast helpid me, and hast coumfortid me.
