Psalms 86
1 Yahweh, listen [IDM] to what I say and answer me, because I am weak and needy.
A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
2 Prevent me from dying now, because I (am loyal to/continue to believe in) you; save/rescue me, because I serve you and I trust in you, my God.
Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
3 Lord, be kind to me, because I cry out to you all during the day.
Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
4 Lord, cause me to be glad, because I (pray to/worship) [IDM] you.
Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
5 Lord, you are good [to us], and you forgive [us]; you faithfully love very much all those who (pray/call out) to you.
For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
6 Lord, listen to my prayer; hear me when I cry out to you to help me.
Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
7 When I have troubles, I call out to you, because you answer me.
In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
8 Lord, among all the gods [whom the heathen nations worship], there is no one like you; not one of them has done [the great things] that you have done.
Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
9 Lord, [some day, people from] all the nations that you have established will come and bow down in front of you and they will praise you [MTY].
All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
10 You are great, and you do wonderful/marvelous things; only you are God.
For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
11 Yahweh, teach me what you want me to do in order that I may conduct my life according to what you say, which is true. Cause/Teach me to revere you.
Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name.
12 Lord, my God, I [will] thank you with all my inner being, and I will praise you forever.
I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.
13 You faithfully love me very much; you have prevented me from [dying and going to] the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)
14 But God, proud men are [trying to] attack me; a gang/group of cruel men are wanting to kill me; they are men who do not have any (respect for/interest in) you.
O God, the proude are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought my soule, and haue not set thee before them.
15 But Lord, you always are mercifully and kind; you do not become angry quickly, you faithfully love us very much and always do for us what you have promised to do.
But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
16 Look down toward me and be merciful to me; cause me to be strong and save/rescue me who serves you [faithfully] like my mother did.
Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
17 Yahweh, do something to show me that you are being good to me in order that those who hate me will see that you have encouraged me and helped me, and as a result they will be ashamed.
Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.
