< Psalms 86 >

1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thy ear, O LORD, hear me: for I [am] poor and needy.
A prayer for David himself. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.
2 Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.
3 Be merciful to me, O LORD: for I cry to thee daily.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
5 For thou, LORD, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee.
For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me.
8 Among the gods [there is] none like thee, O LORD; neither [are there any works] like thy works.
There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O LORD; and shall glorify thy name.
All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.
10 For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou [art] God alone.
For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O LORD my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:
13 For great [is] thy mercy towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)
For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell. (Sheol h7585)
14 O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent [men] have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.
O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set thee before their eyes.
15 But thou, O LORD, [art] a God full of compassion, and gracious; long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true.
16 O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
17 Show me a token for good; that they who hate me may see [it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
Shew me a token for good: that they who hate me may see, and be confounded, because thou, O Lord, hast helped me and hast comforted me.
