Psalms 86

1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thy ear, O LORD, hear 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] holy: 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 to me, O LORD: for I cry to thee daily.

Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.

4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to 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 abundant in mercy to 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, to my prayer; and attend to 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 Among the gods [there is] none like thee, O LORD; neither [are there any works] like 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 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 all my 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 towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (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 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 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; long-suffering, and abundant 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 to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.

Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a son of Your 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.

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!
