Psalms 86

1 A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.

A Prayer of David. O Lord, incline your ear, and listen to me; for I am poor and needy.

2 Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant — who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.

Preserve my soul, for I am holy; save your servant, O God, who hopes in you.

3 Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.

Pity me, O Lord: for to you will I cry all the day.

4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

Rejoice the sold of your servant: for to you, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

5 For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

For you, O Lord, are kind, and gentle; and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon you.

6 Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications.

Give ear to my prayer, o Lord; and attend to the voice of my supplication.

7 In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.

In the day of my trouble I cried to you: for you did hear me.

8 There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none.

There is none like to you, O Lord, among the god; and there are no [works] like to your works.

9 All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.

All nations whom you have made shall come, and shall worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.

10 For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone.

For you are great, and do wonders: you are the only [and] the great God.

11 Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.

Guide me, O Lord, in your way, and I will walk in your truth: let my heart rejoice, that I may fear your name.

12 I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.

I will give you thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart; and I will glorify your name for ever.

13 For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

For your mercy is great toward me; and you have delivered my soul from the lowest hell. (Sheol h7585)

14 O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them,

O God, transgressors have risen up against me, and an assembly of violent [men] have sought my life; and have not set you before them.

15 And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

But you, O Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, longsuffering, and abundant in mercy and true.

16 Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.

Look you upon me, and have mercy upon me: give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.

17 Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!

Establish with me a token for good; and let them that hate me see [it] and be ashamed; because you, O Lord, have helped me, and comforted me.
