< Psalmorum 86 >

1 Oratio ipsi David. Inclina Domine aurem tuam, et exaudi me: quoniam inops, et pauper sum ego.
Yahweh, listen [IDM] to what I say and answer me, because I am weak and needy.
2 Custodi animam meam, quoniam sanctus sum: salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperantem in te.
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.
3 Miserere mei Domine, quoniam ad te clamavi tota die:
Lord, be kind to me, because I cry out to you all during the day.
4 lætifica animam servi tui, quoniam ad te Domine animam meam levavi.
Lord, cause me to be glad, because I (pray to/worship) [IDM] you.
5 Quoniam tu Domine suavis, et mitis: et multæ misericordiæ omnibus invocantibus te.
Lord, you are good [to us], and you forgive [us]; you faithfully love very much all those who (pray/call out) to you.
6 Auribus percipe Domine orationem meam: et intende voci deprecationis meæ.
Lord, listen to my prayer; hear me when I cry out to you to help me.
7 In die tribulationis meæ clamavi ad te: quia exaudisti me.
When I have troubles, I call out to you, because you answer me.
8 Non est similis tui in diis Domine: et non est secundum opera tua.
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.
9 Omnes gentes quascumque fecisti, venient, et adorabunt coram te Domine: et glorificabunt nomen tuum.
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].
10 Quoniam magnus es tu, et faciens mirabilia: tu es Deus solus.
You are great, and you do wonderful/marvelous things; only you are God.
11 Deduc me Domine in via tua, et ingrediar in veritate tua: lætetur cor meum ut timeat nomen tuum.
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.
12 Confitebor tibi Domine Deus meus in toto corde meo. Et glorificabo nomen tuum in æternum:
Lord, my God, I [will] thank you with all my inner being, and I will praise you forever.
13 Quia misericordia tua magna est super me: et eruisti animam meam ex inferno inferiori. (Sheol h7585)
You faithfully love me very much; you have prevented me from [dying and going to] the place where dead people are. (Sheol h7585)
14 Deus, iniqui insurrexerunt super me, et synagoga potentium quæsierunt animam meam: et non proposuerunt te in conspectu suo.
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.
15 Et tu Domine Deus miserator et misericors, patiens, et multæ misericordiæ, et verax.
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.
16 Respice in me, et miserere mei, da imperium tuum puero tuo: et salvum fac filium ancillæ tuæ.
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.
17 Fac mecum signum in bonum, ut videant qui oderunt me, et confundantur: quoniam tu Domine adiuvisti me, et consolatus es me.
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.
