Psalmorum 86

1 Oratio ipsi David. Inclina Domine aurem tuam, et exaudi me: quoniam inops, et pauper sum ego.

A prayer for David himself. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.

2 Custodi animam meam, quoniam sanctus sum: salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperantem in te.

Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.

3 Miserere mei Domine, quoniam ad te clamavi tota die:

Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day.

4 lætifica animam servi tui, quoniam ad te Domine animam meam levavi.

Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.

5 Quoniam tu Domine suavis, et mitis: et multæ misericordiæ omnibus invocantibus te.

For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.

6 Auribus percipe Domine orationem meam: et intende voci deprecationis meæ.

Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.

7 In die tribulationis meæ clamavi ad te: quia exaudisti me,

I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me.

8 Non est similis tui in diis Domine: et non est secundum opera tua.

There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works.

9 Omnes gentes quascumque fecisti, venient, et adorabunt coram te Domine: et glorificabunt nomen tuum.

All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.

10 Quoniam magnus es tu, et faciens mirabilia: tu es Deus solus.

For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.

11 Deduc me Domine in via tua, et ingrediar in veritate tua: lætetur cor meum ut timeat nomen tuum.

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 Confitebor tibi Domine Deus meus in toto corde meo. et glorificabo nomen tuum in æternum:

I will praise thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:

13 Quia misericordia tua magna est super me: et eruisti animam meam ex inferno inferiori. (Sheol h7585)

For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell. (Sheol h7585)

14 Deus, iniqui insurrexerunt super me, et synagoga potentium quæsierunt animam meam: et non proposuerunt te in conspectu suo.

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 Et tu Domine Deus miserator et misericors, patiens, et multæ misericordiæ, et verax,

And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true.

16 Respice in me, et miserere mei, da imperium tuum puero tuo: et salvum fac filium ancillæ tuæ.

O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.

17 Fac mecum signum in bonum, ut videant qui oderunt me, et confundantur: quoniam tu Domine adiuvisti me, et consolatus es 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.
