Psalmorum 86

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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!
