Psalms 86

1 A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.

A Prayer of David. Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.

2 Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.

Keep my soul, for I am godly; O thou my God, save thy servant who confideth in thee.

3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.

Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I call all the day.

4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5 For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and art of great loving-kindness unto all that call upon thee.

6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.

Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplications.

7 In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.

In the day of my distress I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.

8 Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.

9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorify thy name.

10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God, thou alone.

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name.

Teach me thy way, Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

12 I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13 For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)

For great is thy loving-kindness toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

14 O God, the proude are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought my soule, and haue not set thee before them.

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of the violent seek after my soul, and they have not set thee before them.

15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.

But thou, Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth.

16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.

Turn toward me, and be gracious unto me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

17 Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.

Shew me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed; for thou, Jehovah, hast helped me and comforted me.
