< Psalms 86 >

1 A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.
3 Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto you daily.
4 Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
Rejoice the soul of your servant: for unto you, O 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 you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy unto all them that call upon you.
6 Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
Give ear, O LORD, 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 trouble I will call upon you: for you will 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 you, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto your works.
9 All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.
10 For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
For you are great, and do wondrous things: you are God 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 your way, O LORD; I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your 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 you, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify your 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 your mercy toward me: and you have delivered my soul from the low hell. (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 assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth.
16 Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give your strength unto your servant, and save the son of your 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.
Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me.
