Psalms 86

1 A PRAYER OF DAVID. Incline, O YHWH, Your ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy.

2 Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Your servant who is trusting to You, O You, my God.

3 Favor me, O Lord, for I call to You all the day.

4 Make glad the soul of Your servant, For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

5 For You, Lord, [are] good and forgiving, And abundant in kindness to all calling You.

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

7 In a day of my distress I call You, For You answer me.

8 There is none like You among the gods, O Lord, And like Your works there are none.

9 All nations that You have made Come and bow themselves before You, O Lord, And give honor to Your Name.

10 For You [are] great, and doing wonders, You [are] God alone.

11 Show me, O YHWH, Your way, I walk in Your truth, My heart rejoices to fear Your Name.

12 I confess You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honor Your Name for all time.

13 For Your kindness [is] great toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. (Sheol h7585)

14 O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed You before them,

15 And You, O Lord, [are] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

16 Look to me, and favor me, Give Your strength to Your servant, And give salvation to a son of Your handmaid.

17 Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For You, O YHWH, have helped me, Indeed, You have comforted me!
