Psalms 86
1 A prayer of David. Incline your ear, Lord, and answer me, for I am afflicted and needy.
A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy.
2 Guard me, for I am loyal: save your servant, who trusts in you.
Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee.
3 Lord, be gracious to me, for you are my God; I cry to you all the day.
Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually.
4 Gladden the heart of your servant; for to you, Lord, I set my hope.
Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule.
5 For you, Lord, are good and forgiving, rich in love towards all who call on you.
For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee.
6 Listen, O Lord, to my prayer; attend to my plea for mercy.
Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication.
7 In the day of my trouble I call on you, with assurance that you will answer me.
In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me.
8 None of the gods is like you, Lord, nor are any works like yours.
Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes.
9 All the nations you have made will come and bow down before you, giving glory, O Lord, to your name.
All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name.
10 For great are you, and a doer of wonders; you alone are God.
For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone.
11 Teach me, O Lord, your way, that I may walk in your truth: so my heart shall rejoice in your name.
Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name.
12 I will give you thanks, O Lord, with all my heart, my God, I will honour your name forever.
I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer.
For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. (Sheol h7585)
14 Haughty men have risen up against me, O God, a band of the violent seeking my life, who think nothing of you.
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.
15 But you are a God of pity and grace, patient and rich in kindness and faithfulness; turn to me with your grace, O Lord.
But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth.
16 Grant your strength to your servant, and save the child of your handmaid.
Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd.
17 Show me a sign of your favour, which those who hate me may see with confusion, since you, Lord, are my helper and comforter.
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.
