Psalms 86

A Prayer. Of David. Let your ears be open to my voice, O Lord, and give me an answer; for I am poor and in need. | A Prayer of David Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me; For I am poor and needy. |
Keep my soul, for I am true to you; O my God, give salvation to your servant, whose hope is in you. | Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. |
Have mercy on me, O Lord; for my cry goes up to you all the day. | Be merciful unto me, O Lord; For unto thee do I cry all the day long. |
Make glad the soul of your servant; for it is lifted up to you, O Lord. | Rejoice the soul of thy servant; For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. |
You are good, O Lord, and full of forgiveness; your mercy is great to all who make their cry to you. | For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee. |
O Lord, give ear to my prayer; and take note of the sound of my requests. | Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications. |
In the day of my trouble I send up my cry to you; for you will give me an answer. | In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; For thou wilt answer me. |
There is no god like you, O Lord; there are no works like your works. | There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither [are there any works] like unto thy works. |
Let all the nations whom you have made come and give worship to you, O Lord, giving glory to your name. | All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify thy name. |
For you are great, and do great works of wonder; you only are God. | For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone. |
Make your way clear to me, O Lord; I will go on my way in your faith: let my heart be glad in the fear of your name. | Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name. |
I will give you praise, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will give glory to your name for ever. | I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify thy name for evermore. |
For your mercy to me is great; you have taken my soul up from the deep places of the underworld. | For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. |
O God, men of pride have come up against me, and the army of violent men would take my life; they have not put you before them. | O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them. |
But you, O Lord, are a God full of pity and forgiveness, slow to get angry, great in mercy and wisdom. | But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. |
O be turned to me and have mercy on me: give your strength to your servant, and your salvation to the son of her who is your servant. | Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid. |
Give me a sign for good; so that my haters may see it and be shamed; because you, Lord, have been my help and comfort. | Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me. |
