Psalms 86

1A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I <FI>am<Fi> poor and needy.

1 Incline thine ear, Jehovah, answer me; for I am afflicted and needy.

2Keep my soul, for I <FI>am<Fi> pious, Save Thy servant--who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God.

2 Keep my soul, for I amgodly; O thou myGod, save thy servant who confideth in thee.

3Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day.

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

4Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up.

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

5For Thou, Lord, <FI>art<Fi> good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee.

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

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

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

7In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.

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

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

8 Among thegods there is none like unto thee, Lord, and there is nothing like unto thy works.

9All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name.

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

10For great <FI>art<Fi> Thou, and doing wonders, Thou <FI>art<Fi> God Thyself alone.

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

11Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name.

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

12I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age.

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

13For Thy kindness <FI>is<Fi> great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

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

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

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

15And Thou, O Lord, <FI>art<Fi> God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth.

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

16Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid.

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

17Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!

17 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.
