Psalms 86

A Prayer of David.

1Bow downH5186 thine earH241, O Jehovah, and answerH6030 me;For I am poorH6041 and needyH34.2PreserveH8104 my soulH5315; for I am godly:O thou my GodH430, saveH3467 thy servantH5650 that trusteth in thee.3Be merciful unto me, O LordH136;For unto thee do I cry all the dayH3117 long.4RejoiceH8055 the soulH5315 of thy servantH5650;For unto thee, O LordH136, do I liftH5375 up my soulH5315.5For thou, LordH136, art goodH2896, and ready to forgive,And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that callH7121 upon thee.6GiveH238 earH238, O Jehovah, unto my prayerH8605;And hearken unto the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469.7In the dayH3117 of my troubleH6869 I will callH7121 upon thee;For thou wilt answerH6030 me.8There is none like unto thee among the godsH430, O LordH136;Neitherare there any worksH4639like unto thy worksH4639.9All nationsH1471 whom thou hast madeH6213 shall comeH935 and worship before thee, O LordH136;And they shall glorifyH3513 thy nameH8034.10For thou art greatH1419, and doest wondrous thingsH1419:Thou art GodH430 aloneH905.11TeachH3384 me thy wayH1870, O Jehovah; I will walkH1980 in thy truthH571:Unite my heartH3824 to fearH3372 thy nameH8034.12I will praiseH3034 thee, O LordH136 my GodH430, with my whole heartH3824;And I will glorifyH3513 thy nameH8034 for evermore.13For greatH1419 is thy lovingkindness toward me;And thou hast deliveredH5337 my soulH5315 from the lowest SheolH7585.14O GodH430, the proud are risenH6965 up against me,And a companyH5712 of violent men have soughtH1245 after my soulH5315,And have not setH7760 thee before them.15But thou, O LordH136, art a GodH410 merciful and graciousH2587,Slow to angerH639, and abundant in lovingkindness and truthH571.16Oh turnH6437 unto me, and have mercy upon me;GiveH5414 thy strengthH5797 unto thy servantH5650,And saveH3467 the sonH1121 of thy handmaid.17ShowH7200 me a token for goodH2896,That they who hateH8130 me may seeH7200 it, and be putH954 to shameH954,Because thou, Jehovah, hast helpedH5826 me, and comfortedH5162 me.
