Psalms 86

A Prayer of David.A Prayer…: or, A Prayer, being a Psalm of David.

1Bow downH5186 thine earH241, O YhwhH3068, hearH6030 me: for I am poorH6041 and needyH34.

2PreserveH8104 my soulH5315; for I am holyH2623: O thou my GodH430, saveH3467 thy servantH5650 that trustethH982 in thee.1

3Be mercifulH2603 unto me, O LordH136: for I cryH7121 unto thee dailyH3117.2

4RejoiceH8055 the soulH5315 of thy servantH5650: for unto thee, O LordH136, do I lift upH5375 my soulH5315.

5For thou, LordH136, art goodH2896, and ready to forgiveH5546; and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617 unto all them that callH7121 upon thee.

6Give earH238, O YhwhH3068, unto my prayerH8605; and attendH7181 to the voiceH6963 of my supplicationsH8469.

7In the dayH3117 of my troubleH6869 I will callH7121 upon thee: for thou wilt answerH6030 me.

8Among the godsH430 there is none like unto thee, O LordH136; neither are there any works like unto thy worksH4639.

9All nationsH1471 whom thou hast madeH6213 shall comeH935 and worshipH7812 beforeH6440 thee, O LordH136; and shall glorifyH3513 thy nameH8034.

10For thou art greatH1419, and doestH6213 wondrous thingsH6381: thou art GodH430 alone.

11TeachH3384 me thy wayH1870, O YhwhH3068; I will walkH1980 in thy truthH571: uniteH3161 my heartH3824 to fearH3372 thy nameH8034.

12I will praiseH3034 thee, O LordH136 my GodH430, with all my heartH3824: and I will glorifyH3513 thy nameH8034 for evermoreH5769.

13For greatH1419 is thy mercyH2617 toward me: and thou hast deliveredH5337 my soulH5315 from the lowestH8482 hellH7585.3

14O GodH430, the proudH2086 are risenH6965 against me, and the assembliesH5712 of violentH6184 men have soughtH1245 after my soulH5315; and have not setH7760 thee before them.4

15But thou, O LordH136, art a GodH410 full of compassionH7349, and graciousH2587, longsufferingH639H750, and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617 and truthH571.

16O turnH6437 unto me, and have mercyH2603 upon me; giveH5414 thy strengthH5797 unto thy servantH5650, and saveH3467 the sonH1121 of thine handmaidH519.

17ShewH6213 me a tokenH226 for goodH2896; that they which hateH8130 me may seeH7200 it, and be ashamedH954: because thou, YhwhH3068, hast holpenH5826 me, and comfortedH5162 me.
