Ps 86
0 Psalm 86 A Prayer of David
1
Bow down your ear, O YHWH, and answer me; For I am poor and needy.
2
Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.
3
Be merciful to me, O Lord; For to you do I cry all the day long.
4
Rejoice the soul of your servant; For to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5
For you, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness to all
them that call upon you.
6
Give ear, O YHWH, to my prayer; And hearken to the voice of my supplications.
7
In the day of my trouble I will call upon you; For you will answer me.
8
There is none like to you among the gods, O Lord; Neither [are there any works] like
to your works.
9
All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord; And
they shall glorify your name.
10
For you are great, and do wondrous things: You are God alone.
11
Teach me your way, O YHWH; I will walk in your truth: Unite my heart to fear your
name.
12
I will praise you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; And I will glorify your name
for evermore.
13
For great is your lovingkindness toward me; And you have delivered my soul from the
lowest Sheol.
14
O God, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought
after my soul, And have not set you before them.
15
But you, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness
and truth.
16
Oh turn to me, and have mercy upon me; Give your strength to your servant, And save
the son of your handmaid.
17
Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because
you, YHWH, have helped me, and comforted me.
