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.
