Psalms - Chapter 86

1A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I `am' poor and needy. 2Keep my soul, for I `am' pious, Save Thy servant -- who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God. 3Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day. 4Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up. 5For Thou, Lord, `art' good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee. 6Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications. 7In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me. 8There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none. 9All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name. 10For great `art' Thou, and doing wonders, Thou `art' God Thyself alone. 11Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name. 12I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age. 13For Thy kindness `is' great 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, 15And Thou, O Lord, `art' God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth. 16Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a 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!
