Psalms 86

1A prayer for David himself. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.

2Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.

3Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day.

4Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.

5For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.

6Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.

7I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me.

8There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works.

9All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.

10For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.

11Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.

12I will praise thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:

13For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell.

14O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set thee before their eyes.

15And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true.

16O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.

17Shew me a token for good: that they who hate me may see, and be confounded, because thou, O Lord, hast helped me and hast comforted me.

1Oratio ipsi David. [Inclina, Domine, aurem tuam et exaudi me, quoniam inops et pauper sum ego.

2Custodi animam meam, quoniam sanctus sum; salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperantem in te.

3Miserere mei, Domine, quoniam ad te clamavi tota die;

4lætifica animam servi tui, quoniam ad te, Domine, animam meam levavi.

5Quoniam tu, Domine, suavis et mitis, et multæ misericordiæ omnibus invocantibus te.

6Auribus percipe, Domine, orationem meam, et intende voci deprecationis meæ.

7In die tribulationis meæ clamavi ad te, quia exaudisti me.

8Non est similis tui in diis, Domine, et non est secundum opera tua.

9Omnes gentes quascumque fecisti venient, et adorabunt coram te, Domine, et glorificabunt nomen tuum.

10Quoniam magnus es tu, et faciens mirabilia; tu es Deus solus.

11Deduc me, Domine, in via tua, et ingrediar in veritate tua; lætetur cor meum, ut timeat nomen tuum.

12Confitebor tibi, Domine Deus meus, in toto corde meo, et glorificabo nomen tuum in æternum:

13quia misericordia tua magna est super me, et eruisti animam meam ex inferno inferiori.

14Deus, iniqui insurrexerunt super me, et synagoga potentium quæsierunt animam meam: et non proposuerunt te in conspectu suo.

15Et tu, Domine Deus, miserator et misericors; patiens, et multæ misericordiæ, et verax.

16Respice in me, et miserere mei; da imperium tuum puero tuo, et salvum fac filium ancillæ tuæ.

17Fac mecum signum in bonum, ut videant qui oderunt me, et confundantur: quoniam tu, Domine, adjuvisti me, et consolatus es me.]

1A Prayer of David himself. Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear me. For I am needy and poor.

2Preserve my soul, for I am holy. My God, bring salvation to your servant who hopes in you.

3O Lord, be merciful to me, for I have cried out to you all day long.

4Give joy to the soul of your servant, for I have lifted up my soul to you, Lord.

5For you are sweet and mild, Lord, and plentiful in mercy to all who call upon you.

6Pay attention, Lord, to my prayer, and attend to the voice of my supplication.

7In the day of my tribulation, I cried out to you, because you heeded me.

8There is no one like you among the gods, O Lord, and there is no one like you in your works.

9All the nations, which you have made, will draw near and adore in your presence, O Lord. And they will glorify your name.

10For you are great, and you perform wonders. You alone are God.

11Lead me, O Lord, in your way, and I will walk in your truth. May my heart rejoice, so that it will fear your name.

12I will confess to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart. And I will glorify your name in eternity.

13For your mercy toward me is great, and you have rescued my soul from the lower part of Hell.

14O God, the iniquitous have risen up against me, and the synagogue of the powerful have sought my soul, and they have not placed you in their sight.

15And you, Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, being patient and full of mercy and truthful.

16Look down upon me and have mercy on me. Grant your authority to your servant, and bring salvation to the son of your handmaid.

17Make me a sign of what is good, so that those who hate me, may look and be confounded. For you, O Lord, have helped me and consoled me.
