Psalm 86

86:1 A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I [am] poor and needy. 86:2 Keep my soul, for I [am] pious, Save Thy servant--who is trusting to Thee, O Thou, my God. 86:3 Favour me, O Lord, for to Thee I call all the day. 86:4 Rejoice the soul of Thy servant, For unto Thee, O Lord, my soul I lift up. 86:5 For Thou, Lord, [art] good and forgiving. And abundant in kindness to all calling Thee. 86:6 Hear, O Jehovah, my prayer, And attend to the voice of my supplications. 86:7 In a day of my distress I call Thee, For Thou dost answer me.  86:8 There is none like Thee among the gods, O Lord, And like Thy works there are none. 86:9 All nations that Thou hast made Come and bow themselves before Thee, O Lord, And give honour to Thy name. 86:10 For great [art] Thou, and doing wonders, Thou [art] God Thyself alone. 86:11 Show me, O Jehovah, Thy way, I walk in Thy truth, My heart doth rejoice to fear Thy name. 86:12 I confess Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, And I honour Thy name to the age. 86:13 For Thy kindness [is] great toward me, And Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. 86:14 O God, the proud have risen up against me, And a company of the terrible sought my soul, And have not placed Thee before them, 86:15 And Thou, O Lord, [art] God, merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in kindness and truth. 86:16 Look unto me, and favour me, Give Thy strength to Thy servant, And give salvation to a son of Thine handmaid. 86:17 Do 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!
