PSALM 86
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Prayer of David.
1O Lord, do thou bow down thine ear,
and hear me graciously;
Because I sore afflicted am,
and am in poverty.
2Because I'm holy, let my soul
by thee preserved be:
O thou my God, thy servant save,
that puts his trust in thee.
3Sith unto thee I daily cry,
be merciful to me.
4Rejoice thy servant's soul; for, Lord,
I lift my soul to thee.
5For thou art gracious, O Lord,
and ready to forgive;
And rich in mercy, all that call
upon thee to relieve.
6Hear, Lord, my pray'r; unto the voice
of my request attend:
7In troublous times I'll call on thee;
for thou wilt answer send.
8Lord, there is none among the gods
that may with thee compare;
And like the works which thou hast done,
not any work is there.
9All nations whom thou mad'st shall come
and worship rev'rently
Before thy face; and they, O Lord,
thy name shall glorify.
10Because thou art exceeding great,
and works by thee are done
Which are to be admir'd; and thou
art God thyself alone.
11Teach me thy way, and in thy truth,
O Lord, then walk will I;
Unite my heart, that I thy name
may fear continually.
12O Lord my God, with all my heart
to thee I will give praise;
And I the glory will ascribe
unto thy name always:
13Because thy mercy toward me
in greatness doth excel;
And thou deliver'd hast my soul
out from the lowest hell.
14O God, the proud against me rise,
and vi'lent men have met,
That for my soul have sought; and thee
before them have not set.
15But thou art full of pity, Lord,
a God most gracious,
Long-suffering, and in thy truth
and mercy plenteous.
16O turn to me thy countenance,
and mercy on me have;
Thy servant strengthen, and the son
of thine own handmaid save.
17Shew me a sign for good, that they
which do me hate may see,
And be asham'd; because thou, Lord,
didst help and comfort me.

PSALM 86
A Psalm of Supplication and Trust.
A Prayer of David.
1Incline Your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
For I am distressed and needy [I long for Your help].
2Protect my life (soul), for I am godly and faithful;
O You my God, save Your servant, who trusts in You [believing in You and relying on You, confidently committing everything to You].
3Be gracious and merciful to me, O Lord,
For to You I cry out all the day long.
4Make Your servant rejoice,
For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul [all that I am—in prayer].
5For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our sins, sending them away, completely letting them go forever and ever];
And abundant in lovingkindness and overflowing in mercy to all those who call upon You.
6Hear, O Lord, my prayer;
And listen attentively to the voice of my supplications (specific requests)!
7In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For You will answer me.
8There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord,
Nor are there any works [of wonder and majesty] like Yours.
9All nations whom You have made shall come and kneel down in worship before You, O Lord,
And they shall glorify Your name.
10For You are great and do wondrous works!
You alone are God.
11Teach me Your way, O Lord,
I will walk and live in Your truth;
Direct my heart to fear Your name [with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder].
12I will give thanks and praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart;
And will glorify Your name forevermore.
13For great is Your lovingkindness and graciousness toward me;
And You have rescued my life from the depths of Sheol [from death].
14O God, arrogant and insolent men have risen up against me;
A band of violent men have sought my life,
And they have not set You before them.
15But You, O Lord, are a God [who protects and is] merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness and truth.
16Turn to me, and be gracious to me;
Grant Your strength [Your might and the power to resist temptation] to Your servant,
And save the son of Your handmaid.
17Show me a sign of [Your] goodwill,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Lord, helped and comforted me.
