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.

Psalms 86
86
A Prayer by David.
1Hear, Yahweh, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2Preserve my soul, for I am godly.
You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you.
3Be merciful to me, Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
4Bring joy to the soul of your servant,
for to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
6Hear, Yahweh, my prayer.
Listen to the voice of my petitions.
7In the day of my trouble I will call on you,
for you will answer me.
8There is no one like you among the gods, Lord,
nor any deeds like your deeds.
9All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord.
They shall glorify your name.
10For you are great, and do wondrous things.
You are God alone.
11Teach me your way, Yahweh.
I will walk in your truth.
Make my heart undivided to fear your name.
12I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart.
I will glorify your name forever more.
13For your loving kindness is great toward me.
You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.#86:13 Sheol is the place of the dead.
14God, the proud have risen up against me.
A company of violent men have sought after my soul,
and they don’t hold regard for you before them.
15But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God,
slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.
16Turn to me, and have mercy on me!
Give your strength to your servant.
Save the son of your servant.
17Show me a sign of your goodness,
that those who hate me may see it, and be shamed,
because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me.
