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 of David.
1I am a poor, helpless man.
Lord, please listen to me and answer my prayer!
2I am your follower, so please protect me.
I am your servant, and you are my God.
I trust in you, so save me.
3My Lord, be kind to me.
I have been praying to you all day.
4My Lord, I put my life in your hands.
I am your servant, so make me happy.
5My Lord, you are good and merciful.
You love all those who call to you for help.
6Lord, hear my prayer.
Listen to my cry for mercy.
7I am praying to you in my time of trouble.
I know you will answer me.
8My Lord, there is no God like you.
No one can do what you have done.
9My Lord, you made everyone.
I wish they all would come worship you and honor your name.
10You are great and do amazing things.
You and you alone are God.
11Lord, teach me your ways,
and I will live and obey your truths.
Help me make worshiping your name
the most important thing in my life.
12My Lord God, I praise you with all my heart.
I will honor your name forever!
13You have such great love for me.
You save me from the place of death.
14Proud people are attacking me, God.
A gang of cruel men is trying to kill me.
They don’t respect you.
15My Lord, you are a kind and merciful God.
You are patient, loyal, and full of love.
16Show that you hear me and be kind to me.
I am your servant, so give me strength.
I am your slave, as my mother was, so save me!
17Lord, show me a sign that you care for me.
My enemies will see it and be disappointed,
because you helped and comforted me.
