Psalms 86 · תהילים

A Prayer of David. Incline Thy ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O Thou my God, save Thy servant who trusts in Thee.

Be gracious to me, O Lord: for I cry to Thee daily.

Rejoice the soul of Thy servant: for to Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and of bountiful love towards all those who call upon Thee.

Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

On the day of my trouble I will call upon Thee: for Thou wilt answer me.

Among the gods there is none like Thee, O Lord; nor are there any works like Thine.

All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O Lord; and shall glorify Thy name.

For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone.

Teach me Thy way, O Lord; I will walk in Thy truth: make my heart single to fear Thy name.

I will thank Thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify Thy name for evermore.

For great is Thy steadfast love towards me: and Thou hast delivered my soul from the depths of She᾽ol.

O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assembly of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set Thee before them.

But Thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and bountiful in love and truth.

O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give Thy strength to Thy servant, and save the son of Thy handmaid.

Show me a sign for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because Thou, Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.
