KJ3 Literal Translation
Psalms 86
David strengthens his prayer by the conscience of his religion, of his distress, and of God's goodness. A Prayer of David.
1A Prayer of David. O Jehovah, stretch out Your ear, answer me, for I am an afflicted and needy one.
2Guard my soul, for I am Your godly one; O You, my God, save Your servant who trusts in You.
3Be gracious to Me, O Lord, for I cry to You all the day.
4Give joy to the soul of Your servant; for to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
5For You, O Lord, are good and ready to forgive, and rich in mercy to all who call on You.
6O Jehovah, give ear to my prayer; attend to my voice of supplications.
7I will call on You in the day of my trouble, for You will answer me.
8None among the gods is like You, O Lord, and none are like Your works.
9All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You; yea, Lord, they shall glorify Your name.
10For You are great and do wonderful things; You alone are God.
11Teach me Your way, O Jehovah; I will walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear Your name.
12With all my heart I will thank You, O Lord my God; and I will glorify Your name forever.
13For Your mercy toward me is great; and You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
14O God, the proud ones have risen against me; and the assembly of the terrifying ones have sought after my life, and have not set You before their eyes.
15But You, O God, are God, full of pity; and gracious, long before anger and rich in mercy and truth.
16O turn to me and be gracious to me; give Your strength to Your servant, and save the son of Your handmaid.
17Make a sign with me for good, and those hating me shall see and be ashamed, O Jehovah, because You have helped me and comforted me.
