Psalms 85

The Book of Psalms

86

1

Bow down thine ear, O YAHUVEH, and answer me; For I am poor and needy.

2

Preserve my soul; for I am righteous: O thou my YAHUVEH, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

3

Be merciful unto me, O Master; For unto thee do I cry all the day long.

4

Rejoice the soul of thy servant; For unto thee, O Master, do I lift up my soul.

5

For thou, Master, art good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.

6

Give ear, O YAHUVEH, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.

7

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; For thou wilt answer me.

8

There is none like unto thee among the deities, O Master; Neither are there any works like unto thy works.

9

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Master; And they shall glorify thy name.

10

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

11

Teach me thy way, O YAHUVEH; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name.

12

I will praise thee, O Master my YAHUVEH, with my whole heart; And I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13

For great is thy lovingkindness toward me; And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.

14

O YAHUVEH, the proud are risen up against me, And a company of violent men have sought after my soul, And have not set thee before them.

15

But thou, O Master, art a YAHUVEH merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

16

Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; Give thy strength unto thy servant, And save the son of thy handmaid.

17

Show me a token for good, That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because thou, YAHUVEH, hast helped me, and comforted me.
