A Prayer of David. 86:1 O Yehovah, incline 
    thine ear, and hearken to me; for I am poor and needy. 
     
    86:2 Preserve my soul, for I am holy; save thy servant, O Elohim, who hopes in 
    thee. 
     
    86:3 Pity me, O Yehovah: for to thee will I cry all the day. 
     
    86:4 Rejoice the sold of thy servant: for to thee, O Yehovah, have I lifted up 
    my soul. 
     
    86:5 For thou, O Yehovah, art kind, and gentle; and plenteous in mercy to all 
    that call upon thee. 
     
    86:6 Give ear to my prayer, o Yehovah; and attend to the voice of my 
    supplication. 
     
    86:7 In the day of my trouble I cried to thee: for thou didst hear me. 
     
    86:8 There is none like to thee, O Yehovah, among the god; and there are no 
    [works] like to thy works. 
     
    86:9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come, and shall worship before 
    thee, O Yehovah; and shall glorify thy name.

    great Elohim. 
     
    86:11 Guide me, O Yehovah, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my 
    heart rejoice, that I may fear thy name. 
     
    86:12 I will give thee thanks, O Yehovah my Elohim, with all my heart; and I will 
    glorify thy name for ever. 
     
    86:13 For thy mercy is great toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from 
    the lowest hell. 
     
    86:14 O Elohim, transgressors have risen up against me, and an assembly of 
    violent [men] have sought my life; and have not set thee before them. 
     
    86:15 But thou, O Yehovah Elohim, art compassionate and merciful, long-suffering, 
    and abundant in mercy and true. 
     
    86:16 Look thou upon me, and have mercy upon me: give thy strength to thy 
    servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. 
     
    86:17 Establish with me a token for good; and let them that hate me see [it] 
    and be ashamed; because thou, O Yehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.  |
