| Chapter 86 |
1 |
Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, For I am poor and needy. --
|
2 |
Preserve my soul, for I am godly. You, my God, save your servant who trusts in you. --
|
3 |
Be merciful to me, Lord, For I call to you all day long. --
|
4 |
Bring joy to the soul of your servant, For to you, Lord, do I lift up my soul. --
|
5 |
For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive; Abundant in lovingkindness to all those who call on you. --
|
6 |
Hear, Yahweh, my prayer. Listen to the voice of my petitions. --
|
7 |
In the day of my trouble I will call on you, For you will answer me. --
|
8 |
There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, Nor any deeds like your deeds. --
|
9 |
All nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord. They shall glorify your name. --
|
10 |
For you are great, and do wondrous things. You are God alone. --
|
11 |
Teach me your way, Yahweh. I will walk in your truth. Make my heart undivided to fear your name. --
|
12 |
I will praise you, Lord my God, with my whole heart. I will glorify your name forevermore. --
|
13 |
For your lovingkindness is great toward me. You have delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol. --
|
14 |
God, the proud have risen up against me. A company of violent men have sought after my soul, And they don't hold regard for you before them. --
|
15 |
But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. --
|
16 |
Turn to me, and have mercy on me! Give your strength to your servant. Save the son of your handmaid. --
|
17 |
Show me a sign of your goodness, That those who hate me may see it, and be put to shame, Because you, Yahweh, have helped me, and comforted me. Psalm 87 A Psalm by the sons of Korah; a Song. --
