| 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.
