86:001

A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O HaShem, and answer me; for I am poor and needy

86:002

Keep my soul, for I am godly; O Thou my G-d, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee

86:003

Be gracious unto me, O L-rd; for unto Thee do I cry all the day

86:004

Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; for unto Thee, O L-rd, do I lift up my soul

86:005

For Thou, L-rd, art good, and ready to pardon, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee

86:006

Give ear, O HaShem, unto my prayer; and attend unto the voice of my supplications

86:007

In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me

86:008

There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O L-rd, and there are no works like Thine

86:009

All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and prostrate themselves before Thee, O L-rd; and they shall glorify Thy name

86:010

For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things; Thou art G-d alone

86:011

Teach me, O HaShem, Thy way, that I may walk in Thy truth; make one my heart to fear Thy name

86:012

I will thank Thee, O L-rd my G-d, with my whole heart; and I will glorify Thy name for evermore

86:013

For great is Thy mercy toward me; and Thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest nether-world

86:014

O G-d, the proud are risen up against me, and the company of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set Thee before them

86:015

But Thou, O L-rd, art a G-d full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth

86:016

O turn unto me, and be gracious unto me; give Thy strength unto Thy servant, and save the son of Thy handmaid

86:017

Work in my behalf a sign for good; that they that hate me may see it, and be put to shame, because Thou, HaShem, hast helped me, and comforted me
