Tehillim (Psalms) 86

¹Incline Your ear, O יהוה, Answer me, for I am poor and needy.

²Guard my being, for I am lovingly-committed; You are my Elohim; Save Your servant who is trusting in You!

³Show favour to me, O יהוה, For I cry to You all day long.

⁴Bring joy to the being of Your servant, For to You, O יהוה, I lift up my being.

⁵For You, יהוה, are good, and ready to forgive, And great in loving-commitment to all those who call upon You.

⁶Give ear, O יהוה, to my prayer; And listen to the voice of my pleadings.

⁷In the day of my distress I call upon You, For You answer me.

⁸There is none like You among the mighty ones, O יהוה; And like Your works there are none.

⁹Let all nations You have made Come and bow themselves before You, O יהוה, And give esteem to Your Name.

¹⁰For You are great, and are doing wonders; You are Elohim, You alone.

¹¹Teach me Your way, O יהוה; Let me walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear Your Name.

¹²I praise You, O יהוה my Elohim, with all my heart, And I esteem Your Name forever.

¹³For Your loving-commitment is great toward me, And You have delivered my being From the depths of She’ol.

¹⁴O Elohim, the proud have risen against me, And a band of dreaded men have sought my life, And have not set You before them.

¹⁵But You, O יהוה, Are a compassionate Ěl and showing favour, Patient and great in loving-commitment and truth.

¹⁶Turn to me, and show favour to me! Give Your strength to Your servant, And save the son of Your female servant.

¹⁷Show me a sign for good, And let those hating me see it and be ashamed, For You, יהוה, have helped me and comforted me.
