Psalm 86
KJV Parallel ESV [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
King James BibleEnglish Standard Version
1A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.1Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.2Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
3Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.3Be gracious to me, O Lord, for to you do I cry all the day.
4Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.4Gladden the soul of your servant, for to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.5For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.6Give ear, O LORD, to my prayer; listen to my plea for grace.
7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.7In the day of my trouble I call upon you, for you answer me.
8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.8There is none like you among the gods, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours.
9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.9All the nations you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name.
10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.10For you are great and do wondrous things; you alone are God.
11Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.11Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.12I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify your name forever.
13For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.13For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
14O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them.14O God, insolent men have risen up against me; a band of ruthless men seeks my life, and they do not set you before them.
15But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.15But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
16O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.16Turn to me and be gracious to me; give your strength to your servant, and save the son of your maidservant.
17Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me.17Show me a sign of your favor, that those who hate me may see and be put to shame because you, LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
