大衛的祈禱。

86 耶和華啊,我窮苦無助,
求你垂聽我的禱告,應允我。
求你保護我的性命,
因為我忠於你。
你是我的上帝,我信靠你,
求你拯救僕人。
主啊,我終日向你呼求,
求你憐憫我。
主啊,我的心仰望你,
求你賜我歡樂。
主啊,你良善仁慈,樂意赦免,
以無限的慈愛待一切求告你的人。
耶和華啊,求你聽我的禱告,
垂聽我的懇求。
患難之時,我要向你呼求,
因為你必應允我。
主啊,
眾神明中沒有一位能與你相比,
你的作為無與倫比。
主啊,
你創造的萬國都要來敬拜你,
將榮耀歸給你的名。
10 因為你偉大無比,行事奇妙,
唯有你是上帝。
11 耶和華啊,求你教我行你的道,
我要行在你的真理中,
求你使我一心敬畏你。
12 主——我的上帝啊,
我要全心全意地讚美你,
我要永遠將榮耀歸給你的名。
13 因為你深愛我,
從陰間的深處拯救了我。
14 上帝啊,狂傲的人攻擊我,
一群兇殘之徒要殺害我,
他們藐視你。
15 但主啊,
你是有憐憫和恩典的上帝,
不輕易發怒,充滿慈愛,
無比信實。
16 求你垂顧我,憐憫我,
賜力量給你的僕人,
拯救你婢女的兒子。
17 求你賜下恩待我的憑據,
使那些恨我的人見狀就抱愧蒙羞,
因為你耶和華幫助我、安慰我。

Psalm 86

A Prayer of David.

Incline Your ear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and distressed, needy and desiring.

Preserve my life, for I am godly and dedicated; O my God, save Your servant, for I trust in You [leaning and believing on You, committing all and confidently looking to You, without fear or doubt].

Be merciful and gracious to me, O Lord, for to You do I cry all the day.

Make me, Your servant, to rejoice, O Lord, for to You do I lift myself up.

For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our trespasses, sending them away, letting them go completely and forever]; and You are abundant in mercy and loving-kindness to all those who call upon You.

Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer; and listen to the cry of my supplications.

In the day of my trouble I will call on You, for You will answer me.

There is none like unto You among the gods, O Lord, neither are their works like unto Yours.

All nations whom You have made shall come and fall down before You, O Lord; and they shall glorify Your name.

10 For You are great and work wonders! You alone are God.

11 Teach me Your way, O Lord, that I may walk and live in Your truth; direct and unite my heart [solely, reverently] to fear and honor Your name.(A)

12 I will confess and praise You, O Lord my God, with my whole (united) heart; and I will glorify Your name forevermore.

13 For great is Your mercy and loving-kindness toward me; and You have delivered me from the depths of Sheol [from the exceeding depths of affliction].

14 O God, the proud and insolent are risen against me; a rabble of violent and ruthless men has sought and demanded my life, and they have not set You before them.

15 But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in mercy and loving-kindness and truth.

16 O turn to me and have mercy and be gracious to me; grant strength (might and inflexibility to temptation) to Your servant and save the son of Your handmaiden.

17 Show me a sign of [Your evident] goodwill and favor, that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame, because You, Lord, [will show Your approval of me when You] help and comfort me.

Psalm 86

A prayer of David.

Hear me, Lord, and answer(A) me,
    for I am poor and needy.
Guard my life, for I am faithful to you;
    save your servant who trusts in you.(B)
You are my God; have mercy(C) on me, Lord,
    for I call(D) to you all day long.
Bring joy to your servant, Lord,
    for I put my trust(E) in you.

You, Lord, are forgiving and good,
    abounding in love(F) to all who call to you.
Hear my prayer, Lord;
    listen to my cry(G) for mercy.
When I am in distress,(H) I call(I) to you,
    because you answer(J) me.

Among the gods(K) there is none like you,(L) Lord;
    no deeds can compare with yours.
All the nations you have made
    will come(M) and worship(N) before you, Lord;
    they will bring glory(O) to your name.
10 For you are great(P) and do marvelous deeds;(Q)
    you alone(R) are God.

11 Teach me your way,(S) Lord,
    that I may rely on your faithfulness;(T)
give me an undivided(U) heart,
    that I may fear(V) your name.
12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;(W)
    I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your love toward me;
    you have delivered me(X) from the depths,
    from the realm of the dead.(Y)

14 Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God;
    ruthless people are trying to kill me—
    they have no regard for you.(Z)
15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious(AA) God,
    slow to anger,(AB) abounding(AC) in love and faithfulness.(AD)
16 Turn to me(AE) and have mercy(AF) on me;
    show your strength(AG) in behalf of your servant;
save me, because I serve you
    just as my mother did.(AH)
17 Give me a sign(AI) of your goodness,
    that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
    for you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
