86 Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

11 Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

14 O 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.

15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, long suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

17 Shew 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.

Oración de David.

86 Atiéndeme, Señor; respóndeme,
    pues pobre soy y estoy necesitado.
Protege mi vida, pues te soy fiel.
    Tú eres mi Dios y en ti confío;
    ¡salva a tu siervo!
Ten piedad de mí, Señor,
    porque a ti clamo todo el día.
Reconforta el ánimo de tu siervo,
    porque a ti, Señor, elevo mi alma.

Tú, Señor, eres bueno y perdonador;
    tu gran amor se derrama sobre todos los que te invocan.
Escucha, Señor, a mi oración;
    atiende a mi voz de súplica.
En el día de mi angustia te invoco,
    porque tú me respondes.

No hay, Señor, entre los dioses otro como tú
    ni hay obras semejantes a las tuyas.
Todas las naciones que has hecho
    vendrán, Señor, y ante ti se postrarán
    y glorificarán tu nombre.
10 Porque tú eres grande y haces maravillas;
    ¡solo tú eres Dios!

11 Instrúyeme, Señor, en tu camino
    para conducirme con fidelidad.
Dame integridad de corazón
    para temer tu nombre.
12 Señor mi Dios, con todo el corazón te alabaré
    y por siempre glorificaré tu nombre.
13 Porque grande es tu amor por mí:
    me has rescatado de los dominios de la muerte.[a]

14 Los insolentes me atacan, oh Dios;
    una banda de gente violenta procura matarme.
    ¡Son gente que no te toma en cuenta!
15 Pero tú, Señor, eres Dios compasivo y misericordioso,
    lento para la ira y grande en amor y fidelidad.
16 Vuélvete hacia mí y tenme piedad;
    concédele tu fuerza a este siervo tuyo.
    ¡Salva al hijo de tu sierva!
17 Dame una muestra de tu amor,
    para que mis enemigos la vean y se avergüencen,
    porque tú, Señor, me has brindado ayuda y consuelo.

Prayer for Mercy, with Meditation on the Excellencies of the Lord

A Prayer of David.

86 Bow down Your ear, O Lord, hear me;
For I am poor and needy.
Preserve my [a]life, for I am holy;
You are my God;
Save Your servant who trusts in You!
Be merciful to me, O Lord,
For I cry to You all day long.
[b]Rejoice the soul of Your servant,
(A)For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
For (B)You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.

Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
And attend to the voice of my supplications.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon You,
For You will answer me.

(C)Among the gods there is none like You, O Lord;
Nor are there any works like Your works.
All nations whom You have made
Shall come and worship before You, O Lord,
And shall glorify Your name.
10 For You are great, and (D)do wondrous things;
(E)You alone are God.

11 (F)Teach me Your way, O Lord;
I will walk in Your truth;
[c]Unite my heart to fear Your name.
12 I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
And I will glorify Your name forevermore.
13 For great is Your mercy toward me,
And You have delivered my soul from the depths of [d]Sheol.

14 O God, the proud have risen against me,
And a mob of violent men have sought my life,
And have not set You before them.
15 But (G)You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious,
Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

16 Oh, turn to me, and have mercy on me!
Give Your strength to Your servant,
And save the son of Your maidservant.
17 Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
