86 (Ein Gebet Davids.) HERR, neige deine Ohren und erhöre mich; denn ich bin elend und arm.

Bewahre meine Seele; denn ich bin heilig. Hilf du, mein Gott, deinem Knechte, der sich verläßt auf dich.

HERR, sei mir gnädig; denn ich rufe täglich zu dir!

Erfreue die Seele deines Knechtes; denn nach dir, HERR, verlangt mich.

Denn du, HERR, bist gut und gnädig, von großer Güte allen, die dich anrufen.

Vernimm, HERR, mein Gebet und merke auf die Stimme meines Flehens.

In der Not rufe ich dich an; du wollest mich erhören.

HERR, dir ist keiner gleich unter den Göttern, und ist niemand, der tun kann wie du.

Alle Heiden die du gemacht hast, werden kommen und vor dir anbeten, HERR, und deinen Namen ehren,

10 daß du so groß bist und Wunder tust und allein Gott bist.

11 Weise mir, HERR, deinen Weg, daß ich wandle in deiner Wahrheit; erhalte mein Herz bei dem einen, daß ich deinen Namen fürchte.

12 Ich danke dir, HERR, mein Gott, von ganzem Herzen und ehre deinen Namen ewiglich.

13 Denn deine Güte ist groß über mich; du hast meine Seele errettet aus der tiefen Hölle.

14 Gott, es setzen sich die Stolzen wider mich, und der Haufe der Gewalttätigen steht mir nach meiner Seele, und haben dich nicht vor Augen.

15 Du aber, HERR, Gott, bist barmherzig und gnädig, geduldig und von großer Güte und Treue.

16 Wende dich zu mir, sei mir gnädig; stärke deinen Knecht mit deiner Kraft und hilf dem Sohn deiner Magd!

17 Tu ein Zeichen an mir, daß mir's wohl gehe, daß es sehen, die mich hassen, und sich schämen müssen, daß du mir beistehst, HERR, und tröstest mich.

To You, O Lord, I Lift Up My Soul

A Prayer of David.

86 (A)Incline Your ear, O Yahweh, and answer me;
For I am (B)afflicted and needy.
(C)Keep my [a]soul, for I am a (D)holy one;
O You my God, save Your slave who (E)trusts in You.
Be (F)gracious to me, O Lord,
For (G)to You I call all day long.
Make glad the soul of Your slave,
For to You, O Lord, (H)I lift up my soul.
For You, Lord, are (I)good, and (J)by nature forgiving,
And (K)abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.
(L)Give ear, O Yahweh, to my prayer;
And give heed to the voice of my supplications!
In (M)the day of my distress I shall call upon You,
For (N)You will answer me.
There is (O)no one like You among the gods, O Lord,
Nor are there any works (P)like Yours.
(Q)All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord,
And they shall glorify Your name.
10 For You are (R)great and (S)do [b]wondrous deeds;
You alone (T)are God.

11 (U)Teach me Your way, O Yahweh;
I will walk in Your truth;
(V)Unite my heart to fear Your name.
12 I will (W)give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
And will glorify Your name forever.
13 For Your lovingkindness toward me is great,
And You have (X)delivered my soul from Sheol below.

14 O God, arrogant men have (Y)risen up against me,
And [c]a band of ruthless men have sought my [d]life,
And they have not set You before them.
15 But You, O Lord, are a God (Z)compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and [e]truth.
16 (AA)Turn to me, and be gracious to me;
Oh (AB)grant Your strength to Your slave,
And save the (AC)son of Your maidservant.
17 [f](AD)Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may (AE)see it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Yahweh, (AF)have helped me and comforted me.

Supplication for Help against Enemies

A Prayer of David.

Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
    for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for I am devoted to you;
    save your servant who trusts in you.
You are my God; be gracious to me, O Lord,
    for to you do I cry all day long.
Gladden the soul of your servant,
    for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving,
    abounding in steadfast love to all who call on you.
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
    listen to my cry of supplication.
In the day of my trouble I call on you,
    for you will answer me.

There is none like you among the gods, O Lord,
    nor are there any works like yours.
All the nations you have made shall come
    and bow down before you, O Lord,
    and shall glorify your name.
10 For you are great and do wondrous things;
    you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, O Lord,
    that I may walk in your truth;
    give me an undivided heart to revere your name.
12 I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
    and I will glorify your name for ever.
13 For great is your steadfast love towards me;
    you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

14 O God, the insolent rise up against me;
    a band of ruffians seeks my life,
    and they do not set you before them.
15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
16 Turn to me and be gracious to me;
    give your strength to your servant;
    save the child of your serving-maid.
17 Show me a sign of your favour,
    so that those who hate me may see it and be put to shame,
    because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
