Psalms 86

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.	1 [Prayer Of David] Listen to me, Yahweh, answer me, for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.	2 Guard me, for I am faithful, save your servant who relies on you. You are my God,
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.	3 take pity on me, Lord, for to you I cry al the day.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.	4 Fil your servant's heart with joy, Lord, for to you I raise up my heart.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.	5 Lord, you are kind and forgiving, rich in faithful love for al who cal upon you.
6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.	6 Yahweh, hear my prayer, listen to the sound of my pleading.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.	7 In my day of distress I cal upon you, because you answer me, Lord;
8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.	8 among the gods there is none to compare with you, no great deeds to compare with yours.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.	9 Al nations wil come and adore you, Lord, and give glory to your name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.	10 For you are great and do marvel ous deeds, you, God, and none other.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.	11 Teach me, Yahweh, your ways, that I may not stray from your loyalty; let my heart's one aim be tofear your name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.	12 I thank you with al my heart, Lord my God, I wil glorify your name for ever,
13 For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.	13 for your faithful love for me is so great that you have rescued me from the depths of Sheol.
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.	14 Arrogant men, God, are rising up against me, a brutal gang is after my life, in their scheme of thingsyou have no place.
15 But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.	15 But you, Lord, God of tenderness and mercy, slow to anger, rich in faithful love and loyalty,
16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.	16 turn to me and pity me. Give to your servant your strength, to the child of your servant your savinghelp,
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.	17 give me a sign of your kindness.
	18 My enemies wil see to their shame that you, Yahweh, help and console me.
