Psalms 86

DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 A prayer for David himself. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.	1 A Canticle Psalm to the sons of Korah. Its foundations are in the holy mountains:
2 Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.	2 the Lord loves the gates of Zion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day.	3 Glorious things are being said of you, O City of God.
4 Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.	4 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold, the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians: these have been there.
5 For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.	5 Will not Zion say that this man and that man were born in her? And the Most High himself has founded her.
6 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.	6 The Lord will explain, in the writings of peoples and of leaders, about those who have been in her.
7 I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me.	7 For so the dwelling place within you is with all rejoicing.
8 There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works.
9 All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.
10 For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.
11 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:
13 For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell.
14 O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set thee before their eyes.
15 And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true.
16 O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
17 Shew me a token for good: that they who hate me may see, and be confounded, because thou, O Lord, hast helped me and hast comforted me.
