Psalms 86
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1A Prayer of David. Incline Thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.
1For the sons of Core, a psalm of a canticle. The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains:
2Keep my soul, for I am godly; O Thou my God, save Thy servant that trusteth in Thee.
2The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
3Be gracious unto me, O Lord; for unto Thee do I cry all the day.
3Glorious things are said of thee, O city of God.
4Rejoice the soul of Thy servant; for unto Thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
4I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon knowing me. Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, these were there.
5For Thou, Lord, art good, and ready to pardon, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Thee.
5Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? and the Highest himself hath founded her.
6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend unto the voice of my supplications.
6The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, of them that have been in her.
7In the day of my trouble I call upon Thee; for Thou wilt answer me.
7The dwelling in thee is as it were of all rejoicing.
8There is none like unto Thee among the gods, O Lord, and there are no works like Thine.
