Psalmen 86
Het Boek
86 Een gebed van David.
Buig U tot mij over, Here,
en geef mij antwoord.
Ik ben in grote moeilijkheden
en zeer te beklagen.
2 Bescherm mij,
ik heb immers diep ontzag voor U?
U bent mijn God.
Bevrijd uw dienaar
die zijn vertrouwen op U stelt.
3 Mijn God, geef mij uw genade.
De hele dag door roep ik naar U.
4 Geef mij uw vreugde, mijn God,
ik richt mij helemaal op U.
5 Here, U bent zo goed
en vergeeft graag.
Ieder die U aanroept,
mag zich koesteren in uw goedheid en liefde.
6 Here, luister toch naar mijn gebed,
neem mijn smeken ter harte.
7 In tijden van grote moeite en zorgen
roep ik naar U,
omdat U mij altijd antwoord geeft.
8 Geen van de afgoden
kan zich met U meten, Here.
Niemand kan uw werk evenaren.
9 Eenmaal zullen alle volken,
die allemaal door U zijn gemaakt,
naar U toekomen
en voor U neerknielen, Here.
Dan zullen zij allemaal
uw naam eren.
10 Want U bent een grote God
en U doet wonderen.
Alleen U, mijn God, kunt dat doen.
11 Here, leer mij hoe ik uw wil kan doen,
zodat ik oprecht zal leven.
Geef dat ik niet innerlijk verdeeld zal zijn,
maar alleen U zal dienen.
12 Here, mijn God,
ik wil U met mijn hele hart prijzen
en altijd alleen uw naam de eer geven.
13 U bewijst mij zoveel goedheid en liefde,
U hebt mij gered van de godverlatenheid.
14 Help mij, God,
want mijn tegenstanders keren zich tegen mij.
Misdadigers willen mij doden.
Aan U denken zij niet.
15 Here, U bent een God die genade geeft
en vol medelijden en liefde naar mij omziet.
Ook bent U heel geduldig
en toont mij uw liefde, goedheid en trouw.
16 Kom naar mij toe en geef mij uw genade.
Geef uw dienaar kracht
en bevrijd de zoon van uw dienares.
17 Laten mijn vijanden zien dat U mij helpt en redt.
Dan zullen zij zich schamen
omdat U, Here, mij hebt geholpen en getroost.
Psalm 86
King James Version
86 Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear 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.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9 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.

3 (F)Be gracious to me, O Lord,
for to you do I cry all the day.
4 Gladden the soul of your servant,
