Psalms 86 — English–Hebrew Parallel

1 Hear, Yahawah (), and inah (answer / respond) me, for I am inay (poor) and inay (needy).

2 Shamar (keep/guard) my napash (soul), for I am chasayad (godly). You, my Alahayam (), yashai (salvation) your ibad (servant) who batach (trusts) in you.

3 Be chanan (showing favor) to me, Adanay (), for I qaraa (called) to you all yawam (day) long.

4 Bring shamach (joy) to the napash (soul) of your ibad (servant), for to you, Adanay (), do I nashaa (lift) up my napash (soul).

5 For you, Adanay (), are tawab (good / proper function), and salach (ready) to forgive; abundant in loving chasad (grace) to all those who qaraa (called) on you.

6 Azan (ear), Yahawah (), my thapalah (prayer). Listen to the qawal (sound / voice) of my petitions.

7 In the yawam (day) of my tzarah (trouble) I will qaraa (called) on you, for you will inah (answer / respond) me.

8 There is no one like you among the Alahayam (), Adanay (), nor any maishah (deeds) like your deeds.

9 All gawayam (nations) you ishah (make) made will bawaa (come) and shachah (worship) panayam (face) you, Adanay (). They shall kabad (glorify) your sham (name).

10 For you are gadawal (very great/important/mighty), and ishah (make) palaa (be wonderful / extraordinary / marvelous) things. You are Alahayam () alone.

11 Yarah (teach) me your darak (way), Yahawah (). I will halak (move) in your amath (truth). Make my labab (heart) undivided to yaraa (fear / be afraid) your sham (name).

12 I will yadah (praise) you, Adanay () my Alahayam (), with my whole labab (heart). I will kabad (glorify) your sham (name) forevermore.

13 For your loving chasad (grace) is gadawal (very great/important/mighty) toward me. You have natzal (delivered) my napash (soul) from the lowest shaawal (Sheol / afterlife).

14 Alahayam (), the zad (proud) have qawam (rise up) up against me. A idah (company) of irayatz (violent) men have baqash (sought) after my napash (soul), and they don't shawam (place / establish / appoint) regard for you before them.

15 But you, Adanay (), are a rachawam (merciful) and chanawan (gracious) Al, arak (slow) to rab (anger), and abundant in loving chasad (grace) and amath (truth).

16 Panah (turn) to me, and have chanan (showing favor) on me! Nathan (give) your iz (strength / might / refuge) to your ibad (servant). Yashai (salvation) the ban (son) of your handmaid.

17 Show me a awath (sign / mark / miracle) of your goodness, that those who shanaa (hate) me may raah (see) it, and be bawash (shamed), because you, Yahawah (), have izar (helped) me, and nacham (turn away / repent) me.
