Salmos, 86

1. Salmo dos filhos de Coré. Cântico.

1. <A Prayer of David.> Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I [am] poor and needy.

2. O Senhor ama a cidade que fundou nos montes santos; ele prefere as portas de Sião às tendas de Jacó.*

2. Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

3. De ti se anuncia um glorioso destino, ó cidade de Deus.

3. Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

4. Ajuntarei Raab e Babilônia aos que me honram; eis a Filisteia e Tiro com a Etiópia, lá todos nasceram.*

4. Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5. Será dito de Sião: “Um por um, todos esses homens nela nasceram; foi o próprio Altíssimo quem a fundou”.

5. For thou, Lord, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

6. O Senhor inscreverá então no registro dos povos: “Aquele também nasceu em Sião”.

6. Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications.

7. E cantarão entre danças: “Todas as minhas fontes se acham em ti”.*

7. In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me.

8.

8. Among the gods [there is] none like unto thee, O Lord; neither [are there any works] like unto thy works.

9.

9. All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

10.

10. For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou [art] God alone.

11.

11. Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.

12.

12. I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.

13.

13. For great [is] thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

14.

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.

15. But thou, O Lord, [art] a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

16.

16. O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

17.

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.
