1 A prayer for David himself. Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.
86:1 Oración de David. INCLINA, oh Jehová, tu oído, y óyeme; porque estoy afligido y menesteroso.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.
86:2 Guarda mi alma, porque soy pío: salva tú, oh Dios mío, á tu siervo que en ti, confía.
3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day.
86:3 Ten misericordia de mí, oh Jehová: porque á ti clamo todo el día.
4 Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
86:4 Alegra el alma de tu siervo: porque á ti, oh Señor, levanto mi alma.
5 For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.
86:5 Porque tú, Señor, eres bueno y perdonador, y grande en misericordia para con todos los que te invocan.
6 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.
86:6 Escucha, oh Jehová, mi oración, y está atento á la voz de mis ruegos.
7 I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me.
86:7 En el día de mi angustia te llamaré: porque tú me respondes.
8 There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works.
86:8 Oh Señor, ninguno hay como tú entre los dioses, [ni obras] que igualen tus obras.
9 All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.
86:9 Todas las gentes que hiciste vendrán y se humillarán delante de ti, Señor; y glorificarán tu nombre.
10 For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.
86:10 Porque tú eres grande, y hacedor de maravillas: tú solo eres Dios.
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.
86:11 Enséñame, oh Jehová, tu camino; caminaré yo en tu verdad: consolida mi corazón para que tema tu nombre.
12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:
86:12 Te alabaré, oh Jehová Dios mío, con todo mi corazón; y glorificaré tu nombre para siempre.
13 For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell.
86:13 Porque tu misericordia es grande para conmigo; y has librado mi alma del hoyo profundo.
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.
86:14 Oh Dios, soberbios se levantaron contra mí, y conspiración de fuertes ha buscado mi alma, y no te pusieron delante de sí.
15 And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true.
86:15 Mas tú, Señor, Dios misericordioso y clemente, lento para la ira, y grande en misericordia y verdad;
16 O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
86:16 Mírame, y ten misericordia de mí: da tu fortaleza á tu siervo, y guarda al hijo de tu sierva.
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.
86:17 Haz conmigo señal para bien, y véanla los que me aborrecen, y sean avergonzados; porque tú, Jehová, me ayudaste, y me consolaste.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 86.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm LXXXV)

    Its title is, "A Psalm for the end, to the sons of Core." Let us understand no other end than that of which the Apostle speaks: for, "Christ is the end of the law." Therefore when at the head of the title of the Psalm he placed the words, "for the end," he directed our heart to Christ.

  3. Quotes verse 86:8 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XXXVII)

    … so too, the Old Testament uses in the same way to correct the souls of the erring, by putting together in a way of comparison things that cannot be compared; as when it saith, "Among the gods there is none like unto Thee, O Lord:" and again, "There is no god like our God." Now some affirm, that Christ said …

  4. Quotes verse 86:4 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon II)

    … I may say of it, think ye that in this "body which presseth down the soul," I shall be able to say (in order that I may speak to you something worthy of the subject), "O Lord, I have lifted up my soul unto Thee." May He assist me, may He lift it up with me.
