PSALM 86
A Prayer of David.
1 Bow down
thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. 2
Preserve my soul; for I am holya: O thou my God, save
thy servant that trusteth in thee. 3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord:
for I cry unto thee dailyb. 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.
8Among 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 hellc. 14 O God, the proud are risen against
me, and the assemblies of violentd 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, longsuffering, 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.
