Psalm 86, a prayer of David.
Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me, for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my soul, for I am holy.
O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Be merciful unto me, O Lord, for I cry unto thee daily.
Rejoice the soul of thy servant, for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my
soul.
For thou, Lord, art good and ready to forgive, and plenty is in mercy unto all
them that call upon thee.
Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer, and attend to the voice of my
supplications.
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee, for thou wilt answer me.
Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord, neither are there any works
like unto thy works.
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord,
and shall glorify thy name.
For thou art great and doest wondrous things.
Thou art God alone.
Teach me thy way, O Lord.
I will walk in thy truth.
Unite my heart to fear thy name.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify thy
name forevermore.
For great is thy mercy toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the
lowest hell.
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.
But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, longsuffering,
and plenty is in mercy and truth.
O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me.
Give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
Show me a token for good, that they which hate me may see it and be ashamed,
because thou, Lord, hast opened me and comforted me.
