Psalm 86
86
A Prayer of David.
1Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me:
For I am poor and needy.
2Preserve my soul; for I am holy:
O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3Be merciful unto me, O Lord:
For I cry unto thee daily.
4Rejoice the soul of thy servant:
For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive;
And plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer;
And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7In 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.
9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;
And shall glorify thy name.
10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
Thou art God alone.
11Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth:
Unite my heart to fear thy name.
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:
And I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13For great is thy mercy toward me:
And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14O 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.
15But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
Longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;
Give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17Shew 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.
