Psalms 86
1. <<A Prayer of David.>> Bow down * thine ear, O LORD, hear * me: for I am poor and needy.
2. Preserve * my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save * thy servant that trusteth * in thee.
3. Be merciful * unto me, O Lord: for I cry * unto thee daily.
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.
8. Among 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 hell.
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. 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.
