PS-86:1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me:

for I [am]

poor and needy.

PS-86:2 Preserve my soul; for I [am] holy: O thou my God, save

thy servant

that trusteth in thee.

PS-86:3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.

PS-86:4 Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord,

do I lift up

my soul.

PS-86:5 For thou, Lord, [art] good, and ready to forgive; and

plenteous in

mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

PS-86:6 Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the

voice of my

supplications.

PS-86:7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou

wilt answer

me.

PS-86:8 Among the gods [there is] none like unto thee, O Lord;

neither [are

there any works] like unto thy works.

PS-86:9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship

before thee, O

Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

PS-86:10 For thou [art] great, and doest wondrous things: thou

[art] God

alone.

PS-86:11 Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth:

unite my heart to

fear thy name.

PS-86:12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:

and I will

glorify thy name for evermore.

PS-86:13 For great [is] thy mercy toward me: and thou hast

delivered my soul

from the lowest hell.

PS-86:14 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.

PS-86:15 But thou, O Lord, [art] a God full of compassion, and

gracious,

longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.

PS-86:16 O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy

strength unto thy

servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

PS-86:17 Show 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.
