| Chapter 86 |
1 |
A Prayer of David. Bow down thy 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 to me, O Lord: for I cry to thee daily. |
4 |
Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for to thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. |
5 |
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee. |
6 |
Give ear, O LORD, to 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 thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like 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 towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. |
14 |
O God, the proud have 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; long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and truth. |
16 |
O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid. |
17 |
Show me a token for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me. |
