| Chapter 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.
