Psalm 86

1. 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. Make the soul of Thy servant rejoice, 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 alone art God.

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 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, 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. Show me a token for good, that they that hate me may see it and be ashamed, because Thou, Lord, hast helped me and comforted me.
