86 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, long suffering,
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.
