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 | 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. |
