Psalms 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.
