Psalm 86
A Prayer for God's
Continued Mercy |
|
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:
|
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. Rev.
15.4 |
|
|
10 |
For thou art great, and doest
wondrous things:
|
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 |
Show me a token for good;
|
that they which hate me may see it, and be
ashamed: |
because thou, LORD, hast helped
me, and comforted
me. |
