PSALM 86
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Prayer of David.
1O Lord, do thou bow down thine ear,
and hear me graciously;
Because I sore afflicted am,
and am in poverty.
2Because I'm holy, let my soul
by thee preserved be:
O thou my God, thy servant save,
that puts his trust in thee.
3Sith unto thee I daily cry,
be merciful to me.
4Rejoice thy servant's soul; for, Lord,
I lift my soul to thee.
5For thou art gracious, O Lord,
and ready to forgive;
And rich in mercy, all that call
upon thee to relieve.
6Hear, Lord, my pray'r; unto the voice
of my request attend:
7In troublous times I'll call on thee;
for thou wilt answer send.
8Lord, there is none among the gods
that may with thee compare;
And like the works which thou hast done,
not any work is there.
9All nations whom thou mad'st shall come
and worship rev'rently
Before thy face; and they, O Lord,
thy name shall glorify.
10Because thou art exceeding great,
and works by thee are done
Which are to be admir'd; and thou
art God thyself alone.
11Teach me thy way, and in thy truth,
O Lord, then walk will I;
Unite my heart, that I thy name
may fear continually.
12O Lord my God, with all my heart
to thee I will give praise;
And I the glory will ascribe
unto thy name always:
13Because thy mercy toward me
in greatness doth excel;
And thou deliver'd hast my soul
out from the lowest hell.
14O God, the proud against me rise,
and vi'lent men have met,
That for my soul have sought; and thee
before them have not set.
15But thou art full of pity, Lord,
a God most gracious,
Long-suffering, and in thy truth
and mercy plenteous.
16O turn to me thy countenance,
and mercy on me have;
Thy servant strengthen, and the son
of thine own handmaid save.
17Shew me a sign for good, that they
which do me hate may see,
And be asham'd; because thou, Lord,
didst help and comfort me.

Psalms 86
86
1A prayer of David. Incline thine eare, O Lord, and heare me: for I am poore and needy. 2Preserue thou my soule, for I am mercifull: my God, saue thou thy seruant, that trusteth in thee. 3Be mercifull vnto me, O Lord: for I crie vpon thee continually. 4Reioyce the soule of thy seruant: for vnto thee, O Lord, doe I lift vp my soule. 5For thou, Lord, art good and mercifull, and of great kindenes vnto all them, that call vpon thee. 6Giue eare, Lord, vnto my prayer, and hearken to the voyce of my supplication. 7In the day of my trouble I will call vpon thee: for thou hearest me. 8Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can doe like thy workes. 9All nations, whome thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glorifie thy Name. 10For thou art great and doest wonderous things: thou art God alone. 11Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walke in thy trueth: knit mine heart vnto thee, that I may feare thy Name. 12I wil prayse thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I wil glorifie thy Name for euer. 13For great is thy mercie toward me, and thou hast deliuered my soule from the lowest graue. 14O God, the proude are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men haue sought my soule, and haue not set thee before them. 15But thou, O Lord, art a pitifull God and mercifull, slowe to anger and great in kindenes and trueth. 16Turne vnto me, and haue mercy vpon me: giue thy strength vnto thy seruant, and saue the sonne of thine handmayd. 17Shew a token of thy goodnes towarde me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast holpen me and comforted me.
