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.

Psalm 86
86
A Prayer of David.
1Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me:
For I am poor and needy.
2Preserve my soul; for I am holy:
O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
3Be merciful unto me, O Lord:
For I cry unto thee daily.
4Rejoice the soul of thy servant:
For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive;
And plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer;
And attend to the voice of my supplications.
7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee:
For thou wilt answer me.
8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord;
Neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;
And shall glorify thy name.
10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
Thou art God alone.
11Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth:
Unite my heart to fear thy name.
12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart:
And I will glorify thy name for evermore.
13For great is thy mercy toward me:
And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
14O 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.
15But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious,
Longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
16O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;
Give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
17Shew 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.
