Psalms Psalm 86

1Incline thine ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am poor and needy.

2Preserve thou my soul, for I am merciful: my God, save thou thy servant, that trusteth in thee.

3Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry upon thee continually.

4Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

5For thou, Lord, art good and merciful, and of great kindness unto all them that call upon thee.

6Give ear, Lord, unto my prayer, and hearken to the voice of my supplication.

7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou hearest me.

8Among the gods there is none like thee, O Lord, and there is none that can do like 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, and I will walk in thy truth: knit mine heart unto thee, that I may fear thy Name.

12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all mine heart: yea, I will glorify thy Name forever.

13For great is thy mercy toward me, and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest grave.

14O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought my soul, and have not set thee before them.

15But thou, O Lord, art a pitiful God and merciful, slow to anger, and great in kindness and truth.

16Turn unto me, and have mercy upon me: give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

17Show a token of thy goodness toward me, that they which hate me, may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, O Lord, hast helped me and comforted me.
