Psalm 86 - Webster's Bible

1410-450 BC 191 years ago Bible

1 A Prayer of David. Bow down thy 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 to me, O Lord: for I cry to thee daily.

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

5 For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and abundant in mercy to all them that call upon thee.

6 Give ear, O LORD, to 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 thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like 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 towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.

14 O God, the proud have 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 abundant in mercy and truth.

16 O turn to me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.

17 Show me a token for good; that they who hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
