“1 ¶ <<A Prayer of David.>> 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: for
thou wilt answer me.”
“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.
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 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,
longsuffering, 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 Shew 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.” (Psalms 86:1-17 AV)
