King James VersionPsalms86

Psalms

1 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.
