Psalm .

86
[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 !od, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. [3] Be mer"iful unto me, O Lord: for I "ry unto thee daily. [4] Re#oi"e the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. [5] $or thou, Lord, art %ood, and ready to for%ive and plenteous in mer"y unto all them that "all upon thee. [6] !ive ear, O LORD, unto my prayer and attend to the voi"e of my suppli"ations. [7] In the day of my trou&le I will "all upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. [8] 'mon% the %ods there is none li(e unto thee, O Lord neither are there any wor(s li(e unto thy wor(s. [9] 'll nations whom thou hast made shall "ome and worship &efore thee, O Lord and shall %lorify thy name. [10] $or thou art %reat, and doest wondrous thin%s: thou art !od alone. [11] )ea"h me thy way, O LORD I will wal( in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. [12] I will praise thee, O Lord my !od, with all my heart: and I will %lorify thy name for evermore. [13] $or %reat is thy mer"y toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. [14] O !od, the proud are risen a%ainst me, and the assem&lies of violent men have sou%ht after my soul and have not set thee &efore them. [15] But thou, O Lord, art a !od full of "ompassion, and %ra"ious, lon%sufferin%, and plenteous in mer"y and truth. [16] O turn unto me, and have mer"y upon me %ive thy stren%th unto thy servant, and save the son of thine

handmaid. [17] *hew me a to(en for %ood that they whi"h hate me may see it, and &e ashamed: &e"ause thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and "omforted me.
