Psalm LXXXVI.
1
Hear me, O God, for I am poor;
Preserve thy holy one:
And save thy servant, O my God,
Who trusts in thee alone.
2
To thee, O Lord, I daily cry;
Be merciful to me:
And cause thy servant to rejoice,
Who lifts his soul to thee.
3
For thou art ready to forgive,
And bountiful to all:
In mercy rich to every one
That doth for mercy call.
4
Now hear my supplications, Lord,
That I present to thee:
In trouble I will call on thee,
For thou wilt answer me.
5
For there is none among the Gods,
That may with thee compare.
Nor any works in all the world,
That like thy wonders are.
6
To thee by all that dwell on earth,
All worship shall be done:
For thou art great and dost great things,
And thou art God alone.
7
Teach me thy way, and I will walk
Forever in the same:
O let my heart united be
To fear thy holy name.
8
Thee will I praise with all my heart,
O Lord, for evermore:
For in great mercy from the grave,
Thou didst my life restore.
9
O God the proud against me come,
And violent men arise;
That seek my life, and have not set
The Lord before their eyes.
10
But thou art still a gracious God,
Thy mercies have no end:
O turn to me in mercy then;
Thy servant, Lord defend.
11
Shew me a token now for good,
That all my foes may see,
And be asham'd because the Lord
Doth help and comfort me.
