A Prayer of David. Bow down thine ear, O Lord, hear me: for I am poor and needy (86:1)

Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee (86:2)

Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily (86:3)

Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul (86:4)

For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee (86:5)

Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications (86:6)

In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me (86:7)

Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works (86:8)

All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name (86:9)

For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone (86:10)

Teach me thy way, O Lord; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name (86:11)

I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore (86:12)

For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell (86:13)

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 (86:14)

But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth (86:15)

O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid (86:16)

Show 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 (86:17)
