Psalms 86:1-13

¹The prayer of David. Lord, bow down thine ear, and hear me; for I am needy and poor.

²Keep thou my life, for I am holy; my God, make thou safe thy servant hoping in thee.

³Lord, have thou mercy on me, for I cried all day to thee;

⁴make thou glad the soul of thy servant; for why, Lord, I have raised my soul to thee.

⁵For thou, Lord, art sweet and mild; and of much mercy to all men inwardly calling thee.

⁶Lord, perceive thou my prayer with ears; and give thou attention to the voice of my beseeching.

⁷In the day of my tribulation I cried to thee; for thou heardest me.

⁸Lord, none among gods is like thee; and none is even to thy works.

⁹Lord, all folks, whichever thou madest, shall come, and worship before thee; and they shall glorify thy name.

¹⁰For thou art full great, and making marvels; thou art God alone.

¹¹Lord, lead thou me forth in thy way, and I shall enter in thy truth; mine heart be glad, that it dread thy name.

¹²My Lord God, I shall acknowledge to thee in all mine heart; and I shall glorify thy name without end.

¹³For thy mercy is great on me; and thou deliveredest my soul from the lower hell.
