Psalms 86:1-4

¹The prayer of David. (A prayer by 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. (Keep thou my life safe, for I am holy; my God, save thou thy servant, who trusteth in thee.)

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

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