Psalm 86

	Bow down your ear, O LORD,          hear me: for I am poor and needy.
	Preserve my soul; for I am holy:          O you my God, save your servant that trusts in you.
	Be merciful unto me, O Lord:          for I cry unto you daily.
	Rejoice the soul of your servant:          for unto you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
	For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive;          and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon you.
	Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer;          and attend to the voice of my supplications.
	In the day of my trouble I will call upon you:          for you will answer me.
	Among the gods there is none like unto you, O Lord;          neither are there any works like unto your works.
	All nations whom you have made          shall come and worship before you, O Lord; and shall glorify your name.
	For you are great, and do wondrous things:          you are God alone.
	Teach me your way, O LORD;          I will walk in your truth: unite my heart to fear your name.
	I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart:          and I will glorify your name for evermore.
	For great is your mercy toward me:          and you have delivered my soul from the lowest hell.
	O God, the proud are risen against me,          and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set you before them.
	But you, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious,          long-suffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
	O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;          give your strength unto your servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
	Show me a token for good;          that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because you, LORD, have helped me, and comforted me
