Psalm 86. Inclina, Domine.
BOW down thine ear, O LORD, and hear me; * for I am poor, and
in misery.
2 Preserve thou my soul, for I am holy: * my God, save thy servant
that putteth his trust in thee.
3 Be merciful unto me, O Lord; * for I will call daily upon thee.
4 Comfort the soul of thy servant; * for unto thee, O Lord, do
I lift up my soul.
5 For thou, Lord, art good and gracious, * and of great mercy
unto all them that call upon thee.
6 Give ear, LORD, unto my prayer, * and ponder the voice of my
humble desires.
7 In the time of my trouble I will call upon thee; * for thou
hearest me.
8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; * there
is not one that can do as thou doest.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship thee,
O Lord; * and shall glorify thy Name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: * thou art
God alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O LORD, and I will walk in thy truth: *
O knit my heart unto thee, that I may fear thy Name.
12 I will thank thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart; * and
will praise thy Name for evermore.
13 For great is thy mercy toward me; * and thou hast delivered
my soul from the nethermost hell.
14 O God, the proud are risen against me; * and the congregations
of violent men have sought after my soul, and have not set thee
before their eyes.
15 But thou, O Lord God, art full of compassion and mercy, *
long-suffering, plenteous in goodness and truth.
16 O turn thee then unto me, and have mercy upon me; * give thy
strength unto thy servant, and help the son of thine handmaid.
17 Show some token upon me for good; that they who hate me may
see it, and be ashamed, * because thou, LORD, hast holpen me,
and comforted me.
