Psalms 85 — UBES

85Verse 1A Prayer of David.O Lord, incline thine ear, and hearken to me;
For I am poor and needy.
^{Verse 2}Preserve my soul, for I am holy;
Save thy servant, O God, who hopes in thee.
^{Verse 3}Pity me, O Lord: for to thee will I cry all the day.
^{Verse 4}Rejoice the soul of thy servant:
For to thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.
^{Verse 5}For thou, O Lord, art kind, and gentle;
And plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.
^{Verse 6}Give ear to my prayer, O Lord;
And attend to the voice of my supplication.
^{Verse 7}In the day of my trouble I cried to thee: for thou didst hear me.^{Verse 8}There is none like to thee, O Lord, among the gods;
And there are no works like to thy works.
^{Verse 9}All nations whom thou hast made shall come,
And shall worship before thee, O Lord;
And shall glorify thy name.
^{Verse 10}For thou art great, and doest wonders:
Thou art the only and the great God.
^{Verse 11}Guide me, O Lord, in thy way,
And I will walk in thy truth:
Let my heart rejoice, that I may fear thy name.
^{Verse 12}I will give thee thanks, O Lord my God, with all my heart;
And I will glorify thy name forever.
^{Verse 13}For thy mercy is great toward me;
And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell.^{Verse 14}O God, transgressors have risen up against me,
And an assembly of violent men have sought my life;
And have not set thee before them.
^{Verse 15}But thou, O Lord God, art compassionate and merciful,
Long-suffering, and abundant in mercy and true.
^{Verse 16}Look thou upon me, and have mercy upon me:
Give thy strength to thy servant,
And save the son of thy handmaid.
^{Verse 17}Establish with me a token for good;
And let them that hate me see it and be ashamed;
Because thou, O Lord, hast helped me, and comforted me.
