Psalms 86 — RVA

A Prayer Of David.

86Verse 1Bow down thine ear, O LORD, and answer me; for I am poor and needy.
^{Verse 2}Preserve my soul; for I am godly: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
^{Verse 3}Be merciful unto me, O Lord; for unto thee do I cry all the day long.
^{Verse 4}Rejoice the soul of thy servant; for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
^{Verse 5}For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive, and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
^{Verse 6}Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
^{Verse 7}In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; for thou wilt answer me.
^{Verse 8}There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
^{Verse 9}All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and they shall glorify thy name.
^{Verse 10}For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.
^{Verse 11}Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name.
^{Verse 12}I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart; and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
^{Verse 13}For great is thy mercy toward me; and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest pit.

^{Verse 15}But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth.
^{Verse 16}O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.
^{Verse 17}Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed, because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me,
