Psalms 86

¹Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me;

²Preserve my soul; for I am godly:

³Be merciful unto me, O Lord;

⁴Rejoice the soul of thy servant;

⁵For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive,

⁶Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer;

⁷In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee;

⁸There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord;

⁹All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;

¹⁰For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:

¹¹Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth:

¹²I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart;

¹³For great is thy lovingkindness toward me;

¹⁴O God, the proud are risen up against me,

¹⁵But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious,

¹⁶Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;

¹⁷Show me a token for good,
