The Eighty-Sixth Psalm

Inclina, Domine.


BOW down thine ear, O LORD, and hear me; * for I am poor, and in misery.
 
Preserve thou my soul, for I am holy: * my God, save thy servant that putteth his trust in thee.
 
Be merciful unto me, O Lord; * for I will call daily upon thee.
 
Comfort the soul of thy servant; * for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
 
For thou, Lord, art good and gracious, * and of great mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
 
Give ear, LORD, unto my prayer, * and ponder the voice of my humble desires.
 
In the time of my trouble I will call upon thee; * for thou hearest me.
 
Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; * there is not one that can do as thou doest.
 
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship thee, O Lord; * and shall glorify thy Name.
 
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: * thou art God alone.
 
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.
 
I will thank thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart; * and will praise thy Name for evermore.
 
For great is thy mercy toward me; * and thou hast delivered my soul from the nethermost hell.
 
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.
 
But thou, O Lord God, art full of compassion and mercy, * long-suffering, plenteous in goodness and truth.
 
O turn thee then unto me, and have mercy upon me; * give thy strength unto thy servant, and help the son of thine handmaid.
 
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.
