Psalm 86 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

A Psalm of Supplication and Trust.

Psa 86:1
A Prayer of David.
Bow down thine ear, O Jehovah, and answer me;
For I am poor and needy.
Psa 86:2
Preserve my soul; for I am godly:
O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.
Psa 86:3
Be merciful unto me, O Lord;
For unto thee do I cry all the day long.
Psa 86:4
Rejoice the soul of thy servant;
For unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
Psa 86:5
For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive,
And abundant in lovingkindness unto all them that call upon thee.
Psa 86:6
Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer;
And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
Psa 86:7
In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee;
For thou wilt answer me.
Psa 86:8
There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord;
Neither are there any works like unto thy works.
Psa 86:9
All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord;
And they shall glorify thy name.
Psa 86:10
For thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
Thou art God alone.
Psa 86:11
Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth:
Unite my heart to fear thy name.
Psa 86:12
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart;
And I will glorify thy name for evermore.
Psa 86:13
For great is thy lovingkindness toward me;
And thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest Sheol.
Psa 86:14
O God, the proud are risen up against me,
And a company of violent men have sought after my soul,
And have not set thee before them.
Psa 86:15
But thou, O Lord, art a God merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.
Psa 86:16
Oh turn unto me, and have mercy upon me;
Give thy strength unto thy servant,
And save the son of thy handmaid.
Psa 86:17
Show me a token for good,
That they who hate me may see it, and be put to shame,
Because thou, Jehovah, hast helped me, and comforted me.
